  Threats of Tartarus - Book Two of The Dragon Birthmark Series

  Eleven year-old

  Giovani

  was feeling smothered by his three younger sisters and was bored with ordinary life. His only escape was to journey into imaginary adventures

  while longing for real companionship away from all things frilly. He would imagine fighting epic battles with mythical creatures

  saving ships from pirates

  and discovering lands beyond this world to escape his sisters. \nOn his twelfth birthday

  his eccentric Aunt

  bestowed upon him a mysterious gift that she thought he was finally old enough to handle. Little did he know what adventures awaited him and what strange friends he would make. It changed his life forever. Immediately he was thrust into a curious world that had always been there in the shadows

  protecting him

  so that one day he might help protect them. For over one thousand years

  Giovani’s bloodline had been part of an elite order that had fought against evil

  and now

  ready or not; it was his turn to carry on the family traditions. \nGiovani’s new reality

  filled with heart-stopping adventures with dragons

  elves

  and magic

  awaited his arrival. Evil forces have already killed many innocent people and threatened his family’s existence. The Order needed his help. His family needed his help. It was his birthright

  his duty

  but he couldn't do it alone. How would he handle this new found responsibility and quest he had been longing for? Would he rise to the challenge or sink back into the ordinary?\n
