The only whisper of hope seems to come from the shadows of far away Dimmingwood. But can Rideon reach that haven, protect his young brother, and dodge all foes until his day of vengeance comes? Or will the traitors, thieves, and magickers surrounding him finish the deadly work his enemies began?

I lost everything when the Ninth Isle sank. My home, my family and the only life I ever knew. For generations my people, the dragonkind, proudly shared our island with dragons, defending the fierce beasts and soaring the skies alongside them. Now catastrophe has struck. Corthium lies beneath the sea, the mighty dragons are nearly extinct and, overnight, I have become the last of my race. But a glimmer of hope remains. There is still a chance I can restore the legacy of the dragonkind and return dragons to the world again. My mission is a dangerous one. With the help of my newly bonded dragon and my unpredictable companion, Basil, I must outwit scheming pirates and brave stormy seas in search of a new Sheltering Stone. Haunted islands, an elusive maker of magical maps, and a ruthless fleet of Gold Ship Voyagers lie ahead. Worse, the cunning pirate, Captain Ulysses, is determined to cripple my magic powers and steal them for a dark purpose. With time running out and the forces of my enemies assembled against me, only one thing is certain. My epic quest has begun.

In my dreams I see it all again. The Sheltering Stone failing. My people dying. The Ninth Isle being sucked down into the sea. Ever since the day I inadvertently doomed my home island it has fallen to me, the last of the dragonkind, to protect the legacy of my fierce race. With my bonded dragon, I recently set out on a desperate quest to find a magical mountain of legend—a hidden place that may not even exist. But my magic powers have since been weakened and my dragon has been stolen away by Gold Ship Voyagers. The only one who could have pointed the way to the mountain, a mysteriously gifted mapmaker, is now dead. My one hope is to rescue the mapmaker’s young apprentice, a boy with the powers to finish what his master began, from the clutches of the Gold Ship Voyagers. More than cursed seas and bloodthirsty pirates stand in my way. The dark forces of an ancient and vengeful being are set against me. Will my companion, Basil, and I survive long enough to reclaim what is ours? Or will the battle that lies ahead be our last?

Discovered. Destroyed. Reborn. After losing his brother and being murdered by his enemies, Rideon thought there was nothing left that could hurt him. But he soon discovers life only gets more dangerous after death. Restored by magic, he must trek through a hostile wilderness while stalked by a deranged wild man. His only possessions, a cursed bow and a powerful amulet, prove as treacherous as they are necessary. Driven by the need to find his young brother before their enemies reach the boy first, Rideon must enter dangerous territory and risk the wrath of the ruthless thieves’ guild and its cunning king.

When Rideon’s scheme to rescue his brother goes horribly wrong, he forms a new plan—one that turns former allies into foes. Rebelling against the rule of the cunning thief king, he steals the dreaded Thief’s Blade and leads a dangerous faction of the guild on a new mission. But the past isn’t done with Rideon. A new opportunity for vengeance beckons. After the ambitious son of a noble offers a tempting deal, a deadly bargain is struck, leading Rideon down a treacherous path. Can he resist the call of darkness, control the magic of his cursed amulet, and hold together his growing band of followers? Or will one final gamble bring about the end of Rideon the Red Hand?

George Green has written a number of children’s books, all of which have character-building messages for young children. Patience is certainly a virtue most young children need to learn. Come Christmas, Easter, Birthdays and other special days, it can be difficult for parents to keep surprises from them! George wrote this book with the hope that it would show young kids how important being patient really is, and that the benefits can sure outweigh the often tedious wait. The best example - of course - is Charlie, the caterpillar who could not wait to become a butterfly! When Charlie first crawls out of his egg, all he wants to do is be a butterfly. While most butterflies know how long it takes to change from a caterpillar into a butterfly, Charlie was not born with this patience! But, as he eats and grows and eats and grows, his mother reminds him that he does have this important skill, the bottom-line of which is that all good things come to those who wait!

Eddie the Elephant who Lost his Trunk is the fifteenth book that George has written for children. Like with all of his other stories, this one tells of an animal who has something taken from him, leaving him with a disability. Eddie is left angry at the one who took his trunk. But with help and love from his friends and family, and the decision to understand the ways of alligators, he is able to live a long and happy life, free from anger and resentment. His story shows us that we can rely on those we love, and that choosing to understand our enemies can bring some relief to the heart.
