The dragons did not choose the strongest. They chose the one who remained. Kane Jackson has spent his life feeling invisible. The oldest son of a father who left and a mother who built a new life without him, Kane learned early how to stay quiet, work hard, and expect nothing.

In the mountain kingdom of Aeridor, dragons choose their riders from the boldest and strongest. No one expects them to choose the boy who stands at the edge of the crowd. But when Vaerathon, the ancient King of Dragons, descends from the sky and chooses Kane before the entire High Flight, everything changes.

Far to the north, corrupted dragons known as Wyrm carve massive rings into the mountains—rings that pulse with green fire and threaten to tear open the sky itself. As war spreads and trust fractures, Kane must learn what it truly means to carry fire. Not the kind that destroys. The kind that protects. Because strength is not always loud. And sometimes the greatest power is refusing to disappear.

Wings of the Forgotten is the first book in The Heartstone Saga—an epic young adult dragon fantasy about belonging, loyalty, courage, and the fire that was always yours. Perfect for listeners who love dragon riders, rising heroes, and stories about standing tall when the world expects you to stay small.
