Talons of Power (Novel #9)

For every villain, there is a hero...

Turtle has never thought of himself as the heroic type. Rather than using his secret animus powers to help Pyrrhia, he keeps them hidden from everyone - even his own sister. With the return of Darkstalker, the ancient dragon from legend, Turtle believes the safest choice is to stay out of sight and avoid drawing attention to himself.

But as he secretly observes Darkstalker's growing power, Turtle realizes someone has to stand against him. With time running short and no obvious hero stepping forward, Turtle may have no choice but to risk everything and become the hero Pyrrhia needs.
