On what should have been the most exciting day of his life-graduation-Benjamin Thorne is met not with celebration, but with chaos, betrayal, and the mysterious disappearance of his parents. One moment he's a boarding school graduate with dreams of college; the next, he's plunged into a surreal realm filled with dragons, magic, and kingdoms ruled by beings in shades of cobalt blue. As Benjamin grapples with grief, unanswered questions, and a growing sense of isolation, he begins to experience vivid dreams-dreams that might be more than mere illusions. Dreams that call him into another world. In this richly layered young adult fantasy, K.S. Riggin invites readers into an enchanting, often perilous universe where the line between dream and reality blurs. With the help of unlikely allies-including a feisty dragon named Garland and glimpses of his lost parents-Benjamin must find the courage to face truths he never imagined and uncover a destiny written beyond the stars. Whimsical and profound, The Land of Dragons and Dreams is a coming-of-age journey through portals of heartbreak, wonder, and self-discovery.
