B efore the city ever cried out for freedom, a prophecy was spoken. An old woman foretold that four newborns—Michal, a brave human girl; Petra, a steadfast unicorn colt; Flyby, a swift golden eaglet; and Zyon, a clever little purple dragon—would one day embark on a journey to uncover the truth their city needed and help defeat its enemies. In The Battle Cry for Freedom, the sequel to The City of Mystery by Christian children’s author Mary Beth Allen, the four friends return home from their first quest carrying an answer discovered in Salvatore, the stronghold of the fearsome Tresdids.
