After learning they’ve inherited property from reclusive grandparents he hardly knew, Steve and Sarah Miller decide to take a few days off to investigate their newfound fortune in the quiet Idaho resort town of Coeur d’Alene. The inheritance turns out to be beyond their wildest dreams, a vast mansion with lovely gardens. While exploring, they discover a unique set of carved doors on the top floor of their new home. Disguised as a simple door, a portal is accidentally activated and Steve and Sarah find themselves staring at the amazing sight of a lush forest beyond. It’s a tantalizing decision: to check it out or to run. Curiosity getting the better of them, they step through, the portal disappears, and they are on a one-way journey to a land where people have strange powers and where mythical creatures abound. Too late, they discover that they are confronted by dragons, griffins, and bugs of nightmarish proportions. To get home they decide to enlist the aid of the local king and queen. Oddly, they are expected at the castle, and it is revealed their arrival had long been foretold by an ancient prophecy which bestows upon them the status of Royal Bodyguards to the young crown prince. Now, they are stuck on a foreign world where danger lurks everywhere, and the newly appointed bodyguards must find a way to return home and to keep the young prince safe.

It's been four years since Steve and Sarah Miller discovered the magical portal to the kingdom of Lentari and took on the role of guardians to the crown prince, Mikal. The now-teenaged prince is adapting well to life in modern-day America, but their peaceful existence is rocked to the core when they are attacked by creatures not of this world, during a vacation trip. And when a second attack happens, they know they must return to Lentari and find out how someone from there has crossed into their world to endanger their lives. Crossing back through the portal, they discover trouble: dragon raids are on the rise; the dwarves are preparing to go to war; and an evil sorceress, Celestia, is the one who has managed to reach across time and space to attack Mikal on his protector's home world. Steve and Sarah’s only hope to save Mikal from Celestia and her minions lies with the recovery of a piece of an ancient talisman, the Amulet of Aria, believed lost centuries ago. Having the ability to enhance the holder's jhorun—their magical talent—to unheard of levels, the amulet pieces must be found before Celestia gains control of the most powerful magic in the kingdom and of Mikal himself.

The peaceful kingdom of Lentari is rocked by the disappearances of several citizens, and when the latest—a young girl—vanishes, the king dispatches his top aides to find out what’s happening. Piecing together the clues, they ride to a lush forest near the seaside town of Capily where they come across an odd disturbance in the undergrowth. A few tests, and it’s evident the anomaly is a portal of some sort, and the consensus is that they will need the strongest teleporter known to the kingdom in order to solve the mystery of where the portal leads and how it has taken the missing villagers. The only teleporter with this much power is Lady Sarah, the human with the needed jhorun to possibly save them. Sarah and her husband Steve transport to Lentari from their home in America, and as she is studying the odd new portal the unthinkable happens. Lady Sarah is pulled into the portal and vanishes! Steve is frantic, and although he has no idea where she has gone or how he will find her, he jumps through the portal to save his cherished wife. What happens next defies all the known laws of how portals work, as this one sends them to another world—and in another time! Will they find any trace of the missing villagers? And more importantly, will they find each other? Newly edited and re-released! * * * Praise for Jeffrey Poole’s epic fantasy novels: “I loved this book. It had so much imagination to it.

Nearly a year has passed since Steve and Sarah Miller discovered Lentari through a magical portal in their own home in Idaho. Mikal, the young Lentarian crown prince, is happy, healthy, and adapting well to living in modern America with his bodyguards. However, their peace is soon shattered when Steve gets a frightening message—the queen has been kidnapped and their help is needed! They leave Prince Mikal safe and secure in Coeur d’Alene with Annie, Sarah’s sister, and Tristan, his tutor. But, as kids will do, Mikal sneaks through the portal to try to help, and his presence in Lentari becomes known. And it’s the crown prince who is the real target of the Lentarian king’s enemies. Rescuing the queen, battling thieving invaders, outsmarting repulsive trolls, and trying to stay one step ahead of someone who is bent on acquiring Mikal at all costs, Steve and Sarah must use all the powers at their disposal to keep their young charge safe. Teaming up with Rhenyon, the captain of the king’s guards, they set out, little knowing they will encounter trolls, griffins, and an evil wizard who is intent on stealing their special powers. Infiltrating the wizard’s lair is not for the faint of heart, and the couple find themselves in the midst of more action than they bargained for in the magical kingdom of Lentari.

Steve and Sarah Miller receive an urgent message from Lentari, the land they call their second home, the magical place of dragons and wizards, the land where they became, for a time, guardians to the crown prince. When both of them have the same unsettling dream, a vision that something bad is happening in Lentari, they go—without a second thought. They learn a terrible sickness is consuming the dragon population, affecting their powers, starving them, killing them. Steve and Sarah arrive with two goals: help the dragons find the source of the ailment, and don’t tell the king they suspect it’s a curse or spell of some kind. Pryllan is distressed to learn that her mate, Kahvel, has fallen under the awful spell. Will she be next? Will their young dragonlet child succumb to it? It’s up to Steve and Sarah to travel the land with Pryllan and follow the clues, and then to conquer the evil source before the illness decimates all the dragons of Lentari.

The king and queen are two people the Millers have never heard of, and the entire kingdom is not prospering as it once did. As more and more mysteries unfold, the terrifying truth occurs to them. Someone has altered the past in order to change the present. And Steve and Sarah have a pretty good idea who that is.
