Book Two of the thrilling Chimera's Apprentice series continues with The Stone Traveller . Kyra Murch struggles to adjust to life with her parents on Antiica and to the difficult task of controlling the chimera. As the humans and Raturro move closer to war, Mercy learns that rebel leader Majellan is after her; she is no longer safe in Deep Nestling. Kyra takes her to the Armory, but soldiers threaten her safety. Reunited with Coyne, the three friends seek out a distant nestling, Deep Wending, and hope the unusual Raturro they find there will allow Mercy refuge. After a run-in with huge serpents, the trio embark on a difficult journey to save one of their new friends but instead insult the Raturro by breaking an important tradition. Kyra and her friends must attempt to outwit Majellan before he closes in on them and forces Kyra to make a terrible choice: avert a war or save herself and her friends. Will Kyra stop Majellan once and for all?
