Miskunnaor: The Dragon Who Slept
About this ebook
She loved individual humans across their brief lifetimes. A girl who climbed the mountain on a dare and sat down beside her calmly and said: you're real, then. A philosopher who spent three years asking genuine questions. A patient boy who left food for seven years before she acknowledged him. She did not give up on humans. She gave up on the particular moment the world had arrived at: too hurried, too careless, too convinced that anything worth knowing could be known quickly.
On the night before she slept, a shimmering presence arrived and told her: She is coming. It will be a while yet. But she is coming.
She closed her eyes and dreamed for centuries: Runa's laugh, Vaelthrax's voice, the light over the lake in every season, the red-haired girl taking shape gradually in the long sleep's patient darkness. A quality of certainty. Something that already knew how to look at a thing directly and not flinch. Something that would knock on a mountain with the confidence of a person who has decided that if a door exists, it must be possible to open it.
She felt the knocking long before she heard it.
MISKUNNAOR: THE DRAGON WHO SLEPT spans centuries to tell the oldest story in the Crown of Flames universe. It is the story of wisdom withdrawn from the world and the small, persistent, unfrightened love that called it back.
Includes Jungian analysis of the Senex archetype and a call to action: The Wisdom That Chose to Wake.
For those who have chosen rest over a world grown careless — and for the ones who arrived and made the waking worth it.

About the author
Tiffany Solter, PhD is a mental health professional, educator, advocate, and lifelong seeker of magic whose writing explores the boundaries between life, death, justice, and the profound connections that define us. Born into a family of mountain people spanning Wyoming and Colorado, she grew up shaped, largely, by two grandmothers who taught her, one through train journeys across the West, the other chasing shooting stars across the plains, that anything is possible.
A survivor of a near-death experience in 1996, Solter spent decades integrating what she encountered in that "warm place where light is everything" into a life of healing work, academic achievement, and fierce advocacy. She holds a doctorate with a dissertation on grace and recovery, and has worked alongside peer counselors, nurses, and mental health teams she considers among the most transformative teachers of her life.
Her advocacy voice is unflinching and deeply personal. In "Be a Man": The Violence Society Ignores, Solter turns her clinical expertise and lived experience toward a crisis our culture has long refused to see: domestic violence against men. Drawing on research, survivor accounts, and her own family history, she challenges the archetypal and institutional blind spots that leave male victims invisible, unbelieved, and without adequate resources. The book is equal parts gripping fiction, Jungian psychological analysis, and practical call to action. It is complete with resource guides for survivors, supporters, military families, and children. It is the work of someone who has sat in clinical rooms with these men, loved them as family, and refused to stay silent.
She lives in what she calls Camelot, a home she and her husband Jeff manifested in childhood whispers, surrounded by family, familiars, motorcycles, and what she simply calls the magic.
“Between Worlds” is her memoir. "Be a Man" is her battle cry.
