Publisher's Synopsis
When one of Babylon's fabled dragons licks Tiamat's hand, her luck begins to change. A humble perfume-maker's daughter from the outer city, she is chosen to play in the Twenty Squares championships in the blue and gold palace against the best teams in the country.
But with a mad king on the throne and the Persian army at the gates, Tiamat's gift is in demand for much higher stakes. Her lucky hand holds the key to the magical gateways that can get the Persians into the heart of the palace without a drop of blood being shed. When the writing is on the wall for the Babylonians, can Tiamat and her friends save the dragons from extinction?
Book 2 of the action-packed Seven Fabulous Wonders series by award-winning author Katherine Roberts.
