The Heritage of Yawnogard

About the Book

The Great Viator, an explorer of the Milky Way galaxy is forced to flee his dying planet Yawnogard, and must select a safe place for his family, friends and dragons to begin anew. When the planet Earth is chosen as their safe-haven, a living crystal entity creates a space portal to transport them to Earth. Even though they find Earth’s inhabitants hostile to their presence, they choose to remain. Some go into hiding, while others assume roles within the population to determine a time that they may come forth and be accepted. Today, 900 years later, on an early summer morning in a small Pennsylvania town, teen brothers, John and Ian, unwittingly unleash The Great Viator’s personal dragon from its cave confinement. The dragon’s release initiates an exciting series of events, including: the discovery of The Great Viator’s real identity, an encounter with a determined government agent and the emergence of special latent powers upon the brothers who train to become dragon-riders. Once trained, the boys return to Yawnogard with The Great Viator to battle a powerful evil wizard. Here they meet a sentient crystal entity that is older than the universe itself, and discover they have a unique heritage on Yawnogard.

About the Author

I was born in Sault, Michigan. My first job was stocking magazines and comics in a corner store. My imagination flourished from all the characters I’d read about. As I enjoy my 60th year of learning about human behavior, my life is filled with challenges and adventures. I now use my waking time to observe incidents and people for their desires, fears and humorous antics. This unlimited material, offers me opportunities to place them in perspective for my short stories, the novel I’ve written and for those stories yet to find their way to paper. J.H. L.
