I've been working on this book for two years solid. It targets youngsters and is about art, ecology, fairies and dragons in an adventurous manner. It also has to do with the magic of the ancient cultures throughout the American continent. Ciruelo

Kume is a Mapuk child who loves to spend his days drawing dragons. His sister, Yssala, loves to sing, and dreams of communing with fairies. When peace throughout the valley no longer reigns, they must venture into the mountains to help a sorceress thwart forthcoming catastrophes. Dragons, fairies, wizards, Amazonian warriors and other inhabitants of the Andekhan Mountains all partake in this most daring and grueling of quests. The ancestral wisdom of these people comes back to life, and enlightens them to unearth the hidden power of art.
