Life for the countries of the world is long and arduous. Wars, battles, alliances, meetings, summits, agreements… the list goes on and on. There is hardly a day’s rest for anyone, and the arrival of eight large dragons does not make anything easier.
Wait a second… DRAGONS?!
That’s right, dragons. Eight of them. Eight huge, scaly, winged, fire-breathing dragons, all somehow alive and well in the modern world, and each resembling different members of the Allies and Axis powers:
Ludwig, the powerfully intimidating German;
Feliciano, the beautiful roly-poly Italian;
Kiku, the quiet imperial Japanese;
Alfred, the bumbling bouncer of the United States;
Arthur, the swooping terror of the English Isles;
Francis, the bearded beauty of France;
Ivan, the smiling crusher of the Russian north;
And Yao, the ancient symbol of China.
Though terrifying at first, these dragons mean no harm to their respective nation counterparts. However it will take more than a few pacifying treats to figure that out, as the nations will discover soon enough…
Saving the life of the infamous rookie pirate, Captain Ruben Kirk, catapults Jessica Red into a sea of magic, jewel heists, and world-saving adventure.
