Book Description
Opportunity knocks on the humblest of doors. But it knocks only once. When an overheard conversation leads to a hunt for a long-forgotten pirate’s treasure in the sunny tropics, Herbert can’t believe his luck. With shipmates including the charming if somewhat feline-featured Katie, a suave and dapper captain, and a hyper-competent crew, such an opportunity seems too good to be true. And we all know how that usually turns out. He soon discovers that said adventure vacation of a lifetime comes with minor downsides, such as being hunted by giant sea monsters. Including an alluring—if somewhat bloodthirsty—mermaid. Additionally, the term ‘lifetime’ refers to a significantly shorter time-frame than he envisioned. Set sail on the high seas of Arvia! (Must supply own cutlass.) A stand-alone novella for adult or young adult readers.

In a world a reflection of our own, dragons once lived in a land known to history as Atlantis, until they died fighting in a great war that destroyed the ancient city. But the ghosts of the dragons returned, and the surviving Atlantians, along with the children of the humans they bred with, discovered the dragon-ghosts could use their strength to transmute wood into something hard as steel, ignite fires, heal torn flesh, and many other things as well.

Dragons were grudgingly becoming accepted, and a young Dragon named Tomas Rios is living a quiet life in his foster-grandfather's apothecary shoppe, known throughout St. Augustine and beyond as a healer and nothing more. But his quiet life is about to be turned upside down. For the ancient evil that brought down Atlantis is stirring once again...
