Empire of Ivory



To my ongoing chagrin, I'm enjoying each book in this series more than the last. This one started slow (the dragons are getting sick!) but was a page turner from the second act onwards.

Our heroes go to South Africa to search for a cure, and have a detour through a King Solomon's Mines level Lost Kingdom. It was so fun! If this series turns out to be just a world tour of the early 1800s (but with dragons) I will be 110% satisfied.
