In this the first book of the "Dragon Keepers" series, Merlin is about to turn 13 years old and become an official dragon keeper. Mr. Goldwell has embedded the success principles from his books "The Door to Super Achievement" and "The Power of Choice" into the story so that young people can learn these principles through adventure, fantasy and mystery. There are seven books planned for "Dragon Keepers" and each book will have motivational, and success principles included in the story. Emerson Ward, the illustrator for "Dragon Keepers" wrote, "When I read the book, I realized that kids just aren't taught the principles that are contained in this story. I wanted to be a part of this adventure so I decided I wanted to be the illustrator for the book."
