The Twelve
Podrobnosti o e‑knize
Usagi can hear a squirrel’s heartbeat from a mile away, and soar over treetops in one giant leap. She was born in the year of the wood rabbit, and it’s given her extraordinary zodiac gifts.
But she can never use them, not while the mysterious, vicious Dragonlord hunts down all those in her land with zodiac powers. Instead, she must keep her abilities—and those of her rambunctious sister Uma—a secret.
After Uma is captured by the Dragonguard, Usagi can no longer ignore her powers. She must journey to Mount Jade with the fabled Heirs of the Twelve, a mystical group of warriors who once protected the land.
As new mysteries unfold, Usagi must decide who she stands with, and who she trusts, as she takes on deadly foes on her path to the elusive, dangerous Dragonlord himself.
Will Usagi master her powers in time to save her sister and the kingdom?
- Secret Powers: Usagi was born in the year of the rabbit, giving her incredible hearing and speed. But using her gifts could get her captured by the Dragonlord.
- A Sister in Peril: When her sister Uma is taken by the Dragonguard, Usagi must embrace her powers and risk everything on a rescue mission.
- Found Family: To save Uma, Usagi must join the Heirs of the Twelve, a mystical group of young warriors who are the land's only hope.
- Epic Quest Adventure: The journey to Mount Jade is filled with new friends, deadly foes, and tests of trust that will force Usagi to choose a side.
