Chomchura
Patrick Chen
In a kingdom ruled by a dragon for five centuries, one girl's forbidden powers could reshape the world.
Chomchura, a humble farmer's daughter, lives in a society where social rank is determined by test scores-and magic is outlawed under penalty of death. But when she discovers a cache of hidden spellbooks, she's thrust into a dangerous world of power, secrecy, and rebellion.
As unrest brews across the land and whispers of magic rise once more, Chomchura must decide how far she's willing to go to protect her family, challenge a ruthless noble, and uncover the truth behind her country's long-standing tyranny.
Chomchura is a bold and imaginative young adult fantasy about hidden strength, class struggle, and the quiet defiance of a girl who refuses to stay silent.
