Protect the youngest heir of the Dragon King. That is the mission given to Imari in this prequel novella to The Alaris Chronicles. The King of Alaris and the High Wizard of the Citadel are getting greedy for more power, so Imari, a young wizard apprentice, must flee the Citadel and warn the Dragon King of the wizards’ planned aggression and invasion of neighboring kingdoms. On his tail is his best friend Hannah—a young battle wizard apprentice that believes in the High Wizard’s cause. Traveling from Alaris to Mahli, Imari finds a forgotten barony, meets the Dragon King, and flies on a dragon, which is more adventure than Imari ever thought he would have as a relatively young and weak wizard. But, when the Prophecy of the Dragon is spoken, will Imari take up the cause to protect the legacy of the Dragon King at all costs—even if that means losing his best friend? Read this adventurous and magical tale either before or after reading The Alaris Chronicles, a three-book fantasy series that begins with The Dragon Orb.

For 100 years it protected them… …and now the magical barrier is about to fail. What waits on the other sidee? Bakari is nerdy and awkward. At 15, he’s lived at the Wizard Citadel for most of his life. Everything seems to be working out like he’d hoped. He just got promoted to Level 1 and despite being painfully shy, he has a friend. Kharlia knows medicine. And he really likes her. When Bakari finds an ancient map that marks a source of power, he must check it out. With Kharlia by his side, they wander through the Kingdom toward the spot on the map. The trip isn’t what they expect. Magical creatures have made it through the barrier. Should they fight or flee? Bakari knows they are in trouble. He isn’t a battle wizard. As they struggle against the beasts, the worst thing Bakari can imagine happens. Will they survive? You’ll love this first book in The Alaris Chronicles, because of the beautifully woven story with diverse characters, great adventure, and political intrigue. Get it now.

The barrier is down, war is brewing and dragons fill the skies once more. Bakari is the first dragon rider in centuries but he alone cannot subdue the growing tensions among the kingdoms around Alaris. He begins a quest to find more dragon riders—the only way to secure peace in the fractured lands around him. In this second book of the Alaris Chronicles everyone is forced to choose sides in the battle for the governance of Alaris. Roland Tyre seizes control of the Citadel and carefully plays both sides—but his immense charm and considerable wizard powers may prove useless against a deadly and hidden enemy. Battle Wizard Alli Stenos is in the thick of every fight she can find and only wants to secure an end to the violence. The three young wizards, Bakari, Roland and Alli have become more powerful than many of their elders. But will that be enough to keep Alaris, and the surrounding kingdoms, from descending into all out war?

Evil is spreading across the Western Continent. One by one, kingdom, king, and wizard are falling under its influence. Dragon King Bakari, Battlemaster Alli, and High Wizard Roland are now powerful leaders in their own right. Differing missions and responsibilities have separated them; Bakari flies north to find the last Dragon Rider, Alli goes south to find the source of the evil, and Roland, leader of the Citadel, finds himself stuck in the magic stream without his body. The Dragon King and his riders always emerge in times of great need – but will their powers be enough? Or will they succumb to the temptations of evil? Each wizard and Rider will be tested – not all of them will pass.
