Tuesday's Tome - New Dragon City

 


Here is today's Tuesday Tome - New Dragon City by Mari Mancusi

New Dragon City is a gripping dystopian fantasy set in a world scorched by dragons. After a devastating apocalypse, the remnants of humanity are forced to hide underground for half the year—when dragons roam the skies, hunting without mercy. For the other six months, when the dragons hibernate, survivors cautiously emerge to reclaim what's left of their lives.

Three years into this harsh new reality, we meet Noah, a young boy living in a makeshift community in New York City alongside his survivalist father and a small group of survivors. While adults defend their fragile society, children like Noah scavenge for food, supplies—and hope. Noah has grown up believing dragons are the enemy, but everything changes when he discovers a baby dragon caught in a trap and makes the bold decision to save it.

This dragon, who later he finds out is named Asha, forces Noah to reconsider everything he thought he knew—not just about dragons, but about his own family. As he searches for the truth about his mother’s mysterious disappearance, Noah stumbles upon a hidden society where dragons and humans live together in peace, transforming what’s left of Columbia University into a symbol of hope.

Now, Noah and Asha must bridge the divide between their two worlds. Can they convince both humans and dragons that peace is possible?

New Dragon City is a powerful story about survival, empathy, and the courage to challenge old beliefs. With rich world-building and a heartfelt message, it’s a compelling read for fans of dystopian adventures and dragon lore alike.
