Bookroo's summary

Thirteen-year-old Rose Gallagher's life turns thrilling when her dragon friend, Jade, needs her help. A fragment called the Harbinger could awaken ancient dragons, and a rival dragon in Las Vegas wants it for sinister plans. With only her fantasy-loving friend and a local occultist to assist, Rose must navigate danger and deception. As the battle rages over Las Vegas, Rose discovers the true power of friendship and trust. Can she and Jade secure the Harbinger before it's too late?

From the publisher

For thirteen-year-old Rose Gallagher, having a friend who is really a dragon and can perform magic, change shape, and fly her away from the predictability of small-town life feels like a dream come true. But secrets have a price, and the more Rose learns about her friend Jade and the world of dragons, the more dangerous her life becomes. Helped only by her fantasy-obsessed friend and a local occult enthusiast, Rose soon finds herself risking her life to help Jade recover a mysterious fragment of a meteorite called the Harbinger, which has the power to awaken countless dragons from their sixty-five-million-year slumber. Can they find the Harbinger before Jade’s enemies? As their battle unfolds over the neon-drenched skies of Las Vegas, Rose must face this overwhelming threat by drawing on the magic that humans possess—the power of friendship, compassion, and trust.
