Sally's school is changing as the council tries to get more involved, and Mrs. Sullivan isn't sure how long she will be able to protect Sally. New teachers are being sent to the school by the council, and no one is sure what side they are on. They could be Pulhu, or they could be dedicated council members. Either way, Sally can't trust anyone else. Sally starts searching for the fire elementals, knowing that is the key to stopping everything terrible that is happening, but the Pulhu are already on the trail. They are searching all over for the fire elementals, and they may have a way of forcing them to do what they want. How will Sally get past them to save the fire elementals and earn their trust?As if that wasn't enough, a baby dragon is following Sally around. She doesn't know why he is staying close to her, but with the search for the fire elementals becoming a race against the Pulhu, she plans to use every advantage she has, even if the dragon doesn't want to tell her what's going on.
