After losing his younger sister and the family farm to devastating wildfires in Australia, Ethan Lawson's life is already falling apart when his father accepts a new job in Whitehorse, Yukon. Dragged halfway around the world into a landscape of endless forests, frozen rivers, and northern mountains, Ethan wants nothing more than to survive the move and keep his head down.
Instead, the North changes him.
As Ethan befriends Noah, a local teen deeply connected to the land around him, he begins to see a world far different from the one he left behind. Caribou are abandoning ancient migration routes. Permafrost is thawing. Methane rises from the ground like the planet itself is breathing wrong. The warnings are everywhere-if people are willing to look.
Then Ethan discovers a shard of obsidian unlike anything he has ever seen.
Bound to a mysterious white dragon named Pluto, Ethan becomes entangled in a crisis unfolding beneath the Arctic ice itself. An oil spill is spreading through one of the most fragile ecosystems on Earth, and powerful people are already working to control the story before the truth can surface. As Ethan begins to feel Pluto's thoughts, pain, and fear as though they were his own, the line between human and dragon starts to blur.
Caught between loyalty to his family, grief for everything he has lost, and the growing realization that silence can be as dangerous as destruction, Ethan must decide how far he is willing to go to protect a world already under strain.
Shattered Ice is the fourth book in the Draconim series, a young adult environmental fantasy saga exploring climate change, ecological collapse, friendship, grief, and the relationship between humanity and the living planet. Blending dragons, adventure, and real-world environmental issues, the series follows young people across the globe as they confront crises that adults have ignored for far too long.
Perfect for readers who enjoy:
- Environmental and climate fiction
- Dragon-centered fantasy
- Coming-of-age adventures
- Stories grounded in real ecological issues
- YA speculative fiction with emotional depth
- Northern and Arctic settings
- Friendship, resilience, and activism
In the world of Draconim, dragons are not conquerors or monsters. They are guardians tied to the memory of the Earth itself.
And the Earth is beginning to wake.
