The invading pirates from Perz have set their sights on a new goal in Lentari, capturing the dwarven Narian Power Hammer, which promises supreme physical strength and longevity to its owner. But trekking through the enormous underground cavern system that the dwarves call home does not come naturally to men of the sea, and Captain Flinn has his hands full, keeping his crew in line as they search for the elusive magical hammer. Flinn has one thing going for him, the Alchos Stone, which can make his men, his ship and himself invisible. The thing that will work against him, however, is that he’s being tracked by Steve and Sarah Miller and their Lentarian allies, the dragons. Can the Millers catch up with Flinn and his men before they find the Hammer, create massive destruction, and escape? And can they retrieve the powerful Fang of the Red Oskorlisk, which Flinn has already stolen, the talisman that gives the dragons their power, before the pirates break away and take to the sea again?

Transport yourself into the magical kingdom of Lentari, along with Steve and Sarah Miller (introduced in The Bakkian Chronicles), a world of kings and princes, dragons, dwarves, and all sorts of mythical creatures. Book 1 – Lost City Lukas, a young dwarf, narrowly averts tragedy while attending a class by the master craftsman Maelnar, falling into the forge’s fire. Amazingly, he comes away from the near miss with only a mark on his back. The mark is not quite a burn. But it is disfiguring and embarrassing to the family, and it’s not fading away, so his father, Venk, takes young Lukas to consult the most respected wizard in the kingdom. They learn this mysterious mark is part of a Questor’s Mark, a sort of roadmap to an adventure that had long been the dream of many—to find the Lost City of Nar. Book 2 – Something Wyverian This Way Comes 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. Book 3 – A Portal For Your Thoughts 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!
