Paramis, a remote planet from across the galaxy, collides with Earth with the aid of powerful magic. The God, Cerras, a giant made of amber quartz, stirs, restless in his century-long slumber. Dragons are now living side by side with men on New Earth and Paramis Altered, but all is not well with the world.

Lane, a traitorous dragon to her own kind, is turning dragons against men, and men against dragons.  She longs to usurp the throne of Cerras, hoping to destroy the Giant God with his own power. Yet fate lies with Charlie Underhill, a nine-year-old boy who - since the collision - harbors a special kind of magic all his own.

Told from the point of view of Justin Silas of Amberlye, a dragon from Paramis, When We Were Dragons is an original, heartfelt, and imaginative tale for all ages.
