The Fruit of Dragons

A machete-clad girl emerges from the dense forest floor, beckoning you into the shadows. Curiosity propels you on a psychological journey through the wild landscape of your mind. A tale of fear, hope, and the power of dreams.

The Fruit of Dragons: A Journey Through the Shadows invites you to step into a world where darkness whispers secrets, moonlight guides the lost, and the air hums with the echoes of forgotten dreams. It’s a delicately whimsical journey of the soul—into both the refuge and the riddle of the untamed human mind. Each turn of the page draws you deeper into the unknown, where curiosity stirs, fear awakens, and the aching question lingers: What becomes of the dreams we abandon?

A short, evocative tale unfolds across lush, full-page illustrations, painted in rich, earthy hues, and printed on thick paper stock. With a fabric spine and gold foil stamping, The Fruit of Dragons is designed to be a treasured keepsake—not only for your coffee table but for your heart.

For the introspective, the seekers of beauty, the souls who feel so much—this is a book to be held, to be felt, to be returned to again and again.

“This is a beautiful piece of writing. An adult fairytale almost, an otherworldly atmospheric story, that reads well and is rich with lyrical poetic imagery.”

The Fruit of Dragons is written for adults who are drawn to thoughtful, beautifully illustrated stories that linger long after the final page. It speaks to readers interested in emotional healing, psychological growth, self-discovery, resilience and the complexities of being human. If you enjoy symbolic storytelling, literary picture books, visual narratives, or books that gently explore identity, grief, belonging and personal transformation, this story was created with you in mind. It is for those who believe that pictures can carry emotions words alone sometimes cannot, and that stories can become companions on the journey towards greater self-understanding.

Brenner Lowe's illustrated books combine original artwork with psychologically rich storytelling, creating reflective reading experiences for adults. Her work explores themes of emotional wellbeing, inner growth and the quiet transformations that occur when we meet ourselves with curiosity, courage and compassion. Rather than offering simple answers, her stories invite readers to pause, reflect and discover their own meaning within the pages.

  • I love this book. I read it and enjoyed the story that much, I later asked my partner to read it to me whilst I closed my eyes (laying in the hammock in the sunshine) and savoured the delight. Beautifully written and evocative.

  • A beautiful, challenging read on loss, fear, and self-belief. It subtly asks: what dreams have we lost, what do we still hold, and how might we suppress their realisation?
