Rise of the Shadowfire
Grace and friends return for a new adventure in this second installment of the bestselling City of Dragons series!
Ever since the battle in Hong Kong, Grace and her friends have been trying to find a way to get to Paris. When Nate suddenly appears and whisks Grace away to the Dragon King's lair, she learns that Daijiang and his underlings are searching for an ancient relic that will let them subjugate the dragons, and Grace needs to find it first!
With Grace's burgeoning Hùnxuè powers, the team must get to Paris and stop Daijiang's plan. But their new ally, Dr. Kim, may not be all she appears, and Daijiang has formidable allies of his own: a strangely familiar accomplice and a terrifying, powerful dragon that could threaten all of Paris.

Jaimal Yogis
As a writer, surfer, and seeker, Jaimal Yogis has always been drawn to the places where inner worlds meet outer adventure. His stories don’t just entertain—they reflect a lifelong search for meaning, often unfolding at the edge of the ocean or within the rhythm of ancient myth. Whether crafting lyrical nonfiction about mindfulness or diving into the dragon-filled skies of middle-grade fantasy, Yogis writes with a grounded heart and a curious spirit.
Raised in California, he ran away to Hawaii as a teenager in search of waves—and maybe something more. That journey would inspire his bestselling memoir Saltwater Buddha, a coming-of-age tale that wove Zen teachings with surf culture. The voice he found there—introspective, clear-eyed, and gently humorous—has remained a signature across his work, from adult reflections like All Our Waves Are Water to his deeply imaginative City of Dragons series for younger readers.
