Swagon Drorn — Mickee Madden

The sorceress Queen Magmarinan is destroying the Kingdom of Grenwyn in her search for a fire emerald. Adult villagers have either been enslaved to work the mines or have vanished without a trace. More disturbing are all the missing children. Six manage to escape, their ages from eight to seventeen. In the weeks to come, they go from starving to mysteriously gaining individual magical powers. Their first ally is a dragon, who will fight to his death to protect his young wards. When word spreads of the children's abilities, hundreds seek their protection against the queen and her soldiers. But Queen Magmarinan does not take their threat against her seriously. She is confident their powers cannot stand up against her own. Only one side can win and no one has ever been able to stop her before...
