The Sage's Legacy #2
The Dragon Manuscript
Alternative Cover Edition of ASIN: B075T7GGD1
The fight with the Vikings may have been successful, but there is no rest for the wicked – and Freya is about to find out just how wicked they can be.
Merely weeks after the victory with Cadmael, the young Sage is recovering in Scotland by day, and playing with newfound powers by night. The fun cuts off abruptly when Sam returns with worrying news of a conquistador rallying all the ghosts of Spain in the thousands, and Seamus calls Brennan to help on the new mission.
This time, there is more at stake than the fate of the world. Evil awaits galore, safely hidden in the confines of the old city. As they battle attacks from all sides, and hopelessly try to rescue one of their own, Freya and Brennan will have to work together more than ever before. Their pasts will become more intertwined than their futures.
And through it all, the dragon manuscript will guide them to survive…or bring them to their doom.

Alexa has been a lifelong writer and first began creating other worlds and characters at the ripe age of 12.

Her series focus on strong heroines, kind yet sexy men, fights of good and evil and the never-ending learning curve of humanity’s strong – and weak – points. Romanian folklore is intertwined with her writing, more notably in her shifter romance series, the Moonlight Rogues. Her other series draw on world mythology, such as the Avalon myth and Arthurian legend (the Avalon Chronicles) and Ancient Egypt (The Sage’s Legacy).

Freya and Brennan still struggle with mutual trust issues, mostly on the part of Freya, who continues to be short-tempered, bossy and headstrong. As each of their powers grow, their common bond, being two halves of a prophecy seems to begin to break Freya’s walls down and she begins to take time to enjoy being a teen with Brennan, but even their brief moments of light-hearted fun will be overshadowed when the manuscript seems to beckon them with its powers.
The Vikings may have been vanquished, but now more evil, far worse, has zeroed in on this dynamic duo and the stakes are higher than ever before. Will a scorned and jealous god take aim at the secrets they hold? What about the conquistador ghosts amassing their numbers in the thousands to take a run at these two magical and powerful teens?
Their strength lies in trust, trusting in their own abilities and each other, key to their success. Trust must be earned and Freya will need to take a leap of faith to rely on the powerful wiseman who seems to get under her skin like an irritating tick.
Meanwhile, evil has infiltrated their ranks and seems to be one step ahead of them at every turn. Have they been betrayed by one of their own? There is never a dull moment as Freya and Brennan find that for now, life is not going to get any easier, but it will become doubly dangerous.
THE DRAGON MANUSCRIPT by Alexa Whitewolf takes us on another tension-filled journey with Freya and Brennan as we witness a coming of age in both of them, shouldering the weight of the world on their shoulders. Powerful enemies, overwhelming odds and the prophecy’s fulfillment all teeter in the balance, as once again, these unlikely allies must learn to trust in each other for strength and balance.
I absolutely love this series! These teens come across like kids you may see walking down the street in the way they interact. Brennan seems to know just how to get to Freya, yet, one feels like there is something more going on beneath the surface, almost like an awkward and highly unlikely young romance. If the pages aren’t teeming with action, they are channeling electric tension and new discoveries…nonstop start to finish. Excellent reading, highly recommended, but only if you like strong, well-defined characters and a plot that rages on at warp speed!

The Dragon Manuscript is the second book in Alexa Whitewolf’s Sage Legacy, and as with the first it was a fun read. Although the series is not my favourite Alexa Whitewolf series, it is a gripping read for fans of young adult fantasy.
With The Dragon Manuscript, we dig deeper into the world first introduced to us in The Dragon Medallion. Both the world and the characters grow a lot in this story, pulling you in to see how everything comes together. I did find it a wee bit slow at places, but the way things came together was a lot of fun.
As with my rating of The Dragon Medallion, my three-star rating reflects the fact I prefer older young adult novels. I prefer it when stories go a bit darker, deal with heavier issues, and this one was fun but not quite what I prefer. Those who enjoy all kinds of young adult novel are sure to enjoy this one, though.
Overall, a great second book.

In the first book, I dealt with Vikings. The second follows the history of the conquistadors. I think a big part that separates this book from other young adult paranormal is the partially historical aspect of the villains. “Relics of the Underworld”, Book #3, will be the final instalment this summer! I, for one, can’t wait to see where Freya and Brennan’s adventure takes them next!!
