About the Book

FULL BOOK SUMMARY. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO SPOIL THE END (WHICH IS REALLY A REAL SURPRISE), DO NOT READ THE END. CONTAINS SPOILERS. READ THE BOOK FIRST.

Part one: Entering the Paradise Dimension

In which Clark Atan Tisik, living in a nearby town of Elko, Nevada, is whisked away by a spirit on his birthday. Clark arrives in a new dimension called the Paradise, that is inhabited by dragons and leprechauns who live in harmony. Once Clark arrives, he is introduced to his soon-to-be dragon friend, Shawn-wan-ray, who takes him to the Paradise ‘palace.’ Shawn-wan-ray converses with Clark that even though the Paradise is meant to be an island of unity, there is a dragon called Sorare-wre-dah who is trying to commence the island into evil and discord. The Paradise is protected by Guardians who guard against Sorare-wre-dah and his minions.

Despite all this danger, Clark enjoys the Paradise and feels that he belongs here. It could just be a new home... Throughout this part, and the following, Clark is constantly trying to find out who he is and where he truly belongs. The result is slowly becoming apparent.

Part two: The Legend

In which Clark stays at the Paradise in a sleeping quarter next to his new friend, Shawn-wan-ray. The dragons and leprechauns introduce him to dragon chi, which allows Clark to ‘shift’ from human to dragon form. Clark’s chosen chi is that of a long dead Guardian of the Paradise.

Over the next few days, Clark discovers the delights of the Paradise with its history, flying dragons, guiding leprechauns, and friendliness. Clark also discovers the background of his dragon chi and the objects the ancient Guardian once sought: The Dragon Crystal and The Orb of the Leprechaun. Being within Clark, the ancient Guardian encourages him to go after the two legendary objects, which will bring everlasting peace to the Paradise. The Guardian had found the Crystal and placed it in a safe location. The Guardian also left three clues in books to find the lost Orb of the Leprechaun. These clues are found as odd symbols on books.

Clark finds one of these symbols, and heads to the Sharde Tower with Shawn-wan-ray to find the meaning of the symbol, appearing as an f. The meaning of this symbol has been hidden from sight in the Tower basement. Encouraged to solve this newfound mystery, Clark and Shawn-wan-ray head towards the basement and its unknown dangers.

Part three: The Clues of Location

In which Clark and Shawn-wan-ray discover the meaning to the clue in the Tower’s basement, which leads to another book with a hint to the Orb of the Leprechaun’ placement in it. But before they can leave the Tower, a dragon and the leprechaun Likert-Detscawe enter the basement by a hidden tunnel. The evil pair had snuck in to the Tower to wreak havoc on the Paradise. Clark goes after them, only to be captured by the dragon and Likert-Detscawe, and forcefully taken to Sorare’s lair. Sorare steals Clark’s clue from the book. Sorare then tries to kill Clark, only to have him be whisked away to the Paradise by leprechaun magic.

Over the remainder of the day, Sorare and his minions attack the Paradise in order to find the remaining clues and Clark. The attacks results in the Elder Leprechaun being assaulted by a dark force, and Clark being captured yet again.

Part four: The Legendary Orb of the Leprechaun

In which Shawn-wan-ray rescues Clark and heals the Elder using his ‘power from within.’

In which weeks pass as Shawn-wan-ray and Clark try finding the final clue to the Orb’s location, before Sorare can locate the same clue. Setting off just ahead of Sorare, Clark and Shawn-wan-ray find the last clue and head for the Orb’s location, only to find Sorare in hot pursuit.
