This debut novel is everything we want in a YA fantasy: schools of magic, ancient secrets, twisted monsters, and a noble kid-turned-hero. White takes you on a journey to unlock the secrets of a new kind of magic, Dragon Metal, alongside brave protagonist Jestin Kase.
What I think makes this book even more special than the story within, is the author’s approach to writing fantasy based in reality. His career as a newspaper reporter gave him deep glimpses into the challenges of the world, from the struggles of foster care to the tragedies of murder and war. His fiction often reflects these experiences. Instead of setting his stories in alternate, dystopian futures, he looks at the dystopia of the world we live in today, through the lens of urban fantasy and adventure, with a little dark humor.
