The Second Book of Nampeshiweisit A young indigenous woman and her dragon fight for the independence of their homeland in this epic sequel to the bestselling and multi-award-winnin g To Shape a Dragon's Breath Anequs has not only survived her first year at Kuiper's Academy but exceeded her professors' admittedly low expectations - and passed all her courses with honors. Now she and her dragon, Kasaqua, are headed home for the summer, along with Theod, the only other native student at the Academy. But what should have been a relaxing break takes a darker turn. Thanks to Anequs's notoriety, there is an Anglish presence on Masquapaug for the first time ever: a presence that Anequs hates. Anequs will always fight for what she believes in, however, and what she believes in is her people's right to self-govern and live as they have for generations, without the restrictive yoke of Anglish rules and social customs. And fight she will - even if it means lighting a spark that may flare into civil war. Show more
