We all have unique gifts. Not using them can be as harmful as using them for evil.

The evil wizard, Calcine, has a plan to take over the dragon kingdom of Tarragon by turning the gift of fire against them.

The queen sends Sir Remington Brandabum, the bravest of the Royal Dragon Guards, to the human world to find an artist. Tarragon was born of the human imagination, so only a human can rebuild it. He must overcome his fear of the creatures who slayed his parents to save his kingdom.

Kriti is alone on the streets of a city where she's known only pain and loneliness. Art is in her heart, but she's afraid to unleash it after seeing what it did to her mother.

When Remington finds her, can he convince her to embrace her talents and save Tarragon?All Rights Reserved

Hidden away in the uncharted waters of the farthest seas lies an island that doesn't appear on any map, a place shrouded in mystery and legend. The island, known to few and feared by many, is home to the last remaining Night Furies-the most elusive and powerful of dragons. Towering structures, ancient and forgotten, rise from the heart of dark forests that stretch endlessly across the land. Deep within the island's vast caverns, secrets are buried that even the oldest creatures dare not speak of. The Midnight Tribe, as they are known, live in the shadows, guarding their way of life with fierce loyalty. Their warriors, born from the very blood of Night Furies, possess powers far beyond what any Viking could imagine. But as rumors of the island's existence spread to the world beyond, a new threat looms on the horizon. Intruders seeking the legendary creatures for their own gain risk awakening ancient forces that have long since slumbered. As the island's fragile peace is threatened, the tribe's youngest warrior must embark on a journey that will reveal the truth of their origins-and whether their legacy can survive the encroaching darkness. Can the Night Fury tribe protect their home and their secrets, or will the world's hunger for power destroy everything they hold dear?
