The invading pirates from Perz have set their sights on a new goal in Lentari, capturing the dwarven Narian Power Hammer, which promises supreme physical strength and longevity to its owner. But trekking through the enormous underground cavern system that the dwarves call home does not come naturally to men of the sea, and Captain Flinn has his hands full, keeping his crew in line as they search for the elusive magical hammer. Flinn has one thing going for him, the Alchos Stone, which can make his men, his ship and himself invisible. The thing that will work against him, however, is that he's being tracked by Steve and Sarah Miller and their Lentarian allies, the dragons. Can the Millers catch up with Flinn and his men before they find the Hammer, create massive destruction, and escape? And can they retrieve the powerful Fang of the Red Oskorlisk, which Flinn has already stolen, the talisman that gives the dragons their power, before the pirates break away and take to the sea again?Newly edited and re-released! * * * Praise for Jeffrey Poole's epic fantasy novels:"I loved this book.

The villages of Lentari are in big trouble. Dragons have swooped in, inexplicably blasting homes and businesses with fire, nearly burning the town of Verdayn to the ground. No one knows what is behind the attacks-the dragons and humans have been allies for a long time. Suspicions point to an outside force. Something or someone has bewitched the dragons into committing the heinous acts. King Kri'Entu doesn't quite know where to turn for answers. Until his son volunteers to lead the investigation. Crown Prince Mikal is now a young man, bored with court life and wanting to take an active part in his father's work. He convinces the king to allow him to travel to Verdayn to find out what happened. His first stop is to speak with the town constable, and Mikal finds himself suddenly enchanted with the constable's pretty daughter, Lissa. Forcing himself to keep his mind on business, he takes the villagers' statements and is quickly off to the site of yet another dragon attack. All of this seems to be leading in one direction. There's a rogue wizard on the loose, and Mikal is stunned to learn the talented conjurer is close to his own age. How did one so young learn the skills to create more complex spells than the elder wizards, and to control creatures as mighty as dragons? And why is he doing this? The quest to find the wizard and to stop the attacks takes Mikal and Lissa, with help from the young dragon, Pravara, into dangerous waters indeed.

Steve and Sarah Miller find themselves back in the manor house-but it's 120 years before their time! The portal which delivered them into this mess is one-way, leaving them no way back to their present lives. Sarah has been kidnapped, Steve must return to Lentari for the special crystal necessary to create the two-way portal, and all of this is crucial to Steve's very existence. He meets his great-great-grandfather, who reveals that he is Lentarian, which means Steve has Lentarian blood too. Traveling between worlds was challenging enough. Making the journey in another time becomes dangerously complex when the realization strikes that anything they change now will have far-reaching repercussions into the future. But if Steve can't save Sarah and get them back to the present, the history of Lentari as well as their own fate, are in jeopardy.

Zack and Jillian rush home from their previous case at the distressing news that her kitchen shop, Cookbook Nook, has been broken into and ransacked. It's a puzzle indeed, when it appears the only thing the thief took were some tubs of ice cream from the café section of the store. Luckily, her security cameras caught the thief in the act. Now they just have to locate him. But things get complicated when the thief is found murdered. And so is his next of kin, and that's when the police pretty much hit a dead end. Two jurisdictions are involved-it's Pomme Valley versus Medford. A bet takes place between the two police chiefs, as each races to put their best detectives on the case to figure out why anyone would steal very specific flavors of ice cream, leaving others behind.

The fantasy kingdom of Lentari (introduced in Jeffrey Poole's Bakkian Chronicles series) comes to life once again, in this acclaimed series. Lukas, a young dwarf, narrowly averts tragedy while attending a class by the master craftsman Maelnar, falling into the forge's fire. Amazingly, he comes away from the near miss with only a mark on his back. The mark is not quite a burn. But it is disfiguring and embarrassing to the family, and it's not fading away, so his father, Venk, takes young Lukas to consult the most respected wizard in the kingdom. They learn this mysterious mark is part of a Questor's Mark, a sort of roadmap to an adventure that had long been the dream of many-to find the Lost City of Nar. Tales abound about the riches of Nar and the unsurpassed skills of that dwarven community, but no one has been there and no Narians seem to have survived. What happened? And how will Venk and the search party find the series of additional clues in order to complete the map? For completing the quest is the only way young Lukas will be free of the awful mark, and the only way his people will learn the answers to the age-old questions.
