WHERE THE DRAGON WAITS ILLUSTRATED BY GAIA ALESSI

Gaia’s striking cover unleashes a visually rich fantasy world packed with dragons, wolves and a pangolin, capturing the magic and adventure at the heart of this imaginative quest.

Out this month, Where the Dragon Waits by Tom Moorhouse (David Fickling Books) follows Ed and Steff as they navigate magical realms, encounter mysterious creatures and seek the elusive dragon atop an impossibly tall spire - and Gaia Alessi’s bold, narrative composition brings every twist to life with mythic energy.

A standout example of atmospheric world building and evocative character design, this cover showcases Gaia’s talent for translating fantastical fiction into unforgettable cover imagery.
