Prophecy said that when the lords came down from the mountains, there would be strife and unrest in the world. Lord Darak, after sixteen years, was about to meet his grown son whom he had left as a baby with the mountain dwarves to raise. All the while, he has been sitting atop the mountain, guarding his son from the evil mage Zandrax and Queen Adrianna. King Halvard, knowing there was unrest in the world, sent out spies to find out what was going on. As Lord Darak and Daiuis travel from place to place, they seemed to have a knack gathering up allies: Dariuss dwarven companion, Flagg; the moody Prince Kalan of the elves and his brothers, Thon and Holin; the nimble spy called Silk; and a questionable lad named Fel. And they all go to see the king. What tales do they have to tell King Halvard?
Zandrax had found himself a cave to hide in, safe from dragon detection where he can practice his new magicmagic that dragons cannot detect. What does he plan on doing with it? Only the Gods know. Charidan is the High King; his father is dead. His entire mission in life is to place castles in the new lands that are opening up and seeing that kings are placed in them. Since he is busy in the Holy of Holies atop the Pelingre castle roof, he brings in his son, Bragan, to rule the kingdom. Bragan finds a unique way to control the noisy crowds that must see him to settle disputes and anything else that comes up. No matter where problems creep up, his three unclesDarton, Waldon, and Jovianalong with Adric and Leander, always turn up for him to settle it. Dragonriders are still being killed by hired assassins, hired by Zandrax. Drastic measures must be used to get rid of those assassins. However, it is important to get the twenty-two carefully selected overkings and queens in place in the new kingdoms. And they need colonists, and it has to be done without assassins. This is the new heritage of all the people in the Lands of Remgeldon. Zandrax has to be defeated. How? Can Lord Dariuss twins do it? And what will be the drastic results?
The Springtime Murder Case Gib Stranton finally messes up. He murdered two people in the parking lot of the Nelson Ledges State Park. But he has disappeared. FBI undercover agents swear they have seen someone who looks like Gib, maybe. On the other hand, Gib is a well-known man. Hes a county truck driver, a snowplow truck driver, a known speaker in many schools on driving for the three neighboring counties to Portage County. Respected man. How can he be a killer too? Gideon wonders if anybody believes the reports. But Gib isnt the only manhunt. Someone is dealing drugs to kids in the county schools. Police and agents want to catch them at it, and the agents think Gib might also be a part of it. Detective Gideon Granger is called out on murder cases. Is Gib still killing women, or is someone else involved, and able to hide out as well as Gib Stranton? Who is behind the drug problem? Is it the Doctor, the Lawyer, or the Garage Manager? Or all three? Will Sara Jane become more than Gideons partner? Will Jarry Faldare get up the nerve to pop the question to Maryne? Whats Earlles surprise? Are Marietta and her daughters safe? Can they be kept safe? Whos that Deputy hanging around Marietta? Whats he up to?
The Lands of Remgeldon For three years, Zandrax had been cooped up at Dakes. He had to see and hear what was going on. In that time, he heard Halvards army was about to fall upon Dakes. He would be discovered. When returning to Dakes, he set about preparing to take the ship out, planning to leave Adrianna at Dakes and leaving those twin brats behind. But she was an adept spy and learned of his preparation and wasnt about to be left behind. Zandrax also heard about the many dragons, nearly a thousand. They had only been breeding for eight years. He needed to go somewhere where there were no dragons. He had also heard that people were speculating about other lands all around them. There was the Isle of the Dragons. Why not other islands? When Dakes was taken by the army, they learned that Zandrax had taken a ship out of Dakes and was headed east. Now they had to find out where he went. The search was begun anew. This time Dragonriders led the way across the oceans to new lands. Not only was there a massive search for Zandrax underway but a massive exploration started. Search and exploration became one. Major leaders Thon and Holin Silver were in lands named Keloria and Eberlee; Bragan Pelingre and Sladan Silver went to the land they named Heartland; Waldon Graystone opened an island off his coast of Drude then went on to see if there was more land. Others took over exploration led by Kalan Silver, the First Dragon Lord. The hunt for Zandrax was begun.
Isle of the Dragons Where once there was only one golden dragon, now there are twelve golden queen dragons. Only half are old enough to mate, but over five years they created a covey of nearly two hundred dragons. That was enough to have a dozen squadron leaders. The war at Thanos is over, thank all the Gods, but the war at Wylche is heating up. Dragons, taller than a horse, with sharp teeth and breathing fire, are used to scare the southern army men into running. But skirmishes happen; men are killed, injured, and laid up for a time. There is a prophecy come down from the Seven Gods that Zandrax will do something drastic to cause the Wylche Royal Castle to crumble, raise a mountain, and the Gods will use it to create a new Royal Castle atop the mountain for the new Dragon Lord. Prince Leander fears his father will die and that new Dragon Lord will be him. How will Zandrax pull down a castle the Seven Gods installed eons ago? Close to the end of the war King Philipi disappeared. Where? Royal Castle? Will Zandrax appear there? Can Philipi shoot him full of his tiny poison darts from his mini crossbow? Will he have the strength? And what will Zandrax do next? And will his flying horse (Grogan, the shape-changing demon) carry him? Deliver him safely? Or dump him? Will Zandrax be able to carry out his evil diabolical plot?
The High King decided to call their world Remgeldon. North Remgeldon would be called the Kingdom of Thanos. South Remgeldon would henceforth be known as the Kingdom of Sarlon. Fourteen other kingdoms would be named over the next few years. Exploration became a big event. A council was chosen to decide who would be the Dragon Lord Overkings of those fourteen kingdoms. Named as council members were five Dragon Lords led by Lord Kalan, Leander, Adric, Darton, Waldon, Jovian, and Bragan, who was expected to one day become a Dragon Lord. No one wanted to think about Zandrax. He had departed Eberlee on the heels of his demon Karmac being caught and devoured by dragons. No one knew where he had gone or where to search. It was thought he might head to Newland. The search was on again, and Zandrax seemed always ahead of them and gone. Dragon riders wonder what disastrous mischief the evil mage would dream up next. Zandrax still had two demons he had dredged up from the DeepGrogan, the shape-changer and the siren, Whoron. They discovered the mischief when dragon riders were killed. Killing a rider killed a dragon. How could dragon riders stop Zandrax from hiring disgruntled southern soldiers to kill riders?
All evidence points to Gib Stranton as the murderer, but no hard evidence can be found. Gib has been very careful over the years. However, it has been proven he murdered two people and left them on the ground at the Nelson Ledges State Park. Hes gone into hiding. Thirty Sheriffs departments in Portage, Trumbull, Mahoning, and Geauga Counties are looking for the man. Several FBI men are searching for the man. But Gib is good at disguisessecret stashes of cars and trucks, homes, apartments, and aliases keep him hidden. Gib still manages to slip out and kidnap a woman, rape, and kill her. Police set up stakeouts, but he never goes where theyre waiting for him. Is someone helping him? With FBIs undercover man Detective Gideon Granger thinking Gib will go after his ex-wife, family members agree to guard her day and night. Gideon thinks that is the only way he will capture the man. Can he? In all that is happening, attorney for the family, Karrell Faldare, is working to get funds out of Harold Strangons estate before Gib absconds with it all, for Harolds daughters, twins Jean and Jeri and Meara and Nell. Karrell is also hunting for more elusive funds for Maryne from her ex-husband, Phil Montel. Both men were multibillionaires. Montel used a lot of false names. Can the hired detective in California discover where those funds are stashed?
Its the Fourth of July, time for fun, games, parades, and fireworksnot murder. The rapist and murderer was dead. There was peace in four counties. No one expected murder to take place in the center of town in Garrettsville after the parade. The whole police department was in the center of town, taking part in one way or another in the paradeeither in it or directing traffic. It was a big event. They were celebrating 200 years. There was a carnival in town, lawn sales, stalls set up on Main Street, six Meals on Wheels vans all over town. There were old cars on display, horseback rides, Amish buggy rides, and golf cart rides, wagon rides for those who couldnt do a lot of walking. Then a shot rang out. Detective Gideon Granger hurried to the scene, but already his policemen were at the scene. CSI teams had to be called in from Ravenna PD. Four people had been killed. It was going to be a long four days if the investigation lasted longer than the four-day holiday. People from four or five different states were in for this shindig. If Gideon didnt catch the killer in those four days, these people would scatter twelve dozen different directions. It was time to call in the help of the Faldare Riders, who had been so helpful in Gideons last murder case.
The Heirs of Remgeldon The southern half of northern Remgeldon, Thanos to Dakes, is to be searched for Lord Dariuss missing twins. At the same time, some of the provinces of southern Remgeldon, Pitzar, Drude, and Hogue are to be searched for the missing twins, and Dragon Lord Castles are founded and established by Darton, Waldon, and Adric these three years of 1559 through 1561. All old castles and all tall buildings that have deep basements are to be searched by the armies of General Mallan in the north and General Darvan and General Leland in the south. It naturally leads to some trouble, and it seems that Darton, Waldon, and Adric sure know how to find trouble. But will Zandrax and Adrianna be found? Will the twins be found? Can they be saved from whatever Zandrax, an evil mage, has planned for them? What of the black-haired elves? Darton comes upon a bunch of them. He thought they were all supposedly killed during the war to take over Thanos? Then there is Waldons old enemy, Casterson. What is he cooking up to make trouble for Waldon? And Waldon naturally has to call in his younger brother, Jovian, and his nephew, Bragan, to help but with what? Nothing but trouble awaits those four southern kings and Bragan and the dragon riders in that southern kingdom. Dragon riders are, after all, trained fighters.
Its war. Zandrax wants to rule the world from King Halvards throne within the Holy City of Thanos. Seventy thousand men are marching toward Thanos, with a supply train five miles long. They can only march as fast as the train can travel. However, King Halvard only has less than twenty thousand in his army. How can they win? But what is the prince of thieves and Lady Felayna doing? Is that love or war? And how about Prince Kalan and Princess Altina? Neither Lord Darak nor King Halvard seem able to put the pairs together no matter how hard they try. Then the three mages from Wylche manage to dump the broken and battered body of Prince Qarvon into the hall at the Holy Castle at Thanos, reminding everyone that there really is a war going on. But it will take a miracle to heal thepPrinces body and hope he will live to walk again. All the while, Zandraxs army is marching up the Kings Highway to Thanos, as snipers from Thanos ride down to snipe at the edges of that army, hoping to reduce it to a manageable number that more closely matches the number of the High Kings army. Its war! With surprising goings on around the city of Thanos. What is King Halvard thinking of? Destroying his own city? For what purpose?
The war at Thanos is over, but Princess Dariella has been captured. Can Lord Darius and two dragons find her in time? Because of the lightning strike at Thanos, set off by Zandrax, half of King Halvards army has been killed. Half the population left at Thanos has been killed. Where did Zandrax run to after that dastardly blast? King Raymon of Heun is having serious trouble with his half-brother Gerald, who is his advisor. Should Raymon send his wife-beating brother away, dissolve his marriage, or is there an alternative? Spies are sent out to determine how much of the southern army is still in the northern realm. Can Slade and Janatar quietly spy out the southern territory and stay out of trouble? And in these troubled times, can Jandal and Felyana find happiness? Can Kalan and Altina really be in love? And what of Lord Darius and Dariella? Will they or wont they fall in love? How can only eighteen dragons help the war effort? King Halvard has the Seven Gods on his side, plus Lord Darak and his son, Lord Darius. And now the dragons. Zandrax has called up three demons from the Deep: Grogan, the shape-shifter; Karmac, the shade or shadow; and Whoron, the siren enticer. Will he too want a dragon? And where would he get one?
