description: Writing this book has been an exciting experience for me. I was an accountant all my life and it is rather dull. I wanted to do something fun and one day I just started writing. I had my main antagonist since I was 10 years old and always wanted to write my book. The dragons in my book were inspired by my two children and both of them loved dragons. I have four books in this series written already and the story keeps evolving. I have surprised myself with how creative I was in writing this book.  I have felt displaced in modern life myself as I always thought I should have been born in the plantation days so I could wear the elegant dresses of that time. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it.

  Old King Jon was a good and just king who had done much for his land, but he had enemies.
  Draconia was rich in natural resources and its neighbors were not nearly as peaceful as the
