His best friend, Maya, however, isn’t so sure. She still remembers what dragons did to their world and isn’t ready to forgive and forget. She’s also not ready to let Noah out of her sight again, after what happened the last time. So when Noah and his old friend Lucas join forces to aid a dragon who might be in trouble, she insists on coming along for the ride, even if that means on dragonback.Together the three of them head to Boston, now known as the City of Scales. Championed as a new world order where dragons and humans have partnered to build a paradise of movie theaters, restaurants, libraries and even pro baseball games. To Noah, it’s a dream come true. A return to a world he thought he’d never see again. But Asha remains suspicious, believing something is rotten under this city’s shiny skin. And if she can’t convince Noah to believe her in time, it may cost her and her dragons their lives.About the author:Mari Mancusi always wanted a dragon as a pet. Unfortunately, the fire insurance premiums proved a bit too large and her house a bit too small, so she chose to write about them instead. An Emmy Award-winning former TV news producer, she now works as a full-time author, having published over thirty books, including the New Dragon City and Dragon Ops series. When not writing, Mari enjoys traveling, cosplaying, watching cheesy (and scary) horror movies, and playing video games. A graduate of Boston University, she lives in Austin, Texas, with her husband, Jacob, and daughter. She invites you to visit her at marimancusi.com or follow her @marimancusi.By purchasing a book from BookPeople, you are not only supporting a local, independent business – you’re showing publishers that they should continue sending authors to BookPeople.Thank you for supporting Mari Mancusi and your local independent bookstore! - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/austin/bookpeople-presents-mari-mancusi-war-of-the-wings/100001998993747109 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Austin - **state**: TX - **country**: United States - **location**: BookPeople - **lat**: 30.271987 - **long**: -97.7530036 - **full address**: BookPeople, 603 North Lamar Boulevard, Austin, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: BookPeople Presents: Mari Mancusi - War of the Wings - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/d9b1ea42dd0d7a5b61b566c0388094478ff90012d7ecffb0884e3cd899e8691d-rimg-w1200-h600-dc380818-gmir.jpg?v=1788219067 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is BookPeople Presents: Mari Mancusi - War of the Wings being held? - **A:** BookPeople Presents: Mari Mancusi - War of the Wings takes place on Sun, 04 Oct, 2026 at 05:00 pm to Sun, 04 Oct, 2026 at 06:00 pm at BookPeople, 603 North Lamar Boulevard, Austin, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing BookPeople Presents: Mari Mancusi - War of the Wings? - **A:** BookPeople Presents: Mari Mancusi - War of the Wings is organized by BookPeople. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at BookPeople's events? - **A:** Attendees have given BookPeople a rating of 5/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
