About this book

It’s been a month since 12-year-old Lily McKinley was whisked away to the Somnium Realm to rescue her father, and although she’s overjoyed to have him home, she can’t leave the magical world behind. The glowing stone pendant that transported her is now bringing strange creatures to life against her will, with her paper-mache pterodactyl and even scrambled eggs suddenly moving about on their own. Lily tries to pretend that everything is normal, but when her friend Cedric the dragon appears to tell her that an illness has taken over the kingdom, troubling questions haunt her. Where is Prince Pax? If he can save the Somnium Realm like he did before, why won’t he stop the blight? Lily and her friends must return to Castle Iridyll to find out.

Series

Lily McKinley, a caring, artistic 12-year-old girl, wishes her life could return to the way it was before she lost her father. But when she’s whisked away to a new realm—guided by a talking dragon named Cedric and her dad’s magical, glowing soothstone—she learns she has the power to create dreams that can save her broken world.

Mixing fantasy with Christian themes, the Dream Keeper Saga takes middle-grade readers on an adventure steeped in magic, mystery, and glimmers of hope. In these 5 thrilling stories, Lily and her schoolmates Adam and Keisha travel through a dreamlike landscape of castles, caverns, and forests. With the help of enchanted friends, they battle evil rulers to overcome darkness until the real hero, Prince Pax, comes to make all things new.

Endorsements

The stakes are high when Lily is called back to the realm of dreams, and her questions and fears will feel surprisingly true to life for young readers. Fortunately, so will the magic. A worthy companion to the first adventure!

James D. Witmer Managing Editor, StoryWarren.com; author, A Year in the Big Old Garden, Beside the Pond, and The Strange New Dog

Though Lily returns to the Realm and finds it marred by darkness, her story is an adventure of the best and brightest kind. Beautiful, honest, redemptive, and true, this book is sure to win a spot in the hearts of those who love the Chronicles of Narnia and the Wingfeather Saga. I can’t wait to see where Kathryn Butler steers her series next!

My favorite thirty minutes of every day are the moments before bed when I gather with my sons to read great stories. Our hearts connect as our imaginations are unlocked by the characters and adventures described on each page. Kathryn Butler’s excellent book, The Prince and the Blight, is a book we will read together again and again. Riveting storytelling meets meaningful themes in this treasure. Make room on your bookshelf. Your family will love—and grow through—this fantastical series.

What an exciting continuation of the Dream Keeper Saga! The plot twists and layers of character development will keep your kids thinking and guessing. Like the first installment in this series, The Prince and the Blight carries on with engaging readers in creative imagination and spiritual depth.

Gloria Furman Author of Treasuring Christ When Your Hands Are Full and The Pastor's Wife

Lily and Cedric were too compelling for one story alone. And Pax! What a joy to have this second book and see them now face a threat so relevant in our times. Kathryn Butler wins our trust with her characters, engaging turns, and deeply Christian themes. I’m excited to add the Dream Keeper Saga to our family canon.
