The first book of the trilogy, The Dragon of Prali, was released February 2010 and in a couple of weeks was already on sale worldwide, followed by The Wizard of Prali (2011) and The Vampires of Prali (2013). The series is in the tradition of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. Today fantasy is the most popular genre, and will be for years to come, thanks to the films Lord of The Rings, Harry Potter, and Twilight. The Prali Series by Davidson L.
