This is about a young princess, named Aerin, who was ridiculed, hated, and never given her right to be royalty. The reason for this is, her mother was believed to be a witch and to have enspelled the king into loving her. After getting sick from eating a lot of the surka plant, Aerin found the recipe to a fire retardant ointment called Kenet, in an old book. She used this Kenet to help her fight dragons and when she face the last of the great dragons, Maur, the Kenet prevented his fire from burning her alive. Personally my favorite of the book was when Aerin fights her evil uncle Agsded but I do not want to give too much away so I’ll tell you this, the book gets its name from this fight i think. I recommend this book to anyone who likes action, adventure, fantasy or fighting or even if you just like one of those in your books. I’m sure you will love it. Reviewed by Andrew J. PLEASE READ IT!
