I, Mimi Jovel, inherited The Wyrmstone. Too magnificent to give away, too deadly to keep. I thought I had troubles before: parents dead, two brothers to raise, Child Protective Service after us, adult-sized bills to pay (I'm only eighteen, for God's sake). Now we are hunted by an eight hundred year-old Italian sorcerer who has entangled us in a dragon war. Dragons, in case you were wondering, are wily, conniving, nasty creatures.

But there's hope. My brother Justin is an obsessed Age of Dragons player who makes all of his decisions by rolling twenty-sided dice. My little brother Nicholi will only take advice from his stuffed bear. Three kids, a stuffed bear, and some twenty-sided dice; we'll survive, just you see.
