In the land of Enchantria, there is an ancient prophecy handed down by the imperial wizard eons ago and passed down from generation to generation. The prophecy states that, during an age of darkness in a year of a constant moon, to a mortal woman who is queen and a mortal man who is king will be born an enchanted boy child. This child, himself destined one day to be king, will have the power to bring light to all creatures great and small. He will right the wrongs done in the name of evil, he will restore the land to its earthly form, and he will forever drive the darkness from the hearts and souls of all beings. Six beings, all born on the same day but to different lives, have their futures inexplicably and inexorably connected to serve the prophecy. Two princesses, one the golden-haired daughter of a good king and queen, and the other the raven-haired daughter of a witch-queen bent on revenge and power. Two half-bloods, both exiled from the tribes of their parents, find each other and form a lifetime bond of friendship and alliance, pledging to protect the child princess. And, finally, two mortal enemies born in the deepest reaches of the dark forest, one half-animal/half-man with only death and suffering in its heart, and the other a member of the gifted tribe, whose abilities will mean the balance of power between the powers of light and darkness. As they grow, their lives are all set upon the same pathto locate and obtain a magical device of unspeakable power, the diamond scepter. It is said that the scepter can make a weak enchanter strong and make a strong enchanter invincible, but legend has it that the scepter also controls the mythical Iron Army, an undefeatable army of indestructible soldiers. Both sides want the scepterthe agents of the light want it returned to its rightful place in the Crystal City, but the agents of the darkness want its power to destroy the light and rule of Enchantria.

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!

The fantasy kingdom of Lentari (introduced in Jeffrey Poole’s Bakkian Chronicles series) comes to life once again, in this acclaimed series. 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. Tales abound about the riches of Nar and the unsurpassed skills of that dwarven community, but no one has been there and no Narians seem to have survived. What happened? And how will Venk and the search party find the series of additional clues in order to complete the map? For completing the quest is the only way young Lukas will be free of the awful mark, and the only way his people will learn the answers to the age-old questions. Lost City has been newly edited and re-released! * * * Praise for Jeffrey Poole’s epic fantasy novels: “I loved this book. It had so much imagination to it. Great for young and old.” - D.
