Battle Dragons: City of Thieves
Author: Alex London Category: All, Science Fiction Publisher: Scholastic Press Published: September 21, 2021 ISBN: 9781338716566 More DetailsIn Battle Dragons: City of Thieves, Drakopolis isn’t just a backdrop — it’s a living, breathing beast. Neon veins run through its skyscrapers, gangs own the skies, and dragons fuel everything from power grids to turf wars. The city hums with danger, and that danger pulls you in from page one.
Abel, the reluctant hero at the heart of the story, is no chosen one. He’s just a kid trying to keep his head down, but Drakopolis has other plans. When his sister — sharper, darker, and already tangled in the city’s underworld — ropes him into a job, Abel finds himself staring down risks that could eat him alive. The jackpot? A dragon unlike any other: rare, unclaimed, and every bit as wild as the streets they’re fighting to survive.
The book burns fast and bright, mixing high-stakes heists with dragon-back showdowns and a cityscape that feels just as dangerous as any rival gang. It’s gritty, breathless, and full of teeth — a story where every alley holds a threat and every choice could be fatal.
If you’re looking for a ride that’s equal parts fire and neon, City of Thieves delivers.
