    The Dragon Constellation by James Voorhees | Found Family, Free Will & Frontline Heroes [Book Discussion]

    🐉 What do you do when destiny finds you—and it’s nothing like you imagined? The Dragon Constellation is the soul-stirring first book in The Ambassador Chronicles by James Voorhees. Inspired by real experiences as a frontline worker during the COVID-19 pandemic, this sci-fi fantasy adventure is more than a quest—it’s a reckoning with fate, trauma, healing, and heroism. As a band of unlikely allies unite to face cosmic forces and personal demons, themes of found family, love, second chances, and self-determination rise from the page. With grit, humor, and deep humanity, Voorhees crafts a world where every person can be the hero—and where every scar has a story worth telling. 📖 Purchase The Dragon Constellation on Amazon https://amzn.to/4lNgZTU 💬 Can we still choose our path—even when the stars seem to say otherwise? ✨ Subscribe to our newsletter https://whttr.beehiiv.com/subscribe 🌐 Visit our website https://whttr.wordpress.com All Our Links https://linktr.ee/whttr Disclaimer: Some links contain affiliate links, meaning WHTTR will earn a small commission when you purchase through our link at no additional cost to you.
