About the Author-Artist
Hello! I'm Yukimi Lumaris (she/they) and I go by Lumaris most places on the 'net. I've been writing and illustrating for 15+ years and it's been a long, slow, nonlinear journey, but it has been a wonderful one nonetheless.I have a kiddo, a dog, a deaf cat with heterochromia, three additional cats, I'm named after my mom's childhood friend, and I dream of one day making art and writing full time. (til then, it's the 9-5 grind, and dreams after hours)I'm excited to share my art, characters, and stories with others.

Echoes of the Past: Book One
LAW OF THE DRAGONS
eta release day: May 30, 2026
Prince Rowyn was considered weak as a dragon, a secret that couldn’t leave the palace and mandated an elusive life. Remaining out of the public eye kept everyone safe. His twin sister was the face of the dragon monarchy, and he would remain in the shadows. He’d long come to peace with such a life; there was comfort in solitude and routine.Then whispers of war reached the shores.Every nation on edge, it landed on Rowyn to decide whether to build an alliance with the enigmatic dragon king of the south - or to send someone else in his stead. The decision was on his shoulders. He couldn’t possibly handle such a task, could he?Such worries faded into the background when he met the king’s guard, a human bearing a mystery in one hand, and an accusation in the other. One who challenged what he thought was true, invoking a sense of justice Rowyn had no choice but to follow.To make this alliance, he’ll have to step outside of the shadows he coveted, unravel a harrowing mystery, and lean into the arms of a stranger-turned-friend—perhaps something more.**
