In a village above the cloud sea, 11-year-old orphan Zhi Ging’s only chance of survival is to become a Silhouette, an apprentice to the immortals.

When she is unexpectedly chosen as the Second Silhouette following a strange dragon attack, she finds herself in an underwater realm, learning new skills and competing in thrilling challenges. But rumours are spreading of a growing dark force, and Silhouettes seem to be disappearing. Zhi Ging begins to realise that there is so much she has yet to learn about the world of the immortals – and herself.

Will Zhi Ging be the one to save her world from the greatest evil it’s ever known?

The unmissable first novel in the must-read magical fantasy series of 2024. Join Zhi Ging on an incredible adventure to an underwater realm, a floating market and a jade mountain as she journeys to fulfil her extraordinary destiny . . .

Paper Dragons: The Fight for the Hidden Realm is perfect for 9+ readers of Nevermoor, Dragon Mountain and Amari and the Night Brothers.
