Rose by Jeff Smith

4.0

Prequel to the Bone series.

Like the Hobbit did for The Lord of the Rings, Rose, a satisfying story on its own, sets up the events that take place in the series.

Many years before meeting the Bones, Gran'ma Rose was a young, brash princess. She and her sister, Briar, are called upon to defeat a rogue dragon who is terrorizing the countryside while possessed by the Lord of the Locusts. Though the red dragon tells Rose how to defeat the enemy, the information does not come without cost.
