"What mage?" Aheam immediately questioned."Me, what do you want with me?" Ariston whimpered."I have questions!" the red dragon Zaira replied."After we discuss the terms with the Earl, and while Aheam looks for the scepter, you may talk to Ariston in my presence!" Tibalt firmly insisted. Tibalt had heard of the red dragons' deep hatred for mages and he had grown fond of Ariston."Ariston's a mage?" Aheam stated in shock. Ariston had slain a dragon and had performed admirably as a squire for Tibalt, it was turning Aheam's idea of mages upside down. He actually liked Ariston.Having lost his parents at a very young age and having his elder sister ripped away from him by the sinister Dark Mages might make anyone lose hope. But the twelve-year-old Ariston isn't just anyone. Sure living day to day isn't easy, but he and his two best friends, Elina and Faustus, make do. Their courage, perseverance, and loyalty inspire new friendships-honorable men including the Great Knight of Adar and the mage Pilan the All Powerful. Perhaps it is possible to rescue Ariston's sister from the clutches of the Dark Mages. After all great friendships lead to great deeds!

Life has never been normal for young Stephunos. There's his hyper little brother, the fact that he is a young nobleman, a warrior, and a mage. If his best friend, Chara, isn't beating him senseless, his little brother is playing practical jokes on him. Even though he is twelve, he is already the best swordsman around. Well at least in practice, since he has never had to really fight anyone. Stephunos' already unusual life is about to get even stranger, as he and his friend set out on a grand trading adventure. Stephunos and his brother must keep their magical powers hidden, even from their friends, for these are very dangerous times for anyone with such powers. This isn't easy when there is a vampire around and you are being hunted by an evil mage. Then there is a strange island, far to the North, where there are very intelligent dragons, unicorns, and many more mystical creatures waiting to be rediscovered.While Stephunos is away, Stephunos' parents must defend their home county from an invading army, since their Dukes many enemies are attacking!If they can all survive to return home, will there be a home to return to?

Stephunos' adventures continue as settling into the drastically different life the last six months have brought hasn't been easy. Dealing with the pressures of being an Earl, a teacher, and an Ambassador at twelve certainly has a way of complicating things. With the help of his friends, or maybe despite their help, Stephunos is hoping to relax. A tall order when you have an overly hyper younger brother and his cohort Youngblood, a highly intelligent young blue dragon, always stirring up trouble. Still, Stephunos' plans to put the everyday pressures behind as his holiday break arrives. However, a planet where magic radiates everywhere that stands on the verge of clashing with the recently discovered technological universe that has arrived at their door doesn't exactly make for the best place. Cosmin and the Dark Mages, despite defeat after defeat, still live! Secrets still have to be protected! The addition of space travel has opened up the threat of invasion! The vampire Razvan is uneasy, something sinister is afoot! Has the time come for a favor to be asked? Granted?
