 Rinn has grown up with tea dragons inhabiting their village, but stumbling across the real dragon turns out to be a completely different experience! Aedhan is a young dragon who was appointed to protect the village, but fell asleep in the forest eighty years ago. Rinn’s adventuring uncle Erik and his partner Hesekiel come to the village at the same time as Aedhan is woken up. There is a mysterious creature in the surrounding forest of Rinn’s village that is putting creatures and folk to sleep, and it is Erik and Hesekiel’s job to find it. 

This tea dragon story is a sort of backstory for characters introduced in the previous book. It was just as elegantly done, even with the increase in more mature content. There is violence, depictions of blood, and death. But it is done with soft, gorgeous art and flowing story.

Really enjoyed the artwork, romance, themes, plot, and pacing. Liked that this one was a bit longer but didn't feel like it. I love and appreciate the queerness, animals, nature, fantasy, and magic, too!
