Ben Taylor has had the same nightmare almost every night since coming to Fairhaven. Two moons hang in the sky. A large creature holds him in its claws before dropping him into cold dark water.
There is no one who can tell Ben what his nightmares mean. Ben’s father has disappeared. He never knew his mother. Many of the teachers are his father’s friends, but they do not know the source of Ben’s nightmares. Neither does the principal, who is older than any other person on earth.
They wouldn’t tell him if they knew, for secrets are kept at Fairhaven.
One secret is that Mariah Templeton is not only the school’s principal, but she is also the earth’s Watcher. She has a mystical connection to the Earth and to the Watchers on the other five worlds and to the Guardian of the Six Worlds.
The Watcher doesn’t understand why Ben is chosen to go to a world full of water where his nightmares will become reality. Mariah Templeton doesn’t know why he was given only two gifts when three are normally given.
All she knows is that it is her job to send those chosen, and Ben has been chosen.
What Lies Ahead
Grade ten isn’t turning out the way Ben expected. His best friend is no longer Ben’s roommate, but has been replaced by a strange boy who follows him everywhere.
Jealousy awakens the dragon fire within him when the girl he likes returns to school with a boyfriend. That fire and the scales peeking out from under Ben’s shirtsleeves are making it difficult to keep his secret.
Ben needs to go to his mother’s home world to learn how to transform into a dragon. If the training comes too late, Ben is in danger of becoming something that is neither human nor dragon.
