Once upon a time and with surprising frequency, dragons kidnapped helpless princesses. As the ultimate romantic gesture, heroic princes fought the dragons and saved the damsels in distress. At least, that's the story you've been led to believe. But here's a little secret: Sometimes the dragon saved the princess from the princes... In the kingdom of Marshwood, everybody lives happily ever after - orphans, stepmothers, everybody. King Wesick is wise and beloved. Queen Mattea is beautiful and kind. Prince Nolan is handsome and brave, and his sister Littagale is smart and talented. But when it comes time for Princess Littagale to marry, suddenly the dragon Tor flies down from Mount Shadow, kidnaps the princess, and flies her to his dark lair. "Oh, no! The horror! Who will save her?” cry the townspeople. With great fanfare and the cologne of testosterone, princes from near and far arrive in Marshwood and vow to rescue the princess – in exchange for the honor of becoming her husband and inheriting the kingdom. The townspeople rejoice, place bets, and everyone waits to see who will defeat Tor and save Princess Littagale. But what secret is Queen Mattea hiding? And why does Tor have a spa in his lair?

Deep within Animal's Kingdom there is a grove of overgrown mushrooms which are inhabited by magical flying creatures. Pixie's Dust has a colony of human like beings that live in unison with the land and wildlife that surrounds their homes. Each fairy has a unique gift that makes them important to their existence. Some can grow fruits, vegetables and even cook better than the others. The story although fully involves the whole colony, focuses on the youngest fairy that has a hard time proving that even at a young age she is important too. Willa, short for Willow, teams up with a near extinct animal who is named Bloom. Bloom is a hutia which is similar to a chipmunk but a little larger. The friendship blossoms and after only a few hours together they feel as though they have a bond that cannot be broken. Something destroys part of the kingdom and the duo teams up with a "Giant Walker" which is a young boy that is part of a tribe. The Eye Stars are a protector of all wildlife but they may have more than they can handle with the evil woman who thinks she should own all the flowers and beauty that Animal Kingdom holds. They have to find a way to convince her that she can enjoy the flowers and exotic plants without killing them. Sharing nature while preserving it is the important lesson she must learn.
