The Dragon Birthmark: World in the Shadows

Eleven year-old, Giovani, was feeling smothered by his three younger sisters and was bored with ordinary life. His only escape was to journey into imaginary adventures, while longing for real companionship away from all things frilly. He would imagine fighting epic battles with mythical creatures, saving ships from pirates, and discovering lands beyond this world to escape his sisters.

On his twelfth birthday, his eccentric Aunt, bestowed upon him a mysterious gift that she thought he was finally old enough to handle. Little did he know what adventures awaited him and what strange friends he would make. It changed his life forever. Immediately he was thrust into a curious world that had always been there in the shadows, protecting him, so that one day he might help protect them. For over one thousand years, Giovani’s bloodline had been part of an elite order that had fought against evil, and now, ready or not; it was his turn to carry on the family traditions.

Giovani’s new reality, filled with heart-stopping adventures with dragons, elves, and magic, awaited his arrival. Evil forces have already killed many innocent people and threatened his family’s existence. The Order needed his help. His family needed his help. It was his birthright, his duty, but he could not do it alone. How would he handle this new found responsibility and quest he had been longing for? Would he rise to the challenge or sink back into the ordinary?
