Synopsis

What if the scariest thing in the forest… just wanted to say hello?

Finley has conquered fire. Finley has learned to fly. But when it comes to talking to strangers — even friendly ones — Finley would rather face a thunderstorm than say hello first.

So when something enormous, ancient, and absolutely terrifying begins moving through the enchanted forest, Finley does what any sensible dragon would do: he hides. Immediately. Behind a tree root. Without question.

But then he hears something unexpected — a very small, very quiet sound. The kind that stops you mid-run. The kind that sounds, if you really listen, a little bit like loneliness.
