Before there were stars, there was stillness.
Before there was flame, there was a question.
What if there was motion?
From that first movement came dragons, not merely creatures of fantasy, but living expressions of grief, joy, memory, courage, silence, love, and transformation.
Across twenty-three interconnected tales, readers meet Spiralborn and a remarkable gathering of dragons, each carrying a different way of moving through existence. Some dance with fire. Some carry storms. Some hide inside mirrors. Some have forgotten how to begin. Together they create a sanctuary where every rhythm belongs.
Written and illustrated by Maggie Mondello, Where Dragons Dance blends mythology, philosophy, and lyrical storytelling with original black-and-white illustrations inspired by illuminated manuscripts, celestial maps, and symbolic art.
This is not simply a collection of dragon stories.
It is an invitation to slow down, wonder deeply, and discover the place where your own spirit learns to dance.
