Beyond the vast Transylvanian forests of Romania, hidden deep within undiscovered caves of the rugged Carpathian Mountains, are the homes of many of the oldest species of Dragons on earth. They have lived there thousands, some even millions of years. One the oldest of all is wise Lumea, the greatest teacher of young Dragons. His newest student, Tanarul, is a mere 200 years old and the two of them are embarking on a world tour to meet and study both the Greater Dragons of history and the tiny Lesser Dragons, all of whom have personal stories to tell about their legendary encounters with humans throughout the centuries.
Lumea has very little use for humans and prefers his entire species remain known as legendary creatures of myth rather than risk association with that troublesome race. Tanarul has problems being considered a myth, but respectfully follows his teacher’s wisdom in the matter.
Throughout their global discoveries, Tanarul is introduced to Dragons of fame, such as the nine headed Hydra of the Hercules fables, Tiamat, the goddess dragon of Ancient Mesopotamia, Quetzelcoatl, the feathered serpent dragon of the Mayan culture, Cosmina, the granddaughter of the dragon of St. George, the toxic Basilisk, the Bunyip, the bulldog-faced dragon of Australia, the gigantic Behemoth and dozens more of the most feared creatures of human history. From them, Tanarul is educated in the dragon’s point of view and learns the truth about his civil and misunderstood species.
But their journey quickly takes a turn toward high adventure as they discover the unstable state of their natural world, caused mainly by humankind’s destruction and disregard for the ecology. The polluted oceans and melting icecaps are causing problems for Dragons and humans alike. The great dragon Leviathan, who has grown to be the length of Ireland has begun to stir from his hibernation in the North Pole. His wanderings could destroy the planet. There is only one choice. The League of Dragons must find allies among the humans to save both their races.
During a world journey of discovery, the elder Dragon, Lumea, and his young student, Tanarul, meet and hear the stories of dozens of historically famous Dragons who tell their sides of the old myths. Their travels take a dangerous detour, however as they realize they must form an alliance with their old adversaries, the humans, to save the world from certain destruction.
Lumea and Tanarul, alongside both the League of Dragons and their human allies, race against time to find a solution to the Leviathan dilemma, as they seek the guidance of the Kraken, the Loch Ness monster and legendary creatures of the sea. They must find a way to communicate with a monster the length of Ireland.
Lumea and Tanarul are summoned to Africa to answer a distress call from the Dragons of the desert. A human named Kibo of Kilimanjaro has discovered a huge five-pointed crystal that can transfer dragon powers to humans.
The League of Dragons and their human allies are back in Romania beginning their pursuit of the dragon-man Kibo throughout Europe and the North Seas. He is desperately attacking and draining powers from all the local Dragons of ancient fable and must be stopped at all costs.
Lumea sends Tanarul and his African dragon companion, Ayo, to the jungles and mountains of Peru to investigate the emergence of Dragons long thought to be extinct. The world is threatened once again as the enormous creatures turn out to be even more ferocious than the Dragons of the human myths.
Release Date: August 2019. The life cycles of many of the elder Dragons’ demand that they must enter their thousand-year hibernation states or perish, leaving the League of Dragons without leaders in a most critical and dangerous time in their long history. A new leader of the Human-Dragon Alliance emerges.
Together they embark on a world tour to meet and study both the Greater Dragons of history and the tiny Lesser Dragons, all of whom have personal stories to tell about their legendary encounters with humans throughout the centuries.

Dragon-lovers are in for a treat! DRAGONS OF ROMANIA struck me as a sort of field guide for learning more about different types of dragons, from the highly imaginary, to those from literature, the Bible, and even Ollie (for those of my generation, who remember Kukla, Fran and Ollie from TV.)
