The Young Dragon A cosmic coming-of-age tale of loss, destiny, and found family among the stars.
When the starship Vyraan'Thal is destroyed in orbit above Earth, seventeen-year-old Kaël'Tharys - the last surviving heir of an ancient draconic lineage - crashes to a world he has only known through legends. Alone, grieving the death of his parents, and stripped of everything familiar, Kaël must hide his true nature behind human skin and golden eyes that betray his origins.
Guided by nothing but a crystalline memory of his mother's final words - You are the Dragon Child - he steps into the quiet town of Cold Lake, Alberta. There, in the simple warmth of a Dairy Queen on a cold night, he meets Maya, a young woman whose quiet strength and open heart offer him the first glimpse of belonging on this strange new planet.
But the universe is never truly silent.
Drawn by a mysterious signal and an unbreakable destiny, Kaël soon finds himself aboard the Phoenix - a living, half-luminous vessel carrying a remarkable crew forged from flesh, metal, and light. Alongside Maya, the steadfast Kevin, the curious Kyle, the fearless Klodine, the noble dragon Zeyl'Nar, the visionary Jean, and the awakened AIs Astra and Lyria, he embarks on a journey across worlds and realities.
Together, they will cross the ruins of fallen civilizations, witness the death of stars, and confront forces that bend time itself. As Kaël learns what it truly means to be human - and what it means to carry the legacy of dragons - he must decide whether to hide from his past or rise as the bridge between two worlds.
The Young Dragon is an emotional space opera filled with wonder, heartfelt bonds, breathtaking adventure, and the timeless question: Where do we belong when the stars themselves call us home?
Perfect for fans of The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet, Skyward, and anyone who dreams of found family among the cosmos.
