If you’ve ever wished you could step inside a fantasy world where science isn’t the enemy of wonder—where real chemistry concepts power real adventures—then you’re in for something special. Welcome to MarBryn, a breathtaking realm where civilization runs on elemental truth, and every spell, machine, and miracle begins with the one rule everyone learns early:
No Metal, No Magic.
In Verly The Elemental Dragon With Calcium Magic: Element 20 — Magical Elementals Chemistry Fantasy, the hero isn’t a wizard with a staff. It’s a dragon—calm, analytical, compassionate—whose magical abilities are rooted in one of the most essential elements on the periodic table:
Calcium (Element 20)
Because in MarBryn, the elements aren’t just background details—they’re the story itself.
What if the element that builds your bones could also build barriers, generate blinding light, heal the wounded, and save an entire planet from losing its magic forever? That is exactly the premise behind Verly The Elemental Dragon With Calcium Magic, the twentieth book in the beloved Magical Elementals Chemistry Fantasy Series — and it might just be the most exciting chemistry lesson you have ever encountered.
A Dragon Unlike Any Other
Verly is not your typical dragon. Yes, she flies. Yes, she is formidable. But what makes her truly unforgettable is the combination of her quiet, principled strength and her extraordinary calcium-based magical abilities. Her pale gray and soft pink scales, crown-like horns, and wings embedded with shimmering crystalline calcium formations make her visually stunning. But it is her character — compassionate, scholarly, measured, and deeply just — that makes her the kind of hero readers will carry with them long after the final page.
Her magical powers are rooted in Element 20 — Calcium — and they are as creative as they are scientifically inspired. From healing broken bones with a touch of her tail, to manipulating calcium-rich earth into defensive barriers, to generating blinding flashes of light and fusing her powers with other elements, Verly’s abilities showcase just how remarkable calcium truly is.
A World Worth Exploring
The magical planet of MarBryn is a stunning achievement in fantasy world-building. Governed by the philosophy No Metal, No Magic — a celebration of how essential the periodic table’s elements are to all civilization and technology — MarBryn is a world where ancient alchemy towers stand beside modern chemical refineries, where chalk rivers run with mineral-rich water, and where calcium resonance nodes pulse with elemental energy beneath mountain ranges of breathtaking white stone.
Readers will journey through the crystalline wonder of Crystalmere Hollow, the musically resonant Singing Caves, the vibrant Amber Markets of Vel Sorath, and deep into the dangerous Vaultmere Depths beneath the Dead Pale Mountains. Every location is richly imagined and grounded in real chemical science.
More Than a Fantasy Adventure
At its heart, this story is about foundations — the ones we build in stone and bone and chemistry, and the ones we build in trust, collaboration, and integrity. Verly’s companions, including the precise and endearing Lumyn analyst Pinar, the brilliant alchemist Sorel, the resourceful engineer Daven, and the formidable warden Toreth, each bring something irreplaceable to the journey. Together they demonstrate that the greatest problems are solved not by one powerful individual, but by a team whose different strengths combine into something greater.
Perfect For
This book is perfect for middle grade and young adult readers, chemistry students, educators seeking engaging STEM content, fantasy lovers of all ages, and anyone who believes that science and storytelling belong together.

The bone-healing links above are solid for Verly’s healing ability, though real physiological healing takes weeks, not seconds. That’s pure fantasy.
