The Legend: Revealed
Wytregon, the Historian of Dragons swung his three heads skyward and cried out, "Why?" Anger shot through him like an arrow piercing his armored scales.

A child raised by Dragons and found by the peoples of Urthe. The Dragon Child must become the bridge between the two in order to fulfill her destiny. But, how can she do this if she's been ripped away from the Dragons? Will her Dragon family be able to find her in time? And in this new world ... what dangers will she have to face?

A wonderful dragon saga.
After devouring her first book, I grabbed up the second. The worlds created are magical, mortal/dragon, and heavy undercurrents of a world where love and peace tries to rise to the top. Looking forward to the next battle for survival, magicians, oh my.

Weaving diverse and interesting pieces of the puzzle together, The Legend: Revealed by Cheryl Rush Cowperthwait tells the story of Kaida and her soulmate – the dragon, Zlemtec, and how they visit the land of Kaida’s parents to put an end to the enmity between both groups and bring back peace among all.
When I first started reading this book, it couldn’t quite catch my interest as it tried to encapsulate the entire book 1 in the series (The Legend of the Dragon Child) within the introduction. It was too much information and too many character names crammed into a small chapter. However, the story picks up right after chapter 1 and manages to get the ready fully engrossed in the book thereafter.
The ending, if you haven’t guessed it yet, is a cliffhanger. I wish the book told more of the story before it concluded as it had me totally engrossed right up to that point.

Book 2 was just as amazing as book 1,
There is so much to wrap yourself around. Oh to see the giant Fireflies would be amazing.
The wolves leave you biting your nails, But there are elements that are useful but still hold danger such as the magic stones.
Kaida was raised by Dragons and in that she found her soulmate, and yes its a dragon and that would be Zlemtec.
Kaida has a destiny to save the people and become a legend, is not that easy when two worlds that have no understanding of each other can make things, interesting, dangerous and hard to keep the peace at the best of times. So what happens. Well read the series and find out. You won't be disappointed.

hough I was confused whether the dragons had arms or legs.. Sometimes they felt like they had parts of both.

Unable to stop reading this book!
I have been enveloped in reading dragon related books for a while now. But none quite captivated me so much as the Dragon Child. It's different, intriguing, and full of excitement. You won't be sorry to get this series!

The Legend: Revealed is a work of fantasy fiction written for children by author Cheryl Rush Cowperthwait. It forms the second book in the Legend of the Dragon Child series after the novel which gives the series its name. In book one, Kaida discovered her destiny as the Dragon Child due to her prominent mark and the legend which surrounds it. Now, in book two, Kaida’s tenuous links to the people of Urthe and the dragon society have her caught in the crossfire of two worlds which don’t understand one another. She is the link between them, the path to peace, but her dragon family fears that she will face too many dangers on the road to fulfilling her purpose.
It’s wonderful to see a talented author bringing remnants of classic fantasy into modern children’s fiction, for example the traditional names of the Dragons and the quest-style plot of the novel as a whole. Cheryl Rush Cowperthwait really knows how to write cleanly to convey the story to her middle grade audience, whilst at the same time giving a solid world and lore that has its own logic, as well as vivid details that make Kaida and her two worlds leap off the page for readers. I believe this is a book that both adults and children can enjoy together, a solid and exciting mid-point to a series which promises much more beyond it. I’d highly recommend The Legend: Revealed as a perfect starter novel (and series) to get your youngsters into the fantasy genre.

For those television fans who have fallen in love with Daenerys Stormborn, the mother of dragons in HBO’s Game of Thrones, here is a fantasy series and a heroine you will love just as much, if not more. Daenerys is the mother of dragons. She was given three dragon eggs and she caused them to hatch into live dragons. Kaida, the Dragon Child of The Legend: Revealed by Cheryl Rush Cowperthwait, is in many ways the opposite of her Game of Thrones counterpart. She is a human child whose birth is aided by dragons when her mother dies in childbirth. In many ways that is where the similarities between the television show and the book by Cheryl Rush Cowperthwait end. Game of Thrones is very much a story of humans, while The Legend: Revealed is the story of dragons. I like this story of dragons more. It is full of magic, dragons, catastrophic events, and love.
Kaida is raised by dragons so her personality is a bit peculiar by human standards. She has some special abilities like magic and the ability to communicate with animals. So along with dragon friends and family, she is also protected and loved by Sigrunn and Tyrianua, a couple of white wolves that have been with her since they were pups. These non-human characters are one of the best aspects of the story in my opinion. Kaida is a child of prophecy and has a big role to play in the time of great change that has already started. This prophecy is what propels the plot forward and the writing of Cheryl Rush Cowperthwait keeps the suspense and drama going. A great book for young readers, especially young girls.

The Legend: Revealed by Cheryl Rush Cowperthwait is a high fantasy novel. This is the second book in Cowperthwait's The Legend of the Dragon Child series. The story revolves around the Dragon Child, Kaida, and among many others, Zlemtec, Kaida's dragon friend. At the beginning of The Legend: Revealed, Kaida is cut off from her friends and allies, and she is made to live and survive mostly on her own until she can reunite with them.
To begin with, because The Legend: Revealed is the second novel in a high fantasy series, it is more than likely new readers will get a bit lost, and may be a little intimidated by the overload of information and the richness of Cowperthwait's story. I suggest reading the first book before jumping into The Legend: Revealed. Regardless, I am used to high fantasy novels and fantasy in general so I was able to grasp most things, especially because of the prologue.
Without giving any spoilers away, I will say that I enjoyed reading through The Legend: Revealed, mainly due to Cowperthwait's very polished writing. I was able to envision Kaida's story and, as I read on, I felt transported with every word that seamlessly flowed. "The ground they walked upon was thick blue-green moss, which cushioned each step and sprung back as their foot moved to another spot." I highly recommend fans of fantasy to give Cowperthwait's series a try. Emotions will be rattled, but the promise of action, suspense, and adventure await.
