Dive into Ember's Echoes(TM) The Dragon's Riddle, where 13-year-old Ember Frost leaps into a fiery fantasy adventure that will ignite your imagination. Perfect for urban teens racing through city streets and rural girls gazing at starry skies, this thrilling tale blends heart-pounding action and heartfelt moments for readers aged 12-18. With a PG-13 beat, Ember's quest proves empathy is the ultimate strength, pulling you into a world where every choice could save-or shatter-a village. Ember Frost is a spark of energy, with flowing chestnut hair, hazel eyes that spot hidden pain, and a grin that brightens any scene. Her glowing locket yanks her into others' stories, and in The Dragon's Riddle, she wakes as Kael, a 14-year-old apprentice in a medieval village facing a dragon with scales like molten gold. Its riddle-"What breaks the proud but frees the meek?"-is the key to saving Kael's sister, Lila. But Silas, a shadowy figure with a chilling voice, haunts Ember, whispering she'll lose herself. Can she crack the riddle and stay true to who she is?
Trouble hits fast as Ember, in Kael's body, dodges the dragon's flames and faces angry villagers. Silas taunts her to flee, but Ember's fierce heart pushes her forward. She sprints through burning paths, searches a twisting forest, and uncovers clues in ancient journals, all while torn: save Kael's family or protect her own identity? Urban teens will love her sharp instincts, honed like a city runner, while rural girls will feel her loyalty and love for open spaces.
The Dragon's Riddle mirrors every teen's tug-of-war between self and duty. Ember's fight to balance Kael's pride with her empathy speaks to city kids juggling school and dreams, and small-town girls making bold choices. Its global pull comes from universal truths-courage, selflessness, standing for others-that hit home whether you're under skyscrapers or wide fields. Ember's dashes and dives fuel the action, while her care for Lila anchors the heart.
Ian Crossland's world glows like a city dusk or rural dawn, his words mixing thrills with quiet bonds, like Ember's stand against Silas's icy doubts. The PG-13 tone keeps stakes high-dragon fire, village danger-without graphic scares, perfect for teens. A frost-rune pendant and locket crystal hint at the Ember's Echoes series' mystery-why Silas stalks Ember-while this tale wraps up with triumph. At 10,000 words, it's a fast, emotional ride for fans of The Giver or His Dark Materials.
For urban teens, Ember's city vibe and real struggles feel like a friend. For rural girls, her nature-love and grit echo home. Globally, she inspires anyone daring the unknown.
