Aedhan is a young dragon who was appointed to protect the village but fell asleep in the forest eighty years ago. With the aid of Rinn’s adventuring uncle Erik and his partner Hesekiel, they investigate the mystery of his enchanted sleep, but Rinn’s real challenge is to help Aedhan come to terms with feeling that he cannot get back the time he has lost.

So a prequel, I guess? I was thrown by the the timeline in this one. But ultimately, it’s another beautiful quiet story for children and adults.

Oh goodness! This is such a sweet little story! I really wish that I had some little girls to give this book to. My boys are a little too into Minecraft and Dinosaurs to appreciated a story about Tea Dragons. I sped through this one, but loved staring at the art and entire design of the book. Beautiful!
