Elan's guardians have a new challenge and a new hero must accept it. For seventeen years there has been peace and prosperity on the other side of Earth's time portal in the fantastic world of Elan. The Dragon Princess, Maggie, and her best friend Ethan have grown from their adolescence into adults and now have children of their own. Then, without warning, The Ancients call Ethan's younger brother, Aaron, away for a new and more dangerous adventure, with creatures no one living has seen before. Now there is the very real chance that an ancient war will be rekindled between the giant sky dragons and their once mortal enemies, the griffins of Elan-a war that would tear the royal family apart. Not only have the griffins returned but so have their caretakers, the griffin girls. Aaron soon discovers that the young women warriors are far more difficult to deal with than the spectacular creatures they ride. Nothing in his training as Elan's nature ambassador has prepared Aaron for the kind of trouble that can accompany fifteen strong and beautiful young women nor from the reactions they evoke from the girls he has known all his life. Aaron has his hands full just dealing with the people who want to change his life. He has no idea where he is going to find the energy to form a new kingdom, train a new sky force, or track down the people who are trying to see that he is never becomes The Griffin King.
