Leviathan Rises Dan Peeler

In Dragons of Romania: Book 1, the ancient Teacher of Dragons, Lumea Veche, and his eager young student, Tanarul, embark from their native Romania on a routine field trip to the greater world of Dragons. The two of them travel the globe, interviewing dozens of their family members, who relate classic dragon fables and legends from their own point of view. Along the way, however, they become aware that the humans who originally told the old tales have been destroying much more than their relatives' history. The planet's delicate ecology is in a shambles because of human neglect and interference. The polar ice caps are melting at an alarming rate. Then the dragons discover a threat unknown to any human. Beneath the ice caps, the hibernating Sea Dragon, Leviathan, has grown to the length of Ireland. Lumea, Tanarul, and the League of Dragons realize that the Sea Giant's stirring would cause tidal waves that could destroy the worlds of both humans and dragons. They also face the truth that the Dragons cannot solve the problem by themselves. To save the planet, a Dragon/Human Alliance must be formed.
In this present volume, Dragons of Romania: Book 2, Leviathan Rises, the Dragon/Human Alliance organizes worldwide teams, including a whole new list of legendary Dragon champions. New problems arise. Even the greatest of Dragons are microbes compared to Leviathan. How is communication with such a creature possible? Is it too late to save the planet?
