Adara: the Dragon Throne of Dracadar

This book is about a young woman who grew up isolated in the Wild lands with an old Magician named Aldred, but who she only knew as Grandfather. Her only friends, as far as she could remember, was a boy from the neighboring homestead named Mydle and a she wolf pet named Tita (TeeTah). When Grandfather suddenly dies, she discovers he had been protecting her from evil forces controlled by an evil vampire Wizard named Sleen. She flees the Wild lands with Tita and Myle as a guide to discover who she really is and to learn of and control the natural magical power she possesses. When she meets up with Grandfathers brother Magician named Marrok, she learns she is the true Queen of Dracadar and it is her destiny to take up a quest to depose the False King Belus and retake the Dragon Throne of Dracadar. This quest takes her through many lands and she wins many allies as well as enemies. She meets with the Elves as well as the Dwarves. The vampire slaves of Sleen along with misguided Dracadarian army troopers and Trolls attempts to hinder her progress. And, of course, don't forget the Pirates.
