Der Enderdrache kommt! Zetta ist vielleicht nicht die beste Zaubertrank-Herstellerin aller Welten, aber als ihr Dorf von einem Rudel Illager angegriffen wird, ist sie die Einzige, die erkennt, dass ihre Verteidigungsmaßnahmen nicht ausreichen werden. In der Werkstatt ihrer Tante sucht sie nach neuen Mitteln – und findet ein Drachenei! Das Wesen, das daraus schlüpft, erinnert mit seinen Schuppen und den lila Augen sehr an den Enderdrachen. Trotzdem zieht Zetta ihn zusammen mit ihren Freunden auf, in der Hoffnung, dass er bei der Verteidigung gegen die Illager helfen wird. Doch dieses Vorhaben birgt ganz eigene Gefahren, und schon bald sind die Illager vielleicht nicht mehr die einzige Bedrohung für Zettas Zuhause.

Nearly a thousand years after leaving Earth, humanity survives within the vast bodies of the Zenzee, majestic space-faring creatures that have suffered from exploitation. Under the leadership of Doka Kaleigh, the Parados I has seen a resurgence, thriving against the odds. However, Doka's success threatens his rivals, who initially believed he would fail, thus reinforcing their matriarchal dominance. Despite facing vocal opposition and direct challenges to his authority, Doka navigates his leadership with poise, aware that any mistake could lead to catastrophe. When a disaster on another Zenzee world brings thousands of refugees, cultural tensions rise, unearthing buried secrets that jeopardize their future. For Doka, the stakes are personal—he is in love with his wife, Seske, a relationship deemed forbidden. Together, they must unite the Zenzee worlds to halt their destructive cycles. As they uncover a transformative discovery, they realize they are preparing for a conflict with no clear victors, only those who will survive. In this precarious situation, Doka and Seske's bond will be tested, and the fate of their world hangs in the balance.
Take flight with the ender dragon in this official Minecraft novel! When a desert town is threatened by illager raids, a young adventurer turns to a newborn dragon to save her home. Zetta is the best potion-maker in the village of Sienna Dunes. Okay, maybe she's the only potion-maker in the village of Sienna Dunes. And maybe her potions don't exactly work like they're supposed to all the time. But when her village is menaced by a pack of illagers, only Zetta can see that the traditional ways won't keep Sienna Dunes safe anymore. Zetta journeys to her eccentric aunt's workshop outside town to search for an answer and finds a lot more than she bargained for. A mysterious egg hatches into a scaly creature with purple eyes, black wings, and poisonous breath. It can't possibly be the mythical ender dragon . . . can it? And if it is, can Zetta raise it to be the savior her village needs? The threat of the illagers is growing fast, and Zetta's accidental dragon is growing even faster. With the help of her two best friends and her daydreaming little cousin, Zetta must train the scariest (and scaliest) baby in the Overworld. But when the dragon is fully grown, will it save Sienna Dunes? Or will it spell the village's end?
