A little preview
On a warm rooftop garden, Alex held a mug of warm milk while crickets whispered. A small dragon the size of a cat lay curled on the silver moonbeam, and its scales were only a pale silver, not bright. Beside Alex, Pip the starling ruffled his feathers and chirped. The Moon Dragon had always lit the garden with soft, round light, but tonight it sighed and its glow had faded. Fireflies bumped into pots and garden paths blurred.
