"Lush and magical." --KWAME MBALIA - "Astonishing." --MARK OSHIRO - "Abeni's story will sweep you away." --AMANDA FOODY The Children of the Night are free. Abeni and her spirit friends rescued them from a terrible fate in the Witch Priest's army of monsters. But when Abeni is asked to return home to rebuild her village, she refuses. She must carry on with her mission until all of her people are safe. When Abeni is captured and imprisoned by the legendary Kingdom of Gold Weavers, she must win her freedom by retrieving the mystical Golden Throne--or risk becoming a living statue of gold forever! Legend says the throne is guarded by a dragon who can only be defeated by a magic sword. But stories are not always what they seem. And the truth can change everything. To reclaim the throne, Abeni and her spirit companions must travel to a city of light high in the mountains and a lost kingdom beneath the sands, fight frightening monsters and a golden army, all while evading the Witch Priest's daughter, who hunts them at every turn. Without courage and strength, even a kingdom of gold will fall to darkness. Will Abeni and her song be enough to save them all? Abeni and the Kingdom of Gold is the second epic adventure in Abeni's tale of magic, monsters, friendship, and courage.
