The Dragon Below The Mountain

Some creatures were never lost. They were waiting to be remembered. When twelve-year-old Ava Hart discovers her grandfather, Professor Elian Hart, has disappeared, she finds more than an empty house. Hidden beneath the floorboards is his missing journal, marked with strange symbols, old warnings, and one impossible word: Dragon. With her friends Leo and Mira, Ava follows the trail to Dragon Mountain, where the ground breathes with hidden fire, ancient doors open beneath the stone, and a secret order called the Hollow Crown is already searching for what lies below. Deep inside the mountain, Ava uncovers a chained dragon, a living fire-heart, and the truth about why some creatures were never meant to be forgotten. To save her grandfather, Ava must follow the clues, face the danger, and discover whether courage means acting while afraid.
