What Kept a Dragon

Inside a vast celestial library, young apprentice Lyra discovers a sealed bronze book that no scholar has ever been able to open. When the book chooses her, it reveals its impossible secret: a living metallic dragon named Aurum, hidden inside its pages centuries ago to survive a devastating war. But Aurum’s return awakens forgotten magic, forbidden records, and a buried weapon once used to hunt dragons. As the ambitious scholar Arthur tries to unlock the book’s power, Lyra learns the truth: Aurum is not a weapon, not a key, and not a relic. He is the last survivor of a war everyone tried to erase. To stop history from repeating, Lyra must protect the dragon from those who want to use him — even when saving the world may cost her the friend she just found.
