Tears of Fire

A first time podcaster here to share one of my favorite novel series from my childhood. "The Fire Within" by Chris D'lacey. This phenomenal story was written for children roughly 8-12. Though the story has a great enough scale and a number of well written characters, I believe readers of all ages can enjoy this epic tale. I have not revisited this series since finishing it over 15 years ago. So go on the journey with me and experience the magic of dragons and ice.
