Finnian Thysor's younger brother Archibald is a magician. It can often come in quite handy having someone he can turn to for free spells and charms who still owes him for years of brotherly annoyance.
However it can just as often cause problems that Finn would rather not have to deal with. Such as when a miscast spell causes Archie to disappear without a trace. And then it isn't long before the magical pleas for help start arriving.
So, armed with the name of a beach on the mysterious Arys Isle, Finn sets out to find him. But Arys Isle is a strange place and the people are even stranger. Not to mention the ever present rumour that dragons have been spotted on the Isle once more.

Drake of the Northwind
In a world where the echoes of dragons still shake the heavens, one young wizard walks the thin line between water and ice, peace and vengeance. Raised by the ancient Water Dragon Vasserneel and taught the forgotten ways of Dragon Slayer magic, Meliodas Drake once lived a life of calm strength-until the day his mentor vanished into a storm that split sea from sky. Left with only a frozen scale and a pendant marked by a broken rune, Meliodas began a journey across Fiore, chasing whispers of dragons and legends buried beneath the tides. But power has a price. When an encounter with a frost-beast awakens the dormant Ice Dragon Slayer magic within him, Meliodas becomes something new-something the world hasn't seen before. His heart is torn between two natures: the flowing mercy of water and the unforgiving stillness of ice. As he travels the land, crossing paths with mages, guilds, and foes alike, Meliodas must learn to control the storm within him before it consumes everything he loves. For in the north winds, an ancient force stirs-one that remembers the dragons, and the boy who carries their legacy in his soul. Elemental magic. Lost dragons. A hero forged by the tides. The legend of Drake of the Northwind begins.Complete

Malus
Perry Arval isn't what anyone would call unskilled. After all, he's a magician. He can manipulate arts most could never dream of, like going from his home in Ireland to the other side of the world in seconds. But it's never been enough. The only thing he's interested in is summoning, but, thanks to his halfling spirit, he can't do it without risking possession. Not that the strict law that keeps people like him away from sorcery stopped him from pursuing it anyway. With a fire demon fused to his soul and a red flag sticking out of his uniquely strong spirit, things take a turn for the worse-namely when a dark and powerful demon slips into his life. Now that this angry spirit has a hold on him and a target painted on the society of magicians he calls home, everyone he knows is in danger. When his father goes missing, Perry must seek the aid of someone he never even knew existed: his twin sister. Together for the first time in sixteen years, Perry and his sister Bronte are thrown into an adventure that spans from New York City to the brink of the demon realm in order to save their parents and put an end to a thousand-year-old vendetta.Complete
