This is my friends book, written by them, not me.

Summary in my friends own words: So there are these giant flying 🐈 called Ryodana who are anywhere between 7 and 10 feet tall. There are two sub species, the Arumus who are usually larger, and the Argentumus who are smaller. If you don't know what Arum and Argentum are, where did you leave your brain cell. Seriously, didn't you read HoO. Gosh darn it. P.S. they have wings, and can fly, don't gripe at me over the physics of that. It is really cool.
Actual Summary: The villain Zartoc wants to absorb the energy provided by the bond between Ryodana and people, so the main characters Hope, Solanie, and Alea must go on a magic field trip to learn how to defeat him.
Noor, a dancer in the Royal Court of the Al-Yauzhan Empire wants nothing more than to pay off her debts and lead a nice, simple life-but a chance encounter with the crown prince and his brother brings her into the dangerous world of court politics. As Noor and the princes investigate their uncle and cousin's possible treason, she grows closer to the crown prince, but in order to save the kingdom and the person she loves, Noor will have to risk everything...
A romantic adventure set in an imagined Arabic kingdom, THE DANCING GIRL is a story of court intrigues, romantic entanglements, and secret meetings as Noor and her best friend Amir try to help the princes they're falling for expose corrupt court officials with plans to seize the throne. Noor and Amir are close to having everything they've ever dreamed of...now all they need to do is survive.
