  Within the silent vault of Peakshadow, where gem echoers resonate crystals with whispers of the deep and avalanche survivors bear scars of the mountain's wrath, echoer Lira calls resonantly to survivor Bram, whose solitude hides a voice buried under snow. Their echoes, resonated in quartz vows and scar-kissed tones, call love—or trigger cascades of rocky despair. As they delve crystal-laced caverns and vault-bound ledges, echoed by stone guardians and scar rivals, Lira's resonant craft merges with Bram's survivor grit, revealing a mountain legend of echoed harmony. When a shattered crystal summons rockslides, they must echo the call to steady the peak. In the resonance of crystal echoes, where every quartz vibrates with memory and every scar sings of endurance, their resonant bond becomes the call that awakens the silent stone.

  Given that there’s such little margin for error in a submersible, many submarine losses remain sources of intrigue and mystery, and few rival the disappearance of the Soviet submarine K-129 in 1968. The Cold War was in high gear, and under the waters of the world’s oceans, Soviet and American submarines were in intense competition, pushing the boundaries of new technologies. Some of these submarines carried nuclear missiles that carried more destructive power than all the bombs dropped by the U.S. Army Air Force throughout World War II, including the nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Other submarines, the hunter-killers, were designed to find and destroy these missile-carrying submarines. All of these submarines engaged in their activities while aiming to avoid detection by the other side, establishing a clandestine conflict that was carried out far from the gaze of the public but still strategically vital. If either side could gain a notable advantage, it could abruptly change the fragile balance of power. 
  	Both sides lost submarines in the 1960s, but when the Soviets lost K-129 in 1968, it triggered one of the most interesting episodes of the Cold War, and something that reads like the plot of a techno-thriller. A race developed between the Americans and Soviets to locate the wreck, and when the Americans found it, they realized the submarine sunk in one of the deepest parts of the ocean, far beyond the depths at which conventional divers or submarines could operate. As a result, the CIA, aided by eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes, clandestinely began a lengthy and incredibly expensive project to build equipment that might allow them to recover and examine parts of the sunken submarine.  
  	That operation, Project Azarian, is still controversial over 50 years later.

  Kohei Fujiwara has never seen a big ryu in real life. Those dragons all disappeared from Japan after World War II, and twenty years later, they’ve become the stuff of legend. Their smaller cousins, who can fit in your palm, are all that remain. And  
  Kohei loves his ryu, Yuharu, but …  
   
  … Kohei has a memory of the big ryu. He knows that’s impossible, but still, it’s there, in his mind. In it, he can see his grandpa—Ojiisan—gazing up at the big ryu with what looks to Kohei like total and absolute wonder. When Kohei was little, he  
  dreamed he’d go on a grand quest to bring the big ryu back, to get Ojiisan to smile again.  
   
  But now, Ojiisan is really, really sick. And Kohei is running out of time. Kohei needs to find the big ryu now, before it’s too late. With the help of Isolde, his new half-Jewish, half-Japanese neighbor; and Isolde’s Yiddish-speaking dragon,  
  Cheshire; he thinks he can do it. Maybe. He doesn’t have a choice.  
   
  In The Lost Ryu, debut author Emi Watanabe Cohen gives us a story of multigenerational pain, magic, and the lengths to which we’ll go to protect the people we love.
