Stephunos’ adventures continue as settling into the drastically different life the last six months have brought hasn’t been easy. Dealing with the pressures of being an Earl, a teacher, and an Ambassador at twelve certainly has a way of complicating things. With the help of his friends, or maybe despite their help, Stephunos is hoping to relax. A tall order when you have an overly hyper younger brother and his cohort Youngblood, a highly intelligent young blue dragon, always stirring up trouble. Still, Stephunos’ plans to put the everyday pressures behind as his holiday break arrives. However, a planet where magic radiates everywhere that stands on the verge of clashing with the recently discovered technological universe that has arrived at their door doesn’t exactly make for the best place. Cosmin and the Dark Mages, despite defeat after defeat, still live! Secrets still have to be protected! The addition of space travel has opened up the threat of invasion! The vampire Razvan is uneasy, something sinister is afoot! Has the time come for a favor to be asked? Granted?
