[DT1FrontCover] Carol was one of the millions of people who played the ‘Dragon Tamers’ virtual reality computer game. Along with her partner, a dragon called Sam, she managed to become the strongest player in the game.

When the games goes offline, she’s called in to help along with the second strongest player Ceirin and a beginner called Ellen, who was brought in by accident. As a strange monster destroys areas of the game, the trio of humans and their partners set out to find this creature and defeat him, and in doing so save the game world.

It seems simple enough, but there’s a catch – if they die in the game, they die in the real world too.

[DT2FrontCover] Darkness can never truly be destroyed…

The arrival of a rogue character to the Dragon Realms triggers the reactivation of an old story. It’s characters reawaken, and the game plunges into chaos. In the midst of it all, one god attempts to destroy the Realms, while a princess from his past fights to stop him.

As worlds collide, she reaches out to the Dragon Realms, and makes contact – a contact with that world that could save it, but could also destroy it.

Her name is Opal, Princess of the Cat Folk, and she will do anything to make sure history doesn’t repeat itself…

But the Dragon Tamers have problems of their own to deal with. A dark force is turning them against each other, manipulating their thoughts and actions – and it will only stop if blood is spilled…
