Beyond the vast Transylvanian forests of Romania, hidden deep within undiscovered caves of the rugged Carpathian Mountains, are the homes of many of the oldest species of dragons on earth.They have lived for thousands, some even millions, of years in the deepest part of the earth's crust.The oldest of all is wise Lumea, the greatest teacher of young dragons. His newest student, Tanarul, is a mere 200 years old. The two of them are embarking on a world tour to meet and study both the Greater Dragons of history and the tiny Lesser Dragons, all of whom have personal stories to tell about their legendary encounters with humans throughout the centuries.Lumea has very little use for humans and, prefers his entire species remain known as legendary creatures of myth, rather than risk association with that troublesome race. Tanarul has problems being considered a myth, but respectfully follows his teacher's wisdom in the matter.Throughout their global discoveries, Tanarul is introduced to dragons of fame, such as the nine headed Hydra of the Hercules fables; Tiamat, the goddess dragon of Ancient Mesopotamia; Quetzelcoatl, the feathered serpent dragon of the Mayan culture; Cosmina, the granddaughter of the dragon of St. George, the toxic Basilisk; the Bunyip, the bulldog-faced dragon of Australia; the gigantic Behemoth, and dozens more of the most feared creatures of human history. From them, Tanarul is educated in the dragon's point of view and learns the truth about his civil and misunderstood species.But their journey quickly takes a turn toward high adventure as they discover the unstable state of their natural world, caused mainly by humankind's destruction and disregard for the ecology. The polluted oceans and melting icecaps are causing problems for dragons and humans alike. The great dragon Leviathan, who has grown to be the length of Ireland, has begun to stir from his hibernation in the North Pole. His wanderings could destroy the planet. There is only one choice. The League of Dragons must find allies among the humans to save both their races.
The League of Dragons and their human allies are back in Romania, beginning their pursuit of the Dragon-Man Kibo, throughout Europe and the North Seas. He is desperately attacking and draining powers from all the local dragons of ancient fable and must be stopped at all costs.
Lumea sends Tanarul and his African dragon companion, Ayo, to the jungles and mountains of Peru to investigate the emergence of dragons long thought to be extinct. The world is threatened once again as the enormous creatures turn out to be even more ferocious than the dragons of the human myths.Book 5 Introduces us to the earliest form of Dragons, long thought to have been extinct, sharing similar, but less evolved DNA than our heroes. While our familiar Dragon friends have become benevolent yet undiscovered by most of Earth's humans, the primitive Proto-Dragons are proving to be bold and quite dangerous, wreaking havoc everywhere they go. The Human-Dragon alliance has been alerted to the danger and this new adventure has already begun. Unable to understand Dragon language, can this race of Proto-Dragons be stopped? Could this mean certain death to some of our friends? Half a world away from their elders, it's up to three young Dragons to discover if these dangerous creatures can be controlled and a world disaster averted
