Synopsis
Whilst exploring their grandparents' farm, two children are unwittingly transported to another place and time – the land of Dalriada.

Completely different to anything the children have known, it is a place that they could only have ever dreamt about. A haven for earthly animals in mortal danger, Dalriada is a colourful world of varying habitats. It is a place where animals can talk and guinea pigs have the ability to fly. It is also a place in which Pegasus, Elves, Bunyips, and Unicorns abound.

In order to return back to their own home, the children must first sway the balance of power in this magical land. By doing so, not only will they be able to protect its inhabitants and preserve its fate; but in the process, they will also come to realise more about themselves, and their special abilities, than they ever thought possible.

From The Book
"Many years ago." said Glandor, “I was just a small child. The Elven people were united in battle against a fearsome Wyvern - A vicious type of dragon, one that had never before been seen in our lands.

“The beast ruined our crops and burned our orchards. If for no other reason, it did it for the joy it received from making our lives miserable. It routinely stole children and destroyed outlying farmhouses. It was unafraid of the Elven warriors whose arrows and swords, and even magic, were no match for its power.”

“Where did it come from?” interjected Rebecca, shivering at the thought of such a savage beast.

“That has rarely been discussed,” he answered. “However, it can be assumed that the hideous creature had come from deep within the Northern Lands, which lay well beyond what is now known as the Dragon Spine Ridge.

“As with all such beasts,” continued the Elf, “its strength and magical immunity lay in the protective force of its Wyvernstone.” He paused briefly to look at the children.

“What’s a Wyvernstone?” asked Christopher, peering up at Glandor.
