“Books inspire me and take me to places I’ve never been. That early love of books gave me the foundation and inspiration to create stories and new worlds with our vast and beautiful English language,” ~Acosta.
In The Fire Chronicles: Whispers of the Dragon, readers are introduced to Khan and Drea—brother and sister—who are suddenly thrown into a world they don’t understand. Together, they face one challenge after another, relying on each other and finding strength they didn’t know they had. Along the way, they must fight to overcome darkness and protect what matters most.

Her story is filled with heart, adventure, and moments that will stick with readers long after they turn the last page. It’s a story not just about magic and mystery, but about discovering who you are and standing up for what’s right.
“I wanted to write a story that makes people feel something,” says Acosta. “I’ve always loved creating new worlds, and I hope this book inspires young readers to be brave and keep going—even when things feel impossible.”
The Fire Chronicles: Whispers of the Dragon is perfect for readers aged 10 and up who enjoy fantasy, adventure, and meaningful stories about growing up and finding your place in the world. With its fast-paced plot and emotional depth, this book is a great pick for teens and anyone who loves getting lost in a good story.
Leigha Acosta has always had a passion for storytelling. She started writing at a young age and dreamed of publishing her own book one day. Now, with The Fire Chronicles, she’s sharing that dream with the world. This debut marks the beginning of what promises to be a bright future in writing.
