Cody Carpenter never desired to dwell in a land where walking and talking are prohibited; sleeping and eating are neither required nor desired, and night comes but darkness doesn’t.
Cody is quite content to remain in Betugonna Missit, a quaint town few people have ever wanted to visit. Then, a most unfortunate event occurs and a disappearing draft notice appears. Suddenly Cody is required to report to a world that most people have never believed existed.
At an almost abandoned academy, dueling directions, water-walking tournaments and a hero’s destiny awaits Cody, but so does a brush with death that reminds him: he has already died.
Tom has been an orphan all of his life. Bouncing from orphanage to orphanage, somehow never landing in a foster home, Tom was getting sick and tired of never having a place to call home. His luck seems to have changed for the better, though, on the day that a mysterious man shows up to take care of Tom, Tom was ecstatic–at first. He quickly learned that this man was not what he seemed. The man, with the help of the orphanage bully, transformed into dragons and attempted to take Tom away from the closest thing he’d ever had to a home. Before the man could take Tom away from Earth, a portal opened, and a teen showed up to rescue Tom. Barely making it out with their lives, the teen introduced himself as Kyle and revealed to Tom that Tom was a dragon. Tom, reeling from this news, initially took some time to adjust to his new almost- dragon life. After a shapeshift attempt and some minor training from the Dragon Keepers, Tom and the Dragon Keeper Cierra tried to steal back the only magical relic that can turn Tom into his true dragon form. But this dragon form was not what Tom expected. Before he could adjust to his new life, Kios attacked the Dragon Keepers’ home. Tom and the Dragon Keepers fought for their home and won, but they had to come to terms with the devastating betrayal that followed their victory. At least Tom–now Tognar–finally had a family and a place to call home.

After fighting (and miraculously winning against) her evil vice principal-turned-dragon, Kira learned that she, too, was a dragon. Kira, now going by her dragon’s name Kirvam, reentered her homeland of Cypuric, land of the dragons, and united with the Dragon Keepers in order to save Cypuric from the insidious clutches of the dragon Kios.
