After being outfitted for the trip in enchanted gear, Monty enters the Magic Bag. There he discovers a whole new world which is being destroyed by an evil, fire breathing dragon. He forms a rag-tag army of elves, fairies, gnomes and unicorns to fight the dragon and the quest begins. Children from ages nine to ninety will love Monty and his band of loyal followers and their adventures. Often humorous and full of spunk, this coming of age fantasy series, The Magic Bag, will touch your heart and tickle your funny bone. It’s a classic in the making.

Nao's party has agreed to temporarily settle down in Laffan, but that means they have to begin saving up money again in order to purchase a plot of land and pay for the construction of a house.

However, there’s no such thing as easy money, so their goal of achieving a relaxing and peaceful life in this different world is still a distant dream. Money comes and goes; that’s the harsh reality that Nao’s party has to face.
