Grace and friends return for a new adventure in this third installment of the bestselling City of Dragons series!

Daijiang's continued pursuit of Grace has made it clear that she and Nate are crucial to his plan. But as her Hùnxuè powers grow stronger, Grace can't help but feel it's unfair she might be missing out on a normal school life. Other kids get to relax, watch movies with friends, and go on dates, while Grace is risking her life to save the world. Something has felt off about her connection with Nate lately, and she keeps dreaming of her father and his ominous insistence that she must wake the dragon kings.

When a trip to rendezvous with an old ally goes awry, Grace and her friends find themselves stranded in Tokyo with only one day to wake the Southern Dragon King. But with the race against the clock exacerbating tensions on the team, can Grace get back in sync with Nate and her friends before it's too late?

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.

In City of Dragons, Yogis brings together sweeping fantasy, Chinese folklore, and real-world emotional depth. His protagonist, Grace, may be surrounded by storm-wielding dragons and ancient secrets, but her courage, grief, and growth feel intimately human. These stories have resonated with readers across the world, not just for their magical landscapes, but for the way they hold space for identity, friendship, and healing.

Beyond the page, Yogis is a longtime practitioner of meditation and mindfulness—a thread that subtly influences his narratives. Whether he's exploring dragon lore or the ebb and flow of personal growth, his writing invites readers to pause, reflect, and see the magic in the everyday.

With his feet in the sand and his imagination in the clouds, Jaimal Yogis continues to craft stories that ripple across age groups, always returning to one quiet truth: every journey begins within.

City of Dragons

In a city humming with secrets and storm clouds, a girl discovers that her grief is not the end of her story—but the beginning of a legend.

City of Dragons invites readers into a vivid, emotionally layered world where ancient creatures aren’t myths—they’re real, and they’re waking up. At its heart is Grace, a young girl reeling from loss, who stumbles upon a hidden truth beneath the modern sprawl of Hong Kong: dragons are alive, and she’s bound to them in ways she never imagined.

What makes this middle-grade fantasy series stand out isn’t just the sweeping action or elemental magic, but the quiet moments between. Grace isn’t your typical hero—she’s flawed, vulnerable, and deeply human. As she grapples with her growing powers and the weight of destiny, the series explores themes of identity, cultural heritage, and the courage it takes to face your fears—both real and imagined.

Blending Chinese mythology, contemporary life, and a touch of Zen, the story balances epic adventure with intimate emotional arcs. The dragons themselves are more than spectacle; they’re symbols of inner turmoil and transformation, brought to life with breathtaking detail and nuance.

Perfect for readers who crave fantasy with heart, City of Dragons is a reminder that healing isn’t a straight line, and sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do is keep going—even when the sky is falling.
