Launch Event | The Last Ember: The Aerimander Chronicles Book 1

One Fateful Egg

Dungeons, crime syndicates and hilarity await you at the launch for the Kirkus starred debut from author LILY BERLIN DODD, The Last Ember: The Aerimander Chronicles Book 1.

Aerimanders were dragon-like creatures that could level entire cities -- but they are, supposedly, extinct.

Chemistry-minded Eva Alexander has recently opted for what she believes to be an egg-shaped piece of rubibium (an unstable explosive) as a twelfth birthday gift. Dusty, a resident of St. Ichabod's Dairy Production and Home for Delinquent Boys, is tasked with procuring this gift, which is in fact an egg-shaped egg containing the last aerimander.

What follows is an adventure that will force the young pair to come together as they navigate sinister crime syndicates, elite boarding schools, and an incredibly slow getaway pony named Gourd. As they race against time, their fates and that of the whole world are at stake. Because there’s one question no one dares to ask: What happens when the egg hatches?

With unforgettable characters, razor-sharp prose, and an incredible world to explore, this a truly magical middle grade read. Join us as we celebrate its release!
