Great read! This is for fantasy lovers of all ages!
Plot
(Enoch's Ghost, the second book in the Oracles of Fire series, picks up the "Dragons in Our Midst" story where "Tears of a Dragon" and "Eye of the Oracle" ended.)
Walter, Ashley, and Karen ride atop the great dragon Thigocia in search of her long-lost mate, Makaidos, and her son, Gabriel. When Walter and Ashley discover a army of giants hibernating in the depths on the earth, they meet a mysterious girl named Sapphira Adi, who claims to be thousands of years old. Sapphira reveals a sinister plot, conceived centuries ago by Morgan Le Faye and the devil himself.
The giants awaken and ascend to the Earth, prepared to carry out a scheme that threatens the entire cosmos and the fate of other dimensions, and only the dragons can defeat them. The greatest of dangers, building to a climax in three different worlds, meets the power of God's love and sacrifice.
