Gallenor is once again at peace. Hallond the Terrible has been defeated, and Markus has remerged as the first dragon in over a 1,000 years. Now, it's time to learn to master his powers in school at the College of Wizardry near Thendor. But Markus finds that life as a powerful wizard is more complicated than he assumed, as he struggles to split his time between learning, working with the provisional government in Thendor, and building his relationship with Crystal.

Crystal is in danger, the land is in peril, and Markus must decide between the darkness and the light in order to restore peace to Gallenor. As the line between friend and foe becomes more skewed, Hallond grows more powerful and wicked, spurring the harsh reality that death may be the only thing separating Markus from his destiny: to wield the most powerful weapon of all time - the Dragonwand!

The Earth had four fleets to fight the invading enemy. The first fleet valiantly protected earth, but it wasn’t enough. Three fleets would arrive soon and end the threat...but they never came through the wormhole. One ship escaped the massacre, fleeing deep into space while the rest of Earth’s defenses were destroyed. Only the barrier around the planet keeps the enemy from finishing what they started.

The world is threatened when a headless robotic suit of armor appears out of nowhere and attacks, starting with Knoxville, Tennessee. The UCH mobilizes and sends a small team to thwart its plans. Bark, Snow, and Spark investigate the war zone, only to be attacked as well. As the team of Super-Normals are challenged to the limits utilizing their super-powers to turn back the enemy, the nearly unstoppable armor hits Bark with a strange weapon, and, soon after, something inside him begins to change - he starts to lose his mind.

As Bark enrolls as a full-time student of the UCH, he becomes well acquainted with the art of being a hero, as well as making new friends and falling in love. Unfortunately, the plight of the outside world waits for no one, not even a supernormal. And as expected, there are enemies around every corner. Soon, Bark finds himself in great danger as the entire UCH is put at risk of completely being overrun and obliterated by a surprising menace.

In a world where Super-Normals are more common and super villain threats to society more extreme, Joshua Henderson faces a new reality when he is transformed by a greedy scientist into a half-dog, half-man creature with super powers, taking not only his humanity, but his past memories, as well. With only tiny shreds of his memory intact and his speech reduced to the mere gibberish of barking, Joshua takes refuge with the other Super-Normals of the United Corps of Heroes.

As the search for the legendary Dragonwand continues, Markus and his trio of travelers find themselves in unfamiliar territory traversing the countryside for clues to its whereabouts, while Hallond persists with his plans to rule the Kingdom. But the closer they get to obtaining the Dragonwand, the more evil lurks around every corner, and even those creatures that seem the most unassuming are a threat to the group. Captain Morris persists in his effort to foil their plans of freeing Gallenor from imminent destruction, aligning himself with the Shlan.

Over 1,000 years ago, nearly all the ancient wizards were destroyed after the Wizard Wars. However, the one who started the war still remains, having worked his will in secret.

Unaware of the Dragonwand or the betrayer, 16-year-old Markus is looking for a wizard who will give him a letter of recommendation for the College of Wizardry. During his journey, he stumbles upon Tolen the Wise, who sends Markus on a quest.
