Brenna Caldwythe walks in the forest on her sixteenth birthday and discovers a relic. Her discovery begins a chain of events which will forever alter her purpose in life. Aederan, the world upon which she lives is threatened by unspeakable evil, which is growing in strength and power.
"Listen child to the voices in the wind blowing through the grasses and the leaves, they speak of many things; the wise should listen to what they have to say. You are young and know not of the darkness, yet you sense its wicked ways. The evil is spreading through the water, the soil, and through the air, seeking to corrupt the world," Elliana said. "As a flickering flame can shine brightly in the darkness, driving back the shadows; so too, can the power of one who is pure, strong of heart, and faithful. My child, you are the one Light of Elliana and are Aederan's greatest hope. Go forth, and rally those who share your dream of finding the sanctuary, for within lays the destiny of your world."
Prince Donovan Answaar, through events, finds himself guided deep into the forest. Determined friends, in the form of Morgan, Changa, Girard, among others,
are found by Brenna who leads them to Donovan. Five friends realize they're experiencing the same recurring dreams which state they must begin a quest.
Twelve loyal friends discover the horrific truth about their world's ancient past. With the enemy pursuing their token force of intrepid adventurers, they must face dark sorcerers, evil necromancers, the undead, and the brutal malice of a Black Dragon. These stalwart heroes are locked in a race against time. The prize is nothing less than the hope of victory over ancient evil, which threatens to destroy their world.
How far would you go to protect your dragon from harm? An orphan must betray the dragon that gave him a true home and family to save his guardian's life.
Fourteen-year-old Foxkit plays with fire by striking a bargain with the ferocious dragon Aerohim: Let six runaway orphans hide in his den in Galefang forest, and they will help him find a lost artifact in his vast treasure hoard. Yet the longer they search, the more Kit hopes they'll never find it as the dragon's den becomes the home he never had.
Kit's wish is threatened when Aerohim starts growing weaker by the day, and the magic tracker Sheen warns him that their dragon is dying. The mysterious girl promises to heal Aerohim in exchange for one little thing from the hoard-the Dark Moon, a talon that once belonged to the powerful ancestor of all dragons. But Sheen isn't the only one hunting that ancient relic.
Lord Ash, a fallen unicorn that harvests magic bones from other creatures to replace his broken horn, storms the Galefang. Not wanting harm to come to the only one that has ever treated him like family, Kit must decide whether or not to steal the Dark Moon. Steal it, and lose Aerohim's trust forever-but just maybe save his life.
*Beware: Readers entering the Galefang may also encounter ravenous direwolves, vicious swarms of pixies, and a convicted pirate ship that escaped her bottle. Not responsible for any ensuing nightmares - peruse at your own peril.
