Talon and the Dragons of Crinnelia
Beware of strange men in taverns, they might be wizards. Talon must retrieve the Rings of Ko Mon-Po and return them to the wizard, Olwin, but it’s not as easy as it sounds. With dragons keeping a close eye on him and the Baron’s son torturing him and evil wizards ready to kill his new friend, Talon has a hard time just making it through the day. But even with the Rings in Olwin’s hands Talon’s troubles are just beginning.
Dragons, Wizards, and magical rings. This was not at all what Talon had in mind when he accepted an errand from a strange old man. Now an evil Wizard is after him, he's living in a cave, and a Dragon Queen has mysterious plans for his future. Can Talon accept his fate and become a powerful Wizard?
Welcome to The Prophecy of the Dragons where wizards aren’t just men in pointy hats and dragons aren’t fly-by-flamethrowers.
From the back cover:
"I can always tell when the Magic is present in a human: a glowing about the head, rather like the glow of the embers in your fire. I ate someone with Magic once, and had gas for month." The dragon chuckled, at least Talon hoped that was a chuckle.

I'm now anxiously waiting for the next installment of Talon, and I must say, a big, WELL DONE DIANA!!!"
“I loved this book! Diana Metz finds a great new approach to a dragon fantasy!”
“Imagine a world full of dragons living with humans. Seems impossible right? Diana Metz brings together realism and fantasy with flawless grace. This book may seem to be only about magic, but at it's core are lessons of tolerance and sacrifice, lessons to be learned by people of all ages.”
“I close my eyes I can imagine I am there among the dragons or soaring above the clouds on the back of one of these magnificent beasts! A wonderful book for any age!”
“This is one of the best wizard/dragon books I have read in a long time. This may have been written for young people, but it's a great read for adults, too. The relationship between Talon, the young wizard, and the dragons is humorous and delightful, and the adventures of Talon and his dragon companion are truly entertaining.”
