Two timelines. Two boys. One invisible dragon.
Ziggy, a gentle-hearted boy from the enchanted village of Mistlebrook, once learned to calm his invisible anxiety dragon, Flicker. Now he's a budding dragon whisperer, called to uncover the forgotten legacy of those who came before him - the original guardians of the Whisperfold, a mysterious, living boundary between time itself.
Elliott, a present-day artist haunted by isolation and social anxiety, stumbles upon a desk filled with strange old scrolls and sketches that seem to move on their own. When his drawings begin to mirror the past, he realizes he's not imagining things - he's connected to something ancient. Something waiting to be seen.
Across centuries, the two boys begin to sense one another. Through drawings, dreams, and emotional resonance, their lives start to interweave through the Whisperfold - a fragile thread of time that responds not to magic, but to memory, breath, and brave hearts.
Together - though separated by centuries - they must uncover the truth of a forgotten girl lost in the Fold, face a timeless library that remembers everything they tried to forget, and battle inner dragons that grow louder in silence. What begins as a personal journey soon becomes a race to preserve the past, protect the present, and open a path for the future generation of dragon whisperers.
Beautifully written with emotional depth, The Dragon Whisperers: Riftwalkers is an empowering allegorical fantasy that speaks to anxious, sensitive, and neurodivergent readers of all ages. Ideal for classrooms, family reading, or therapeutic guidance, this story gently explores the power of mindfulness, breath, and storytelling to transform inner fear into quiet strength.

The Boy at the Back of the Class, Inside Out & Back Again, A Monster Calls, and Anne Ursu's The Lost Girl

✔ Gentle fantasy without magic
✔ Invisible dragons as metaphors for anxiety
