    About this series

    Challenged by the greatest dragon swordsman to a duel, Galen once again finds himself over his head and sinking fast!

    He used Claw, his magical sword, to save the town of Cranbook, and now Galen and Vala are enjoying a little well-earned success for a change. But it seems like tales of his derring-do have exploded far beyond the reality of the story. The greatest dragon swordsman alive wants a piece of Galen, and he's on his way to collect.

    Three days. Galen has just three days to learn to use his sword effectively, or he's dead meat!

    While he's off seeking help from his friends, Vala ends up in trouble of her own. A simple job application takes her down a rabbit hole into-well, she's not quite sure what it is, but the deeper she looks, the greater the risk grows.

    Together these two have faced some tough adversaries. But now they're divided-and about to discover if the strength they've each found within themselves is enough.

      Cast out by dragonkind, threatened by his own family . . . A dragon with nothing left to lose can be a dangerous thing. Unless, of course, that dragon is Galen Stormwing. He's never been very dangerous. He was a failure at school, a failure at gaining powers, and a failure at keeping them. Now his own parents have told him he needs to do something to impress them within three days, or they'll have him executed as an embarrassment to the clan. He does the only sensible thing he can think of. He runs for it. Survival trumps pride, as far as Galen is concerned. Most dragons won't go to Canada, realm of the dwarf people, so that's where he must go. But he's not the only one fighting for survival. Vala is a young dwarf in school to become an engineer when she begins exhibiting magical powers. There's never been a dwarf mage before, and not all her people are thrilled about it. In fact, some of them would rather see Vala dead than allow their race to become polluted in that manner. Both of them are vulnerable, lost, alone-and hunted. But together, they might just have what they need to save each other!

      Magic is a dangerous tool, but uncontrolled magic can be downright deadly. When the theft of a magical artifact goes wrong, its power opens a rift between our world and the Void which surrounds all planes of existence. The black disk threatens to suck our world into the Void, but Magic Managed is on the scene, ready to save the day. Galen and Vala 'manage' this misadventure well enough-at least at first. But then another portal opens. And another. And another . . . The threat didn't end with the first disk's disappearance. If anything, it is only growing. Worse still, these portals won't shut down. Vala's special magic gave her the glimmering of an understanding of the nature of magic itself. But will that knowledge be enough to solve the riddle of these portals? Or will our world be sucked into the Void and lost forever?
