Rise of the Dibor by Christopher Hopper

Back Cover: A world untouched by evil and ignorant of temptation is quietly awakened to a wicked influence in its kingdom–one that threatens to destroy all life. At first, any signs of change are subtle, but slowly even creation itself heralds the impending doom that awaits.

Luik, son of Lair, embarks on an epic saga to protect his people and to attempt to keep his world from following the fate of one that has gone before it–earth. What some thought was merely a means to an end, others will believe will be a birth of a legend.

Luik and a brilliant cast of characters join together in this perfect world gone wrong as it becomes the epicenter for a war of historic proportions.

Rise of the Dibor spans issues of friendship, love, and loyalty, and delves into some of the most essential questions of the Christian faith, including humanity’s ability, or complete failure, to resist temptation, and our inevitable need for a Savior.

The story that turned children into warriors, and warriors into heroes.

The Secret of the Swamp King by Jonathan Rogers

Back Cover: Your majesty – I write to warn you: your most dangerous enemy dwells under your roof.  Beware the youngest son of Errol. He has convinced himself that he is the Wilderking of ancient prophecy, and the rightful occupant of the throne at Tambluff.  His every action is calculated to convince your courtiers of the same…he shamelessly claims to be friends with the feechiefolk, part of a scheme to build a legend around himself that is in keeping with the Wilderking Prophecy. Your majesty, it pains me to accuse a fellow Corenwalder of treason. But it pains me more to think that my king would be nurturing a traitor under his own roof. Yours sincerely, A loyal subject”

The Bark of the Bog Owl by Jonathan Rogers

Back Cover: Aidan didn’t quite know what to do. He had been summoned here, yet he felt as if he was interrupting. Suddenly, the white head lurched up. The old man’s big green eyes searched around the room, as if he had heard a voice and was trying figure out where it came from.

When they passed over Aidan, his eyes locked in. They seemed to see more in Aidan than any eyes had ever seen before. The old man spoke. “Hail to the Wilderking…Corenwald’s deliverer.”

The Bones of Makaidos by Bryan Davis

Back Cover: As The Bones of Makaidos begins, a wall of fire protects the inexperienced villagers of Second Eden from a planned invasion of dragons and Nephilim, but how long will the flames last? Billy, Walter, Ashley, Elam, and the faithful dragons help the people prepare, but they are woefully outnumbered and will have to go back to Earth and recruit the humans who have the ability to revert to their former dragon states. In search of aid, Billy escorts Acacia, an Oracle of Fire, through a dangerous volcano portal.

Sapphira, Acacia’s Oracle sister, stays in the underworld with Bonnie and Shiloh, waiting for the signal to emerge and join the battle. With Hades and Earth locked in a catastrophic merging of their two realms, Arramos, evil incarnate, plans to use Bonnie to add Second Eden to the convergence, thereby drawing his forces to Heaven’s Gate, where he hopes to gain access to divine authority.

Arramos has two secret weapons: Sir Devin, the greatest of all dragon slayers, lies in wait to destroy all dragons and their offspring, including Billy and Bonnie; and Mardon, a brilliant scientist, knows the secret to the Oracles’ indestructibility, and he has devised a way to steal it from Acacia, thereby draining her strength. During these preparations, Semiramis, Mardon’s mother, comes to Second Eden and provides Billy with a wealth of information about Arramos’s plans, and with every subsequent challenge, her words are proven true. But can she be trusted?

With mysteries abounding and an ultimate battle looming, every decision could mean the difference between survival and catastrophe, and only a prophesied sacrifice can stop the onslaught of evil. But who will be the sacrificial lamb?

Enoch’s Ghost by Bryan Davis

Back Cover: Walter, Ashley, and Karen ride the dragon Thigocia in search of her son, Gabriel, and her long-lost mate, Makaidos. When Walter and Ashley find an army of giants hibernating in the depths of the earth, they meet a mysterious girl named Sapphira Adi who claims to be thousands of years old. Sapphira reveals a sinister plot, conceived centuries ago by Morgan Le Faye and the devil himself.

The giants awaken and ascend to the Earth, ready to carry out a scheme that threatens the entire cosmos, and only dragons can defeat them. Since two dragons remain on the earth, and one of them is reluctant to fight, doom seems certain. Still, there is hope. In another world, a former dragon awakens to a new existence and learns that a prophesied deliverance requires the death of a willing lamb, and a handicapped little girl who wants to die to end everyone’s suffering, including her own, steps forward as the only candidate for the sacrifice.

The greatest of dangers, building to a climax in three different worlds, meets the power of love and sacrifice in Enoch’s Ghost.
