A page from the book

The glass castle sleeps in the mist. On the balcony, Claire waits with a pink cape draped over her shoulders. Every morning, the bell Tinta rings a single note, clear and round, and the sun rises. Today, nothing. The sky stays gray. Peony, the little pink dragon, hiccups a spark. “Hic! Is she late, Your Highness?” Claire hums Tinta's note.

That is page 1, with the example hero. In your book it carries the first name you choose.
