The Red Dragon and The Little King

The Red Dragon and the Little King

Book 1 in the Seven Dragons Series
An early chapter fantasy for readers aged 7–12

Where do they come from? Where do they go?

One moment, Liam is building a palace on his bedroom floor.
The next, he’s wearing a crown and ruling a kingdom.

At just ten years old, Liam finds himself suddenly crowned king, surrounded by towering halls, endless corridors, and adults who expect him to have all the answers. But Liam doesn’t want power or praise. He wants something familiar. He wants a good book.

So when he discovers an ancient, mysterious volume hidden deep within the palace library, the Book of Beasts, he does what any curious child would do.
He opens it.
He reads it.
And by accident he lets something out.

Now a red dragon is loose in the kingdom, and the “little king” must find a way to fix a mistake he never meant to make. With no sword, no magic, and no experience, Liam must rely on kindness, clever thinking, and a quiet bravery he never knew he had.

The Red Dragon and the Little King is a gentle, imaginative fantasy adventure with a classic fairy-tale feel, perfect for children gaining confidence as independent readers. With short chapters, clear storytelling, and a relatable hero, this story shows that true courage isn’t about being fearless, it’s about doing the right thing.
