Ember's Gentle Fire

A cozy fantasy adventure about finding your own magic, embracing differences, and learning that being yourself can save the day. Pip is a young dragon who feels different - and wishes he wasn't. While every other dragon in Ember Hollow can breathe fire to light the lanterns and keep the mountain warm, when Pip tries, he sneezes a swirling cloud of shimmering, rainbow-colored bubbles instead. Embarrassed and feeling like the only 'wrong' dragon in the hollow, Pip hides his breath away in glass jars.
But when the mysterious Smoke Crow steals the sacred Hot-Stone Charm, the mountain's warm vents begin to fail, and a freezing winter threatens to lock the village in ice. Alongside his wise grandmother Nana Ember and a brave human friend named Mara, Pip must venture deep into the icy, low-air tunnels where blasting fire would be too dangerous to use. In the freezing dark, Pip discovers that his bubbles can protect, guide, glue, and hold warmth in ways fire never could. Will Pip's unique gift be enough to recover the charm and save his home from the deep freeze? Ember's Gentle Fire is a heartwarming tale perfect for young readers and fans of cozy fantasy, celebrating the magic of being yourself.
