D Kane

Fifth Dragon - Cumulos Capers D Kane

Magic can be fun unless, of course, you haven't got a clue how to use it. When a levitation spell goes calamitously wrong, Raven meets a young man who makes her heart go pitter-patter. Turns out her Prince Charming is actually a prince - and quite charming.

They find Cumulos Castle which floats in a cloud high above the earth. There they encounter a Scots mage, a Transylvanian witch, and . . . a purple creature with the disposition of a honey badger. There's a ten-inch pixie with a crush on the prince and an ebullient dragon. Giant, magic-sucking spyders, dark ghosts, and trolls infest her new world and sometimes Raven yearns for the peace and quiet of Denver - almost. Enter Valgren, a gorgeous and mysterious Rider of Gaia who takes an interest in Raven - and not just in her magical skills.

This series is for those of us who still enjoy a fun fantasy romp through the delightful world of magic reminiscent of childhood - but all grown up.
