Tall sky, a bright elf, and Melody, with her miniature dragon, Daisy, join King Aryantes caravan to help rescue Aksandan girls who were abducted by bitter elves and sold into sexual slavery in Orendia, where men view women as properties to be used for pleasure and for childbearing. Throughout their journey, the caravan was attacked by pirates, bandits, giant mantises, and demons sent by the kings adviser, an evil sorcerer named Ahriman. The rescued girls were in need of healing and counseling. They had been used and abused for eight months and had lost hope. On their journey home, the girls learn to trust, to forgive, and to have hope for the future.
The Runaways of Phayendar explores the themes of love, forgiveness, and redemption amid a land of turmoil over the slave trade and greed. It is a story of innocence and heroism in the face of formidable danger. It shows the triumph of the human spirit over evil as it ravages the country of Aksanda, a country of farmers and fishermen whose children are abducted and sold into slavery to foreigners at auctions. Homes are burned and people killed by hordes of evil elves called Bitters who organize for a battle at Orthrund against the dwarves living in the Aikasse Mountains. Bright Elves, men and dwarves, unite to defend Orthrund. Tall Sky, while helping a few runaways, is caught off guard by love with a feisty redhead named Melody and her little dragon, Daisy. They become involved with King Aryantes purge of slavery that has far-reaching effects on the country of Aksanda and beyond.

Chengli joins a caravan to travel down the merchant route known as the Silk Road, but it is a dangerous life, as his father knew. The desert is harsh, and there are many bandits--bandits interested in Chengli's caravan because a princess, her servants, and royal guards are traveling with them. But the desert is full of amazing places and life-changing experiences, as the feisty princess learns the meaning of friendship and Chengli learns the heroism of which he is capable.
