In The Ember Stone, did you enjoy ...

... the loyal bond with a rare, powerful winged companion like Blaze?

Starfire by Jennifer Lynn Alvarez

If the friendship between Tag, Skyla, and the last firehawk Blaze won you over in The Ember Stone, you’ll love following Star, a once‑in‑a‑generation black foal whose friends rally around him as danger closes in. Like Tag protecting Blaze from Thorn’s vultures, Star’s herd must safeguard him from enemies who fear his power, forging heartfelt bonds and daring rescues along the way.

... a prophecy-driven mission to stop a ruthless conqueror?

The Dragonet Prophecy by Tui T. Sutherland

You enjoyed how Tag’s team sets out to find the Ember Stone piece to thwart Thorn’s looming darkness across Perodia. In The Dragonet Prophecy, a group of young dragons raised for a destiny break out to end a war. Like Tag and Skyla dodging vulture scouts and chasing clues, the dragonets flee their cave, navigate new allies and enemies, and push a foretold quest toward saving their world.

... quick, cliffhanger-filled chapters and nonstop fantasy action for newer readers?

Rise of the Earth Dragon by Tracey West

If you tore through Tag and Skyla’s speedy chases, secret maps, and close calls with Thorn’s forces, Rise of the Earth Dragon will be a blast. Drake is whisked from ordinary life to bond with a dragon and train fast—much like how Tag suddenly shoulders a big destiny with Blaze. Short chapters, brisk battles, and constant reveals keep the pages turning.

... a small band becoming a true family while defending their world from a dark foe?

The Green Ember by S. D. Smith

If you loved how Tag, Skyla, and Blaze become more than teammates as they stand against Thorn, The Green Ember offers that same warm, loyal togetherness. Siblings Heather and Picket lose their home and find new allies among warrior rabbits, building trust and courage—just like Tag’s trio learning to rely on one another while protecting the Ember Stone’s secret.

... a light, hopeful quest to recover a missing magical stone?

The Lost Stone by Jordan Quinn

If the optimistic spirit of Tag’s quest—solving clues, meeting friendly creatures, and keeping hope alive against Thorn—made you smile, The Lost Stone hits the same note. Prince Lucas and Clara set out to find a precious gem, facing gentle dangers with courage and kindness, echoing the bright, can‑do tone of the early hunt for the Ember Stone.
