The Lost Heir

Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the weight of high expectations or feeling like an outsider within their own family. It is a powerful choice for children who are trying to reconcile who they are with who everyone else wants them to be. The story follows Tsunami, a dragonet who returns to her underwater home hoping for a warm welcome, only to find a world of political intrigue, secrets, and a mother who is not quite what she imagined. While the setting is a high-stakes fantasy world, the emotional core is deeply grounded in themes of belonging, sibling dynamics, and the search for identity. It addresses the complexity of family loyalty and the discovery that 'home' is sometimes found in the friends we choose rather than the places we are born. This second installment in the Wings of Fire series is ideal for middle-grade readers who enjoy immersive world-building and characters with rich internal lives.
