But Dr. St. George isn’t in his office at the college, and all of his stuff is gone! Jesse, Daisy, and Emmy quickly discover St. George’s latest evil plan: to take over the forest and find the magic golden ax that is buried there. To make matters worse, he has also enslaved the mythical beings that are returning to Goldmine City.

The Great Viator, an explorer of the Milky Way galaxy is forced to flee his dying planet Yawnogard, and must select a safe place for his family, friends and dragons to begin anew. When the planet Earth is chosen as their safe-haven, a living crystal entity creates a space portal to transport them to Earth. Even though they find Earth’s inhabitants hostile to their presence, they choose to remain. Some go into hiding, while others assume roles within the population to determine a time that they may come forth and be accepted. Today, 900 years later, on an early summer morning in a small Pennsylvania town, teen brothers, John and Ian, unwittingly unleash The Great Viator’s personal dragon from its cave confinement. The dragon’s release initiates an exciting series of events, including: the discovery of The Great Viator’s real identity, an encounter with a determined government agent and the emergence of special latent powers upon the brothers who train to become dragon-riders. Once trained, the boys return to Yawnogard with The Great Viator to battle a powerful evil wizard. Here they meet a sentient crystal entity that is older than the universe itself, and discover they have a unique heritage on Yawnogard.
