When smoke begins rising from the forests of the North Cascades, the world watches another wildfire become another headline. Officials issue warnings. Screens fill with maps and evacuation zones. Experts argue over what went wrong. Everyone wants to know how the fire can be stopped.
But the fire is not only a disaster.
It is a warning.
Hidden beneath the forest floor, embers have survived the winter, feeding on years of drought, suppression, and human certainty. As the flames grow beyond control, the ancient dragons hear what humanity refuses to hear: Mother Earth is not silent. She is hurting.
In Washington, fourteen-year-old Kyle is left alone on a mountain trail by the brother who has always made him feel like he does not belong. In the dark, Kyle is found by Mars, the ancient red dragon of fire, and drawn into a bond that reveals not only the truth of the dragons, but a family history connected to flame, loss, and responsibility.
Across the world, the other dragon-bonded young people feel the warning too. Jacob, Hannah, and Anne are still learning what it means to listen through the strange connection that ties them to the dragons and to one another. But as the Cascades fire races beyond control, governments turn to secrecy, force, and fear. Their solution may stop the fire, but it could create a wound far greater than the flames themselves.
Kyle, Jacob, Hannah, Anne, and the growing network of Young Dragons must find another path before humanity's attempt to control the disaster becomes a catastrophe of its own.
Blending dragon mythology, wildfire ecology, family grief, Indigenous land stewardship themes, and youth-led environmental action, Feeding the Fires continues the Draconim series with a young adult fantasy adventure about responsibility, reconnection, and the courage to choose a better way forward.
Fire is not only destruction.
Sometimes it is renewal.
Sometimes it is consequence.
Sometimes it is the voice of a world asking to be heard before everything burns.
