They thought it was an imaginary place, a place they'd made up while enacting fantasy role-playing games. Until the day they found the sword under the hedge, and learned that the Secret Country was all too real. The riddling uicorns. The magic ring. The Sorceresses of the Green Caves. The Dragon King. They'd stumbled into a Hidden Land - and no one could tell them the way home again. 3. The Whim of the Dragon - 389 pp, 2003 first Firebird printing, ISBN 0142501611. "There are three things that have the power to destroy the Secret Country: the Border Magic, the Crystal Earth, and the whim of the dragon. Ted, Laura, Ruth, Patrick, and Ellen have faced the first and second; now, summoned back to the Secret Country, they are up against the third. The Country's most trusted counselors now know that the five are imposters, somehow thrust into the roles of royalty. But no one knows who has been playing with their destinies, and that of the Secret Country - so they must find and speak with Chryse, the unicorn, and Belaparthalion, the dragon, in order to bring the truth to light once and for all."
