The Manuscript

FOLKLURE

When a forest-elf girl and a LARP-obsessed human boy accidentally unleash a long-dormant dragon, they’re swept into a chaotic cross-realm adventure involving a temperamental living sword, a grumpy retired war-unicorn, and a secret organization determined to wipe out magical beasts. But as Hydra hunts the creature threatening both worlds, she discovers the line between hero and monster isn’t as clear as she thought.

Humour, folklore, and heart — a fast-paced coming-of-age adventure about identity, belonging, and the courage to choose connection over fear.
