The wedding of the Princess and Starshiner is at hand, and once again our hero [THAT YOU NAME] and his friends must go into the mountain in order to find the chests filled with visions of unfulfilled dreams and retrieve just one. It is a dream that can change the Kingdom forever. Once that has been accomplished (which is no easy task) he must get permission to go into the town near the palace. Danger lurks in the form of the Sheriff, himself. This dream, this wonderful dream, cannot be fulfilled if the Sheriff has his way. Our hero, his friends and new friends will have to be cautious, sly and fearless. Be with him as he, once again, faces many dangers and lots of excitement; and has some fun as well.

Someday he will retire from the sea and is looking for a good place to live in retirement. He has a wonderful dream. He has had this dream for many, many years and yet is still unfulfilled. **** learns of Sinksalot's dream while visiting some friends and gets very excited about it. He meets Sinksalot in the town square and before long a new adventure is in the making. This adventure is like no other **** has experienced. He must endure situations with a huge reptile, the big cats, deep water, powerful explosions and more. Our hero will have to deal with dangers that he cannot possibly imagine. One of these dangers includes a marvelous new boat. A boat like no other that is known. All that, plus adding his part in saving the neighboring Emperor's throne from being taken away by a greedy and evil thinking Baron, makes for a really good adventure. There are many new and colorful characters. Just as in the two previous books in the series, this book has many words that may be new to the younger reader. They are in bold print and are explained in the glossary at the end of the story. Text boxed "life lessons" are written throughout the story too. WHAT WILL YOUR NAME FOR **** BE? Happy hours of enjoyable reading are just ahead.

For this adventure, **** [the young hero that YOU must name], will leave his beloved valley to help his friend realize his dream of being a Captain of a sea going vessel. At the last minute Sinksalot needs a cabin boy for his voyage to trade, buy, and sell goods. **** excitedly signs up but has no idea how much this voyage will change him. Blistered hands, on board intrigue, wicked storm, duty as a lookout are but a few life changing situations. Then there is bad news when the ship is smashed on the rocks, and he is forced to try and save an entire town by facing The Black Dragons of Voractovia. There is only one way to be rid of these demon beasts. The golden/orange/red RA-JAY-SON-WA has saved the village long ago, but how can they get him to help now. If the defender dragon cannot be found, then all, and I mean ALL, hope is lost.

What if everything that you thought of as being real wasnt? Could you live knowing that your life isnt what youve expected it should be like? Well, imagine a world in which all that is so. The world of Granod is a very different place from what it once was. The Great Blue Dragon created the world about two thousand years ago, where animals of any kind could roam freely among humans, elves, and other races. However, when the Dragon Lord was tricked and taken from the ideal place he has called home, all rights and rules that had been associated with freedom instantly vanished. Now, women were the rulers, and men were nothing but slaves. It was a life style that was known to all until David, a seventeen-year-old slave, decided that wasnt the life he could stand anymore. Upon packing whatever belongings he had, including his pet red dragon, David fled from everything he knew was unjust. Then, meeting a woman named Julia, who appeared nothing like any other woman David had ever known, it was decided that the only way to get him out of danger was to partake in the adventure that was called upon by the mayor. The mayor proclaimed, Find the eight dragon jewels that will bring our Lord back to this world and receive money and fame. Sounds simple, right? Wrong. Through finding clues along the way, discovering a love that would not fade, and meeting new people, including Julias cousin, Kat, weapon smith, Raven, Kats friend, John, a mysterious witch, Tashe, and many more, it is hard to differentiate who can be trusted to come along on this quest. However, they, for now, must learn to cooperate if the jewels, as well as mans freedom, have any chance of being rediscovered.
