The exhilarating final book in the Otherworld Chronicles trilogy, which School Library Journal called "a surefire hit with the legions of Rick Riordan fans." Artie Kingfisher, his sister, Kay, and the New Knights of the Round Table have finally reached the legendary isle of Avalon. But before Artie can take his place as King Arthur reborn, he must recover nothing less than the mythical Holy Grail. And as the greatest battle of his life looms, Artie finds himself facing off against the one person he never dreamed he''d be fighting. In The Dragon King, Artie''s life-changing quest comes to a spectacular close as the young king discovers what it truly means to be a hero. Rich in mythology and bursting with twenty-first-century fun, this high-spirited spin on Arthurian legend is perfect for middle grade fans of Percy Jackson, the Alex Rider Chronicles, and House of Secrets.

No mundo que conhecemos, onde vive o garoto Artie Kingfisher, magos chamados Merlin, dragões que cospem fogo e espadas mágicas existem apenas em lendas e contos de fadas. Isso, porém, muda completamente no dia em que ele começa a receber, na vida real, mensagens saídas de seu jogo de video game favorito, chamado Outro Mundo. Pistas misteriosas levam Artie até uma loja estranha, de nome estranho – A Torre Invisível –, onde ele descobre que nada em sua história é o que parece. O menino é nada mais nada menos que o sucessor do lendário rei Arthur, nascido no século XXI para terminar a missão que o outro não conseguiu levar adiante. Ao lado da irmã, Kay, e carregando a célebre espada Excalibur, Artie cruzará o Outro Mundo – que não existe apenas no jogo – em uma jornada digna dos cavaleiros da Távola Redonda, enfrentando dragões, lobos famintos, poderosos feiticeiros e muitos outros perigos. Uma batalha que Artie já venceu no universo virtual agora terá que travar ao vivo, sem macetes nem vidas extras. Se ele perder, será o fim. Deste e de todos os mundos. “Animado e divertido, dá nova vida às lendas arthurianas.” Kirkus Reviews “Engraçado e repleto de ação, tem muito a oferecer aos leitores em busca de sua nova série.” Voya “Uma fantasia divertida, com mensagens positivas e criatividade de sobra para fazer os leitores esperarem ansiosamente os próximos volumes.” Booklist
