In the peaceful village of Green Hill, a new year is beginning. For Fiona Green and her three friends it is the beginning of an adventure they could never have imagined. Forces long thought to have been banished from the world appear to be returning. The last known dragon, Galentia Silverscale, in a desperate attempt to help the world, calls on Fiona and her friends to set out on a quest that will provide their only chance at defeating an ancient enemy...an enemy enraged by his exile and wanting nothing less than what was taken from him: total control of the world of Pardenia. Along the way, the four friends will have to learn what it means to be dragon touched as Galentia bestows on them a gift not shared in centuries: the essence mark...the magic of dragons.
