The Lantern Keeper and the Hidden Dragon is a warm, atmospheric children's fantasy about courage, kindness, and the light we carry for others.
High above a winter sea, a road of lanterns winds along the cliffs. Every evening, young Luma walks beside the old Lantern Keeper, learning the ancient ways of tending the lights that guide travellers and sailors safely home.
But one stormy night, the lanterns begin to go out.
Far beyond the familiar road, Luma sees a mysterious golden glow coming from deep within the mountain. Following it leads Luma and the Keeper into a hidden cavern-and to an enormous dragon that the world has long forgotten.
The dragon once carried a light of its own. But after fear, greed and anger drove it into hiding, it stopped believing that its flame could ever be safely shared again.
Perhaps one small lantern-and one brave child-can change that.
Beautifully illustrated with snowy mountains, glowing lanterns, a dramatic northern coastline and an unforgettable hidden dragon, The Lantern Keeper and the Hidden Dragon is a gentle fantasy adventure about trust, friendship and finding hope in the darkness.
Because even the smallest light can help someone find their way home.
