Izabella is the youngest dragon at Drachenmoor, and everyone adores her. Her family does not notice that she has grown from a cute, curious baby dragon into a clever, creative magical creature who can now do big dragon stuff. Izabella wants to do her part to make this year’s Halloween party special and fun at Drachenmoor, but her imagination fails her when she needs it most. Desperate, Izabella makes the biggest, most sincere wish of her life. Come along as Izabella discovers that the real magic of wishes lies not in the wish-making but in the wish-maker.

Drachenmoor is the creation of imaginator, Dan Goepfert, aka: Dan the Wizard Man. Since the year 1999, Dan has brought the characters he imagines to life at Drachenmoor, a Halloween village located in Joplin, Missouri. Author, Gail Roberson, calls on her clinical expertise as a Licensed Professional Counselor and her unique ability of seeing life through the eyes of children to teach life lessons through the Drachenmoor characters.

(2025 release) Book 5 of the Drachenmoor Series - Paperback only.

Hardcover is available on Amazon.com

We find Karmyn, the Drachenmoor troll, in a frantic frenzy trying to find his beloved trinkets and the thief who took them. In his words, his bridge is as “naked as the day it was built!” Now, he is too embarrassed for anyone to see his bridge like this, and he has declared it “OFFICIALLY CLOSED!” We are left to wonder: with no way to get from one side of Drachenmoor to the other, except across Karmyn’s bridge, will Halloween be canceled at Drachenmoor this year?

Every year, two weeks before Halloween, thousands of human guests visit Drachenmoor, a magical world that is the creation of imaginer, Dan Goepfert, aka: Dan the Wizard Man. Dan wants to be sure that families can enjoy a spooky, fun Halloween, minus the gore and terror of more adult-themed attractions. Drachenmoor has been welcoming Halloween guests of all ages for over 25 years.

It’s only a few days until the creatures of the Deep Woods begin their journey to Drachenmoor, where they’ll camp along the haunted trail for two whole weeks and welcome their human guests to the best Halloween party of the year!
Everyone is excited to play games, sing Halloween songs, and share spooky stories with their magical friends who live at Drachenmoor.

Everyone, that is, except Hecate the Grumpiest Witch.

Hecate is brooding in her tent with her two slithering familiars, Eriss and Discordia. She has no interest in attending the party this year. She’s tired of Drachenmoor, tired of Dan the Wizard Man, and most of all, tired of Sapphira, the great dragon who everyone calls the “Guardian of Drachenmoor”.

Hecate can’t stand how Sapphira gets so much attention from everyone, especially Dan, who always seems ready to listen to and follow the dragon’s advice. But when Eriss and Discordia, who have never been to Drachenmoor, beg Hecate to take them along, she reluctantly agrees.

There’s just one condition: they must help her teach Sapphira a lesson.

The three mischievous troublemakers put their plan into action soon after arriving at Drachenmoor. But things don’t go quite as Hecate expected.

What happens next will change Drachenmoor forever and create a story that will be remembered for generations to come.

Come along and discover what happens when one jealous witch and her two slithering familiars join the Halloween festivities at Drachenmoor!
