Once upon a time, there was a medieval land called Knowhere ruled by the kindly King Julian . . .
In the whimsical royal realm of Knowhere, renowned for its talented artisans and majestic scenery, lives a young girl named Luciana who works as a junior apprentice in her father's glassblowing workshop. Teased by boys at school and longing for acceptance, Luciana spends her free time training and riding Diego, her loyal pet dragon and best friend. When her father invents an innovative hourglass to help the king and townspeople track their daily tasks, the jealous town hermit Balthazar casts a spell on him that results in timekeeping disasters and chaos throughout the kingdom.
Desperate to rescue her father from confinement in the royal dungeon and to prove her worth, Luciana and Diego set out on a brave undertaking against daunting odds. Will Luciana succeed, or will the chance to save her father's fate slip away like sand through an hourglass?
Luciana's Finest Hour is a story that celebrates and embodies the spirit of a girl's empowerment. In her unforgettable finest hour, Luciana shows readers that with courage, kindness, and belief in one's self, anything is possible.
