About Dragons in Our Midst series

These stories inspires young people to dig deep within to find their God-given strengths and use them to overcome any obstacle. It is both a hair-raising, modern-day adventure and a glimpse into another world a world of knights, dragons, and fair maidens. 

The first book, Raising Dragons, plunged two teenagers, Billy Bannister and Bonnie Silver, into mind-boggling mysteries, life or death pursuits, and deadly sword-to-sword battles. 

The second volume, The Candlestone, a mysterious book leads Billy into mortal combat with a powerful dragon slayer. 

The third volume, Circles of Seven, victory comes at a great cost to Billy Bannister and Bonnie Silver. 

The fourth volume, Tears of a Dragon, a vicious evil has been unleashed on the earth that only the dragons can defeat. With Billy's father, the great Clefspeare, missing, Billy and Bonnie must lead the dragons into war against the Watchers - demonic beings as old as the earth itself. Masters are the art of deception, the Watchers use the deadliest of weapons against humankind.
