Alone, nameless and under the control of a wicked
hag, the small boy ponders his life. Dragged by the hag the little boy
falls and cuts his hand on a sharp object, yet moments later the wound
magically heals. Far away in another parallel world, an old man’s hand
begins to bleed. Suddenly the boy hears a voice- a quiet whisper in his
ear. The voice tells him to go to the market and follow “the girl”.
The girl will lead him to his family and the love he desperately seeks,
far from the old hag. Although he is frightened and unsure, excitement
fills his heart for the first time in two long years.
Dager and his sister Lucia take the reader on an exciting action packed
adventure as they attempt to escape the world of the hag and return to
their parents and the land beneath the sea.

Reviews:
"After having the fortune to read Imogene, I
was absolutely thrilled to read Dager, and frankly I’m glad I did.
Readers, both young and old, will enjoy these stories of mythical,
mystical kingdoms that breathe life back into a popular but dying subject.
The author shows apparent growth and expertise in this second in a series.
She does such extraordinary things to her characters; she uses her
creative imagination to bring their sheer essence and innocence leaping
from the pages with a ferocious rush of emotions. The storylines and plots
are fresh and exhilarating, with twists and turns that leave the reader
breathless, still hungry for more. I’m confident that Teresa Saari has
earned herself a place in the literary world, while her characters find
their place into reader’s hearts." ~ Kim
Hayes, Freelance Writer and Professional Book Reviewer
"Children everywhere will love DAGER OF THE
TASMAN EMPIRE! Children of all ages will love the colorful characters,
vivid imagery and the exhilarating plot...Author Teresa Saari’s first
book, Imogene of the Pacific Kingdom was a charming introduction to the
author’s world of fantasy and delight. Dager of the Tasman Empire
continues to show her vivid imagination and wonderful sense of adventure.
Her stories promote love, family values and a sense of responsibility and
mutual respect." ~ Shirley Roe (Canada)
