C J Gryffin: The Color of Silence, Gebunden

Klappentext

In 1930 Atlanta, five-year-old Darius Turner lives in a world that does not understand him. He does not speak. He cannot explain the storms that overwhelm him. His neighbors whisper that something is wrong with the Turner boy, and even those who love him most have no words for the silence that surrounds him. But Darius is not empty, broken, or lost. He is listening to a world no one else can hear. When a radiant blue dragon named Azure appears in Darius's dreams, everything begins to change. Night after night, Azure leads him into Somnoria, a hidden realm of crystal mountains, living starlight, and Dreamers' Dragons who protect the hopes of sleeping minds. There, Darius discovers that his silence holds power, his differences carry meaning, and he may be part of an ancient prophecy tied to six extraordinary children scattered across time. But beyond the beauty of Somnoria, darkness is moving. The veil between dreams and waking life is weakening, and a force long hidden is beginning to reach for the world Darius calls home. To survive what is coming, Darius must take his first steps toward trust, language, and courage-and learn that the very things others fear in him may be the key to saving far more than himself. The Color of Silence is a heartfelt historical fantasy about family, resilience, autism, and the transforming power of being truly seen. It is the first book in the Dreamers' Dragons series.
