Publisher's summary

Welcome to Allspire, a quaint goblin city nestled in an isolated hollow of the Marred Mountains.

Zak - son of the goblin chief - is preparing for his Blood Rite. This rite of passage will test his strength in the goblin art of blood magic; and will be his first step toward filling his father's monstrous footsteps. Being too mature now to believe in the hag's tales of demons and ghosts haunting the Dauntwood, Zak now fears a very real terror: failing. Of course, it's a simple thing to not fear the horrors in the woods, when you've never seen a monster like the Hew-Men. Though, Zak is about to learn that he may have seen at least one Hew-Man...every day of his life.

Join Zak's exciting adventure through this whimsical realm of prophesy and magic. Zak may be just coming of age, but already he finds the tenuous peace resting on his shoulders. Fleeing from one perilous battle to another, will Zak be able to keep these two kingdoms from destroying each other? It is up to Zak to stop the spiraling chaos and unlock the magical potential that is his destiny, all while discovering what it means to be human...or goblin.

This book is a prime example environmental control

Liz the goblin girl is the definition of a spoiled entitled wannabe brat. Even when she learns she's not human, she still treats Zak and the others like disgusting fungus. "Is that a threat," seriously. Still, she deserved that wake-up call, maybe not the Lizard part. A good epilogue should have been Zak finding his real father, learning of the past, knowing if the lady dragon regains her power, fire strength whatever, even though she said she's old and did fly away in the end but, I kind of wanted more good things in the end. Nice little story to relax to though.
