Wizard Chase (The Wizards Trilogy, Volume 1)

The first book in the Wizards Trilogy. Until he was 13, Gerrald did not know there was a place called Kimyra. He had not met a walacatoon, a scraler or even a ribek. Then one day he went after a cat in a cave and his life changed forever. The skinny kid was suddenly the leader of alien trekkers on a quest to steal the eyes of a dragon. He would soon discover there was something more powerful than magic, myth or mysticism--and only he knew its name.
