About this ebook
Teenage dragon handlers return home—but their adventures are far from over—in the long-awaited final novel of this beloved YA fantasy adventure.
Jakkin and Akki are finally back home after a long and difficult time away. But Austar IV isn’t the planet it once was, and their return to the dragon nursery arouses mixed emotions.
Together, Jakkin and Akki have learned to survive the brutal conditions of Dark After and communicate with the dragons they love. But with this knowledge comes responsibility. What they know about survival could transform the planet—or, if entrusted to the wrong hands, bring about its destruction.
Akki is determined to return to the Rokk to finish her training and begin new experiments. But her choice causes a rift between her and Jakkin. Suddenly she finds herself in the midst of a political battle that could claim her life. Only Jakkin can save her. If only he could reach her. . . .

I read the trilogy many times growing up. I wanted a 4th book. I wrote Jane and her publisher. I even started to write my own 4th book. Then 10 years later this comes out......and its flat all the way through. I was expecting so much more. And more could have been done. the story seems rushed, there was no build up and the ending left a bad taste. I had hoped that maybe she would think about doing a 5th book, but Jane said she's done writing about Jakkin, Akki and the Dragons. :(

I'm not sure if I grew up and don't remember the other books or she just lost her ability to write. This entire book could be a short story used in a school assignment. The plot is simple and nothing really incredible happens. Seems like it was written just to make money or (try to) end the story. Sorry just not good at all.
