The Hidden Kingdom

This middle-grade fantasy delivers a thrilling adventure where five prophesied dragonets seek refuge in the supposedly peaceful RainWing kingdom, only to find a sinister mystery unfolding around them. The protagonist, Glory, embarks on a deeply personal journey to understand her heritage while her adopted home faces a creeping threat that its queen refuses to acknowledge, forcing the young dragons to become investigators in their own sanctuary.

What sets this narrative apart is its masterful blend of identity exploration with high-stakes detective work, as the dragonets must trust their instincts over the complacency of their elders. Readers who crave fantasy worlds with complex social structures and underrepresented heroes stepping into their power will find this story particularly compelling. The tension between seeking safety and confronting danger creates a page-turning experience that redefines what it means to be a hero.
