Natalie Fernandez has always lived her life with her head buried in the pages of a book. While people her age talk about summer trips and graduation parties, Natalie would rather dive into epic fantasy worlds, avoiding the messiness of real life. But when her parents drag her on a family vacation to the quiet town of New Haven to celebrate her high school graduation, Natalie can't hide behind her novels anymore. Or so she thinks. At the pop-up market, Natalie stumbles upon a mysterious stand run by an eccentric old woman selling used books-dusty, worn, and smelling of adventure. One book catches Natalie's eye, an ancient tome with no title but an intricate cover that feels alive under her fingertips. Drawn to it, she opens the book-and everything changes. In an instant, everything shifts. One moment Natalie is standing in the market, and the next, she's thrust into a bizarre new world-where she is confronted by talking animals, and a mysterious little boy. To get back home, Natalie must piece together a legend of the Sun, Moon, and Star, a tale that holds the only key to her escape. But it won't be easy. As she journeys through this strange land, she faces challenges that push her to the limit-trials that test her bravery, her cleverness, and her heart. As Natalie navigates this strange land, she realizes that living inside a story is far more perilous and uncertain than she ever imagined. Forced to confront fears she's always hidden from, Natalie discovers that maybe, just maybe, the real world has its own kind of magic. But first, she must survive the trials of the book and find her way back-if she even can.

Set in the world of Middle-earth, during the time of The Rings of Power, Melisane, the youngest sister of Finrod and Galadriel, unlike her sister's mind-reading abilities, possesses the divine gift of prophetic dreams, able to glimpse the future, past, and unseen realms. As a child, she was captivated by tales of dragons-creatures of wind, sky, and fire-and often dreamed of them, their power and grace haunting her thoughts. In the aftermath of the Elves' flight to Middle-earth, the loss of her brother Finrod, and Galadriel's departure to hunt Sauron, Melisane is left battling grief and feelings of abandonment. Despite her skill as a deadly commander and warrior, she struggles to find purpose, withdrawing from those who care for her as her dreams grow stronger. One fateful day, she stumbles upon a newly hatched, abandoned dragon-just as her dreams had foretold. Believing this moment signals a change in her destiny, Melisane takes the creature under her care. Concerned by her reclusive nature, Elrond, the Half-elven, and an old family friend, seeks her out and is shocked to find her raising the dragon. Agreeing to help her, he assumes she will eventually let it go, but their shared bond over the creature slowly rekindles their long-lost friendship-and something deeper. As shadows loom once again over Middle-earth, Melisane and Elrond must navigate the growing darkness, all while facing the uncertain futures that their hearts and dreams reveal. Will their newfound connection withstand the threats closing in, or will the starlight of their bond be consumed by the shadows? _ "You sleep coiled; tightly wound.
