Four normal modern day teenagers are plunged into a world they thought only existed in novels and film. They are whisked away to a magical land where dragons roam the skies, orcs and hobgoblins terrorize travelers, and kingdoms wage war for dominance. It is a world where man is just one race, joining other races such as elves, trolls, dwarves, changelings, and the dreaded night creatures who steal the night. Not a typical "dungeons and dragons" world, for this story follows the adventures of these teens into the unknown as we watch the world unfold with their eyes. It is a world that is foreign to them. We learn as they learn. And what hope do these teens have in this strange Middle Earth world? How can they survive against wizards, dwarves, halflings, dragons, and trolls if they had a hard time making it in high school? THIS ISSUE: "BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE" - The Cave of Illusions reveals itself and Alex gets some much needed training in using his magic skills by Delora. Our group of travelers manage to get out of the cave after a battle but now find themselves in another pitfall, this time a Dragon. But dragons were thought to be a myth, even in the Realm.
