The boy who heard dragons

By Benjamen Terry

Everyone believes the dragons are gone.
Fourteen-year-old Cael Arden knows they're wrong.
In a world where nearly everyone possesses some form of magic, Cael has spent his life wondering why he seems to have none.
Then he hears a voice in the fire.
A voice no one else can hear.
A voice that should not exist.
Following it leads Cael beneath a forbidden mountain, where he discovers a secret that could rewrite everything his world believes about its past:
The dragons never vanished. They learned to hide.
Deep beneath the mountain waits Vaelora-an ancient, wounded dragon who recognizes something in Cael that he doesn't yet understand. Through her, Cael discovers First Speech, an ancient form of magic built not on commanding the world, but on listening to it.
But someone else knows what Cael is becoming.
A secretive organization called the Hush has spent generations making sure dragons remain forgotten-and they will do whatever it takes to silence the boy who can hear them.
With his best friend Tessa beside him, Cael must uncover the truth about the dragons, his missing father, and a forgotten ancestor blamed for starting a war centuries ago.
Because Cael isn't simply learning magic.
Magic is beginning to change him.
And somewhere beyond the mountains, something ancient already knows his name.
The Boy Who Heard Dragons is the first adventure in The Dragonbound Chronicles, a YA fantasy series filled with dragons, ancient magic, hidden cities, friendship, mystery, humor, dangerous secrets, and a young hero discovering that sometimes the greatest power isn't making the world obey.
It's learning how to listen
