Inhaltsangabe

In a sweeping children’s fantasy inspired by Welsh and Russian folklore, a young dragon must cross a frozen world to save a friend—and discover what courage really costs.

Roderick has never known anything beyond the green hills of Wales. But when he is suddenly carried across the world to the wild, volcanic reaches of the Kamchatka Peninsula, he finds himself alone in a land of ash, ice, and ancient magic.

Deep within a snowbound forest, he meets Snegurka, a mysterious snow maiden born of winter itself. She is beautiful, kind—and slowly fading. When her heart begins to love a humble woodsman, the warmth of that love threatens to melt her away forever.

Determined to save her, Roderick sets out on a perilous journey across Russia’s vast wilderness, where myth walks beside reality. Along the way, he encounters cunning trickster spirits, haunted lakes, firelit mountains, and legends that test not only his strength—but his understanding of truth, sacrifice, and bravery.

Perfect for fans of classic, character-driven fantasy like Charlotte’s Web, The Horse and His Boy, and A Wizard of Earthsea, this illustrated middle-grade adventure blends mythology, moral depth, and heartfelt storytelling into a timeless tale.

Roderick’s Perilous Journey is the first installment in the Wings of Wisdom series—stories that explore courage, friendship, and the quiet power of choosing what is right.
