About this audiobook
The Night I Kept Vigil for a Dragon is a quiet, emotional fantasy about a care worker who is pulled from his ordinary life into a fading forest where an ancient dragon lies at the edge of death.
Ren Watarai has spent ten years sitting with people in their final hours, offering presence where medicine can no longer reach. One morning, after a night shift that leaves him questioning the meaning of his work, he is summoned through a mysterious fog into another world.
There, guided by a white fox named Hisoka, Ren meets Ignus — a once‑mighty dragon burdened by centuries of grief, regret, and a loneliness no creature should carry alone. Through a single long night, Ren listens as Ignus shares the stories no one else remained to hear: a village misunderstood, a warning turned tragedy, and a beloved hatchling lost to time.
This is a story about witnessing someone’s truth, about the quiet power of being present, and about how even a fading life can leave a mark when its story is finally heard.
