“Fingerprints In The Water” – Book Release & World Ocean Day Event
Join us for the exclusive premiere of “Fingerprints In The Water” – the latest addition to the captivating Draconim series – on Sunday, June 8th, 2025 in celebration of World Ocean Day!
Virtual YouTube Premiere Event
Experience the debut of our powerful book trailer that follows teenager Kai from Cape Breton as he discovers the devastating truth about our oceans through the eyes of dragons. Watch as the invisible crisis of microplastics, ghost gear, and chemical pollution is brought to light in this moving story about youth activism and environmental awareness.
About the Book
“Fingerprints In The Water” combines compelling eco-urban-fantasy with urgent environmental themes. When Kai begins untangling shorebirds and seals from ocean debris, he discovers a deeper, more insidious threat to our waters. Connected to dragons, he and other teens form a network of young environmental advocates who refuse to look away from the crisis beneath the surface.
Special World Ocean Day Bonus
The book includes a practical appendix featuring a real-world water testing program that schools and communities can implement. Turn fiction into action with this hands-on guide developed by the book’s characters but applicable to our world.
Join the Movement
This event is more than just a book launch—it’s a call to catalyze action for our oceans and climate. The Draconim series inspires readers to recognize their power to effect change, with or without dragons.
