Dragons of the Valley (Valley of the Dragons #2)

Donita K. Paul

Description from Goodreads: With an invasion of her country imminent, Tipper Schope is drawn into a mission to keep three important statues from falling into the enemy’s clutches. Her friend, the artist Bealomondore, helps her execute the plan, and along the way he learns to brandish a sword rather than a paintbrush. 

As odd disappearances and a rash of volatile behavior sweep Chiril, no one is safe. A terrible danger has made his vicious presence known: The Grawl, a hunter unlike any creature encountered before.

My Review: If you've read Dragons of Chiril/The Vanishing Sculptor, definitely pick this one up next! (if you haven't, what are you waiting for?!) This is a great continuation of Tipper's and Bealomondore's adventures, and just like all of Donita K. Paul's other work, it continually held my interest. Very difficult to put down, in fact. My only complaint is the ending seemed a little rushed.
