His Human father, severely injured in the war, struggles to walk. A brutal Winterfall clasps his mountainous kingdom in talons of ice. The people are starving. His family, his little sisters, depend on him to see them to Dragonmas Day. They need a miracle. But who believes in miracles anymore? Long ago, the mighty Dragon Santaclaws rescued Humankind and resettled them in the magical realm of Tyanbran – but Santaclaws and his miracles are gone, and his Dragons disappeared. Now, a stubborn half-Elf must brave blizzards and treacherous trails to bring food to the kingdom, and find winterberry to ease his mother’s suffering. What he discovers on this journey will shatter all unbelief. The lightning-born treasure he places beneath his Dragonmas tree changes everything, for wishes are different when it comes to Dragons. Wishes take wing, and come true. Book 2: A Hatchling for Springtide Little paws must not grow large. True to Keir's fears, the enemy is not slow to respond to a Dragon hatchling's birth.

Hunters scour the peaks, bringing storm and destruction. Meantime, managing a growing hatchling brings many new challenges. Eating his father's boots is one matter.
