However, before their graduation, Halle and Celest return to Alagaësia on a special mission to find the land caught between a political struggle. After scorning King Orrin's marriage proposal, High Queen Nasuada's life and country are at risk. Celest, Marilis, and Halle must join the other Riders and their dragons to put an end to Orrin's plot. But the question is not if they can succeed. Rather, it is if they will. *** Special thanks to @Nikkisha16 for all of her help with this description and other things.

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING: "Natalie Wright has divined in Emily's House a simultaneous modern and ancient fairy tale of the greatest kind: sans parents, sans immediate consequence, sans cowardice. Bravery is said to be not the lack of fear, but action in the face of it. Like the best of Grimm, Perrault and Charles Schulz, Ms. Wright's kids find themselves amidst adventure, terror and turmoil, as well as ineffective and/or absent parental units. By their own bootstraps they must find help themselves to find their way home, to save not only each other, but perchance an entire civilization. "Adults drool, kids rule" is the motto for any well-written young adult or children's tale. Natalie's kids indeed rule. This one will last, alongside Grimm, Perrault and Schulz, in the coffers of timeless, fantasy literature. Plus, there's Hindergog and no one could not love Hindergog! Well done, Ms. Wright. Well done, indeed." - Jennifer S. Devore, author of "The Darlings of Orange County"
