The Skyclaw Guardians: Wings of the Realm

The river that keeps Oakhaven alive is vanishing—and the danger is spreading. A merchant wagon is dragged backward by a shadow-beast, strange tracks lead upstream, and hungry wyverns descend on the river road. From their hidden mountain sanctuary, four young hawk-dragons must discover what connects the attacks before villages and woodland creatures are caught in the crisis.

Aero is swift and brave, but protecting everyone at once takes more than speed. With Kestrel scouting, Peregrine holding the line, and Zephyr listening to the forest, he follows the missing water to a knight’s fortified riverworks. There, the dragons uncover a perilous choice: force the gates open and the flood could endanger the homes below, but leave the river blocked and the shadow-beasts may overrun the roads. Aero must learn to trust his companions, face the consequences of a rushed decision, and find a plan that gives Oakhaven a chance.

Filled with daring flights, a mysterious forest, and action rooted in teamwork and care for the natural world, this middle-grade fantasy invites readers to soar alongside a memorable band of young protectors.
