Synopsis

Claim your dragon. Claim your truth. An epic adventure awaits!
'Eragon’ meets ‘Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda’ in this queer YA fantasy adventure that will leave you breathless until the last page.
With war threatening to shatter Ivearth's 500 years of peace, Prince Xavier embarks on a perilous quest to the mystical isle of Hom to claim a dragon and secure his place as king. But a dragon can only bond with someone true to themselves, forcing Xavier to confront his deepest fears. His truth, if revealed, could destroy the monarchy, the kingdom and the faith he serves.
Accompanied by a newly-heartbroken magical creatures expert, and a fearless steamboat captain, Xavier braves mermaid-infested waters and faces off against fearsome dragons. But the trio soon learns Hom calls on them to confront the obstacles that lie within. For Xavier, dangerous feelings for someone unexpected becomes the trigger to confronting all he has suppressed.
Get swept away with this action-packed coming-of-age adventure filled with love, friendship, and self-discovery. Will Xavier be successful in his mission? Or will his journey lead him down a different path, one that could alter the course of history forever?
Praise for Quest of Awakening:
"Loved it!... it was in all honestly a beautiful story that brings a world of colour and light to the dark times we're living in." – Sally Altass, The Witch Laws
"Every teen should read this book, if for nothing more than being able to hear the words of their elder LGBTQ+ humans: we see you, you belong here, don’t give up, because we are waiting for you to shine!” – Chey M. Mongeon, The After

The Quest of Canceling Your Weekend Plans  I can’t remember the last time I rushed through a book so quickly! I downloaded the audiobook, aware I probably wasn’t the target audience.
