The dense, steamy rainforests of Northern Borneo are some of the oldest and

most magical in the world. Under the shade of the towering tree canopies,

majestic elephants and orangutans roam. However, Cruz Coronado is more

focused on a tiny leech with a surprisingly painful, slow-healing bite. As he inches

closer and closer, he wonders if what he discovered at the top secret Archive is

true. …

In The Dragon’s Blood, the thrilling sixth installment in the Explorer Academy

series, Cruz is still reeling from an explosive revelation. But with Emmett, Sailor,

and Lani by his side, he’s more determined than ever to track down the next-tolast piece of his mother’s cipher. Nebula is close on their heels, though, and the

global hunt for the world-changing serum is riskier than ever. The daring explorers

follow clues to an emperor’s tomb, and their studies take them to a rugged island

in search of a mysterious animal once thought to be extinct. Just as Cruz feels

hopeful about the survival of a species—and his own survival—a voice threatens

to make sure his mission hits a dead end.
