Great 5 Star Collection!, September 23, 2004
It is difficult to find something for a favorite niece that has grown way past the Barbie Doll stage. Dragon's Game is a wonderful collection that made the perfect gift.
You will enjoy this book if your a fan of vegetarian or regular dragons, fantasy, heros, alternate worlds, leprechauns, magic, amulets, good deeds, ogres, spells, wizards good and bad, creatures, fairies, princesses or Carol Dennis because her stories are so rich in atmosphere and detail.
If you are tired of deep convoluted characters with dark psychological motivations for everything they do these are the stories for you. The characters are quirky, charming and interesting.

Dragon's Game Overview, September 24, 2004
Dragon's Game is a trilogy of three books that were printed over fifteen years ago.
In the first book, Dragon's Pawn, Jarl Koenig, an earthman who doesn't believe in magic, meets a leprechaun and is transported by means of a dragon bracelet to Realm, where they need a hero to battle the monsters created by earthlings' imaginations. Fafnoddle, a pacifistic, vegetarian dragon, joins him on his adventures. Jarl not only learns to believe in magic, but he also becomes a magic worker himself before he battles the Shadowlord for the survival of Realm.
In Dragon's Knight, the second book, Jarl's children and his wife are put at risk in another confrontation with the Shadowlord on the planet Achaea, where the Greek gods now reside.In a battle to keep the Shadowlord from causing the sun of Achaea to become a nova, it takes the Greek gods and Jarl's entire family to face the Shadowlord.
Dragon's Queen is the story of Lealor, one of Jarl's children, and her companion, Fafleen, the dragon child of Fafnoddle. On Widdershins, evil priests keep the population subjugated by killing others who possess magic. Lealor, a shapeshifting witch and healer, becomes their prisoner. Will Rand, the King of the shapeshifters, reach her before she is sacrificed by the priests?
These books are intended for anyone who likes fantasy. The only real magic on earth today lies in reading a good book. Dragon's Game is magic.
