Daniel Sage, a farm boy from Thira, had only heard of dragons in stories told by his father. Most people in his world believe that dragons, as well as their riders, were cruel and uncaring. Then, one night, he unwittingly hatches one of the majestic creatures in his bedroom. Soon he is on a quest like none before as he befriends nymphs, rulers, warriors, and dragons while fighting an evil queen who will stop at nothing to gain control. Will Daniel be strong enough to fight all odds and become one of the greatest warriors his world has ever seen?

"One year ago, the person Olivia adores most in the world, her father, left home for a meditation retreat in the mountains and never returned. Yearning to make sense of his shocking departure and to escape her overbearing mother, a woman as grounded as her father is mercurial, Olivia runs away from home and retraces his path to a place known as the Levitation Center. Once there, she enrolls in their summer program for troubled teens, which Olivia refers to as 'Buddhist Boot Camp for Bad Girls.' Soon, she finds herself drawn into the company of a close-knit trio of girls determined to transcend their circumstances, by any means necessary. Led by the elusive and beautiful Serena, and her aloof, secretive acolytes, Janet and Laurel, the girls decide this is the summer they will finally achieve enlightenment, and learn to levitate, to defy the weight of their bodies, to experience ultimate lightness."-- Publisher's description
