About the book

About What the Dragon Wrote

A dragon once painted seven souls into existence. Six remember who they are. One does not. In a forgotten corner of the world, where stories are painted into being and ink flows like memory, a soul wakes with no name and no past. Her body is a canvas, her mind a blur, and her only clue lies in a dragon's unfinished signature. Drawn into the flickering world of the Carousel House, a place of shifting rooms and shadow puppets, she discovers others like her: Marginalia, who leaves notes in the air. Threadsong, who stitches time. Grin, who wears every smile but his own. Together, these painted souls search for the Seventh, the missing piece in a story too broken to remember. As forgotten pages come to life, and truths unravel like thread from a seam, the girl without a name must ask the question no story wants to answer: If you were written into being, can you write yourself free? Lyrical, surreal, and profoundly human, What the Dragon Wrote is a myth spun from ink and grief, a tale of identity, artistry, and the families we find when the ones who made us are gone.
