If this wasn’t enough to raise scales Zelli’s reoccurring nightmare of a dark entity annihilating her world may be more than just a bad dream. Something sinister is lurking in the halls of the academy, and only Zelli seems to notice. But when Zelli uncovers a dark past hidden beneath Dungeon Academy, she unlocks something that will concern everyone at school, every dragon at Waterdeep, and everything within the Forgotten Realms.

From New York Times bestselling author Madeleine Roux and acclaimed artist Tim Probert comes the thrilling third novel in the original Dungeons & Dragons middle grade series!

Zelli Stormclash and the Danger Club have only one goal: save their friend Bauble from the evil clutches of Elgred Morbide. There’s only one problem—the evil machinations of Morbide’s selfish plots have come to a head, and the final battle for Dungeon Academy has already begun. Deep beneath the desert, a monstrous dracolich is about to be unleashed, an evil, undead dragon bent on revenge against everything in her path.

Zelli is no longer on a rescue mission but a fated quest to save Dungeon Academy, Faerun, and all the Forgotten Realms. Our motley crew of heroes must rise to the occasion and wield the most important weapon an adventurer can carry: hope. Against impossible odds, the Danger Club—members old and new—must take one last stand together and fight like never before . . . till the very end.

Join the Danger Club in this final tale of daring rescue, selfless sacrifice, and scale-raising adventure!

A 96-page, full-color early chapter book, based on the iconic board game Dungeons & Dragons and featuring characters from the hit middle grade series Dungeon Academy!

Being a human at the prestigious Dungeon Academy is strictly forbidden. That’s why Zelli Stormclash must keep her identity a secret!

Disguised as a minotaur, Zelli does her work, tries her best to blend in with her monstrous surroundings all the while keeping to herself. Unless it involves bullies. Zelli hates bullies and has no problem putting a stop to their antics.

When a smaller student is teased by a gang of goblin bullies, Zelli steps in to save the day. But will the “Bully Crusher” take on more than she can handle?

Som väktare av den eviga flamman lever de ett fridfullt liv, men allt förändras en dag när Bea möter Cad i skogen. Cad är en galdurier, ett folkslag som länge ansetts vara utdött, och han hoppas att Gristrollkarlen ska kunna hjälpa honom i sökandet efter hans folk.

När de kommer fram till Beas hem är Gristrollkarlen försvunnen. Tillsammans med Cad och katten Nimm lämnar Bea sin trygga tillvaro för att ta reda på vad som kan ha hänt honom. Det blir en äventyrlig resa, och på vägen kommer de att möta både nya vänner och farliga motståndare. Ska Bea och Cad lyckas hitta trollkarlen innan världens sista Ljus har gått förlorat och det eviga mörkret faller över Irpa?
