Dragon Magic is the beautiful tale of a young girl who has never fit in—not even in her own family. And before the story even starts to get better, it gets worse.

Criticized by her embittered mother, Chloe can’t even get excited about being selected as a dragon rider candidate—until she’s actually there. But before she can savor the joy of even being a potential rider, she gets passed over by all of the dragon hatchlings and is once again left on the sidelines.

And if that wasn’t bad enough, her mother disowns her, leaving her to fend for herself in the woods. But it is here, of all places, in the lonely and fearful darkness, that she begins to find her way.

An adventurous coming-of-age fantasy that will tug at your heartstrings and inspire your own search for identity, this story leads readers through a fully developed world of dragons and magic. But for all its fantastical elements, its people are just as real and familiar as those in our world as they deal with family drama and self-doubt.

A good read for people of all ages, young girls will be particularly inspired by Chloe’s courageous journey.

About the Author

Daphne Ashling Purpus has long loved the written word-as a reader, writer, and teacher. Currently soaking up the beauty of Vashon Island in the Pacific Northwest, she is a retired librarian and teacher who still volunteers as a tutor at the local alternative high school, Student Link.

Purpus is both a poet and a fiction writer. She has published A Year of Haiku as well as three fantasy novels: Dragon Rider, The Egg That Wouldn't Hatch, and now Dragon Magic.

When she's not tutoring, writing, or reading, you can find Purpus quilting lap quilts, which she calls "portable hugs" and donates to anyone in need of such cheer, or caring for her three dogs and three cats.
