Description: In this first chapter, we meet Margaret “Emily” Blackwell, a young woman whose ordinary world is turned upside down by a mysterious invitation from Sorell Hall. As Emily prepares for a year-long internship — and a chance to honor her father's legacy — she finds herself drawn into a hidden world of dragons, ancient knowledge, and her own remarkable future. It’s a story about embracing ancestry, honoring the past, and following a path paved by those who came before.

Prologue II — The Keeper’s Awakening

As I grew into adulthood, the questions that gnawed at me as a child blossomed into something more—a deep, inexorable pull toward a fate I hadn’t chosen, but one that seemed to have chosen me.

The more I pressed forward, the thinner the wall between my world and theirs became. There were nights when I awoke to the rush of wings in my mind, days when I felt the tremor of an ancient power beneath my feet, and moments when a spark fell from my fingertips without a match to light it. Whatever this thread tying me to the dragons was, it flowed through my soul just as surely as my own pulse.

I realize now I am not a scholar observing from a comfortable distance; I am a keeper, a guardian — a link in a chain that extends back countless generations. The dragons are not creatures of the past; they are alive, hidden in the margins of our understanding, influencing, protecting, and sometimes challenging us.

In embracing this path, I must learn to navigate more than the physical — I must move through a rich, invisible world made of elemental magic, ancient messages, and the memories of those who kept this knowledge alive. I must piece together the stories, gather the ashes, and illuminate the hidden chapters of our shared past.

This is not a quest for the faint of heart. It is a pilgrimage for those who, when the dragons call, cannot pretend not to hear. Whatever lies at the end of this path — renewal or destruction, legacy or oblivion — I will follow it. I will become what I was meant to be.

The Keeper. The keeper of knowledge, the keeper of promises, the keeper of dragons.

— Suki Warren & Emily Blackwell

This book is for the wanderers and the adventurers, for the ones who feel the tug of something ancient, just beyond the veil of memory. For those who question what they've been told, who chase fragments of truth through shadow and silence. It is for anyone who has stood at the edge—of a map, a moment, a life—and whispered, Surely, there’s more than this.

To those who’ve carried burdens not of their choosing, who’ve felt out of place in their own story, To those who have failed, and yet moved forward—step by quiet step—into the unknown. May these pages remind you: There is power in your questions, beauty in your doubt, and magic in your persistence. Even an ordinary life can hold the extraordinary. Whether you are a seeker, a skeptic,or something unnamed entirely—this is for you.

Because dragons do not wait for heroes. They wait for hearts brave enough to open.

They wait for Keepers.

This isn’t just a fairytale — it’s what you’ve been waiting for… dragons.
