JY Announces Svetlana Chmakova’s The Weirn Books, Vol. 2: The Ghost and the Stolen Dragon

This October, Svetlana Chmakova, the creator of Awkward, Brave, and Crush, takes us back to the spooky and supernatural world of The Weirn Books with The Weirn Books, Vol. 2: The Ghost and the Stolen Dragon! In 2020, we were introduced to Ailis and Na'ya, two young weirns faced with a dark mystery, in The Weirn Books, Vol 1: Be Wary of the Silent Woods. We at JY are super excited for the next installment in this fun and imaginative series with a story focused on Na'ya, the spunky weirn with a fascination for dragons!

The Weirn Books, Vol. 2: The Ghost and the Stolen Dragon

by Svetlana Chmakova

After her terrible adventures in the silent woods, Na’ya’s world seems to have returned to normal...that is, except for the nightmares that keep haunting her. What she needs is the power to protect everyone in case the evil scientist returns, and she has the perfect solution—she’ll turn into a dragon, once and for all! With help from Ailis and Jasper, everything seems to be going according to plan. But what’s that dark shadow slithering around the spell-casting range...?

Acclaimed author of Awkward, Svetlana Chmakova, returns to the fantastical night realm, full of magic, adventure, and...dragons!  

“As a lifelong dragon fan/nerd, I have been longing my entire professional life to get to draw a dragon in my own work, and that time has finally come!” says creator Svetlana Chmakova. “The Weirn Books, Vol. 2: The Ghost and the Stolen Dragon is not just a fun adventure—it’s also another glimpse into the vast mythology and world of The Weirn Books as I see it in my head, and I hope my readers will be as excited to read it as I was to write it.”

The Weirn Books, Vol. 2: The Ghost and the Stolen Dragon is scheduled to release in October 2024 in trade paperback, hardcover, and digital. Pre-order today!
