One day, Nikulas can take it no longer and flies over the mountains, determined to find her. But the world beyond their valley is wider than he'd expected. And his presence isn't as unnoticed as he assumed.
In this prequel to the Dragons of Kaitstud series, follow Nikulas as he triggers Varvaara's fears, demonstrating to all of the continent that the dragons survived.
Clarissa has always lived more in the world of daydream and fiction than in reality. In her writing she explores purpose and belonging across worlds. Having never found an actual portal to faeryland, she creates her own fantastical worlds where dragons, fae and other magical creatures rule.
She now lives in the Netherlands with her family, where she writes as much as they will let her. When not reading or writing, she drinks too much tea and has a burgeoning obsession with Bundt cakes.
Clarissa is the author of the "Dragons of Kaitstud" and "Lost Princess of Starlight" YA fantasy series, and the "Expat Life" series of non-fiction guides for families moving, and living, abroad.
