Sadly, Adam does not have his own Ice Dragon or Ghost Panther. But he really wishes he did!

Read an Excerpt

From Beast Quest #21: Amulet of Avantia: Rashouk the Cave Troll

From out of the shadows came a creature more terrifying than anything Fren had ever laid eyes on. The Beast wasn't much taller than a man, but was five times as wide, and his shoulders scraped along the cave walls.

Fren recognized the creature, but only from old stories he had thought were fantasy. "A troll!" he cried, stumbling backward as the Beast pounded toward them, his yellow teeth bared. Fren could see that the troll's hands were the size of large spades, and that the fingers on his right hand had long, jagged yellow nails. "Run!" he shouted to Bly.
