Darastrix Arcaniss is a book trilogy that began in February 2011 by Derek Geoffrey Bartlett. Only one book has been finished, the second is to be proofread, and the third book has yet to come. None of the books have been published yet but the author plans to do just so. The first book titled "The Apprentice" begins over two years after a terrible war started by a dragon known as the Jade, and a boy named Tajarin has been left alone because his father died in that war. The twelve-year-old meets Madagus, a bronze dragon who tells him the Jade Dragon plans to strike back, and the two travel to the king of Munton while Tajarin's best friend Gwyna, the king's daughter is held hostage by the Jade. The girl escapes and is later found in Munton. She and Tajarin make plans together, to stop the Jade and stop the war. Meanwhile, the Jade grows angry and sends a dragon to kill both of them. Trying to protect them, Madagus is badly injured, and it leads to Tajarin and Gwyna leaving to look for the herbalist when she is days late. The two children befriend a lung dragon named Pulsin along the way, and after going over plans he agrees to take them to a vault where powerful weaponry known as "Dragon Bane" is stored, in an underground vault in the desert. On the way, they find an imp named Slelom and he joins their group, helping Tajarin and Gwyna get into the vault. Pulsin leaves them saying he has businees to attend to, and the three of them travel on foot to a geyser field called Geys, and find a map to a secret way into Dragonhorn Mountain, the dragons' military base. They find it and climb to the top of the volcano, only to have Slelom buried alive, and the two kids being caught by the Jade. While a great battle rages downhill, the Jade nearly throws Tajarin into the great lava pit, but by the most lucky and slim chance, Slelom appears just in time and kills the Jade. The book ends with Tajarin, Gwyna and Slelom relaxing in Munton, hoping not to get into anymore trouble. Little do they know that their troubles have only begun.
