* Currently being re-edited!* The Fourth Installment of the Rider's Series Following the battle for Ithrall, the Ashbourne Riders find themselves leading a country that is on the brink of ruin, where the odds are stacked against them and they have everything to lose. --------------------------------------------------- Valaxia has been thrown into certain turmoil. The Council is scattered and Ithrall is gone. No longer hated but feared by the country she has sworn to protect, dragon Rider Neely Lynch knows that they are the last defense against Acheron and a broken country. But the stakes are higher. The armies are scattered. The leaders are divided and Acheron's goal reaches beyond Valaxia, to the human realm that knows nothing of magic or dragons. To fail would mean the end of Valaxia and magic forever. Cover credit goes to the wonderful @CarrKann. Check out their beautiful work on their profile. x

Hated by the people she's sworn to protect, dragon rider Neely Lynch searches for her stolen dragon while struggling to control the dark powers inside her. ***** After the Culling of Naughton -- a horrific slaughter that led to the murder of several dragon riders and the destruction of two separate armies -- Neely Lynch is on the warpath. Unbeknownst to most, Neely and her friends survived the Culling and are determined to reunite with their kidnapped dragons at any cost (even if that means leaving a trail of broken and bloody bodies behind them). But finding her dragon soon becomes the least of her problems when Neely discovers her disappearance after the Culling has only added to her reputation as the infamous Vidalin Rider. Hated and scorned by the people she's sworn to protect, Neely must find a way to prove she's not the villain everyone thinks she is before her dark and deadly powers, which are slowly growing beyond her control, transform her into the very thing she's trying not to be. [The Rider's Legend can be read as Book 3 in The Rider series, or as a standalone -- but note that it will spoil Book 1 and 2] [[word count: 150,000-200,000 words]]

Book Two in the Riders Series - Behind the magic and splendour of Valaxia, lies a darker world of torture, betrayal and deceit. One that Neely Lynch has become too well acquainted with; her life contained to the cells of Acheron and her soul hidden from the one who shares it. It festers, growing dark just like those who came before her as she fights to survive in a world that only wants to see her gone. The tide in Valaxia is turning, the truths of history rearing its ugly head. She will learn, they all will learn just why Valaxia fears the Vidalin Rider.

Neely Lynch wants nothing more than to stay hidden from the spotlight. Raised in the human world, she knows only stories of her true home. A place where dragons rule the skies and wolves prowl in the dark of night. A place where her family name speaks of a terrible and bloody history. A history that no one wants to remember. Fated to be a Dragon Rider, a powerful breed who rule by fire and sword, Neely must learn to hide her heritage in a country which would seek to destroy it. Especially when she is bonded to a breed of dragon that is feared above all and thought to be extinct until then. Demons rise and threaten the fragile peace in Valaxia, forcing Neely to either accept who and what she is, or watch her friends and country fall. (Book One in the Riders Series)

She goes by many names. But there is only one name she wants to hide. A name being whispered throughout the land. Rumors are spreading of a warrior who has tamed a dragon. The First Dragon Rider. As a woman used to betrayal and pain, Lilia finds her home in the company of the vicious Rainer Thieves. The pain that haunts her is secondary as her life is filled with the danger of her job, and shared with the dragon bound to her soul. Then, war threatens to up-heave Lilia's life as forces that she cannot control collide and she finds herself separated from the dragon she is bound too and forced to join a strange group of the King's soldiers, where their leaders claims her as his Fate has taken hold of her life and the journey is unforgettable. ** This is the story of Lilia Merek, the first RIder. The story is a stand alone book to my Rider's Series and can be read without reading that series.**

Notorious for their bonds, shifters value the most sacred of all - the Promised Bond. It ties two souls together, unifying them. Except for Yara's. Her soul, apparently, has two counterparts, not just one, which is a huge problem for everyone involved. Suffering from severe PTSD, Yara struggles to forget the hardships of the Ior'Gean war she's been forced to endure the past four years. When she sees no other way out but to leave, she moves back to Pebble Creek. Having her childhood crush nearby only complicates matters, especially when she's forced to learn about the supernatural regions of Espheros that have been hidden from her all her life. That she's a part of that supernatural world and has been for much longer than anyone thought is a difficult pill to swallow. Coming into this amidst a pack feud gives Yara no time to adjust at all. Pack fights don't happen without reason, and there are always two sides to each story. Just like there are two handsome alphas on each side, giving her their own versions of history... Is Yara playing for the right team? Someone is bound to get hurt. The only question is - who, and to what cost? As soon as feelings are involved, rationality becomes feeble. Yara has been put to the ultimate test - to choose who her true soulmate is. ✳ ✳ ✳ ✳ If you enjoy a steamy shifter-romance where love-triangles happen in the midst of a pack feud, then you've come to the right story. ✳ ✳ ✳ ✳

BOOK THREE - promised series Espheros is inhabited by more than just the human species. Shifters and Immortals walk the earth amongst them, hiding in the shadows. There are some humans, however, who are very much aware of what moves through the darkness. And now, in order to restore the natural balance the Heretics have disrupted, Catherine must finally come to terms with who she is. Bloodshed in war is inevitable. Can an emotion as strong as hatred truly be eradicated? Though Catherine is the key to saving the Ancients, her brothers weren't gifted with their own set of abilities for nothing either. They say family is everything. But will family be enough?

BOOK TWO - promised series Catherine's search for answers take a new turn as she fights her way through unknown territory. On the run, new hurdles are thrown her way that she needs to face. When her unique gift to manipulate emotions goes haywire, Catherine's struggle to attain control seems feeble. Trying to turn over new leaves, she's not only on a path to find a new home but to discover who she's really meant to be. The upcoming war grows closer with each milestone the new rogue pack passes, while Catherine's control wanes. Will she find her footing before war breaks out? Or is she doomed to fail? Emotions are not meant to be manipulated. But what if that's the only way to win the war? #author #theancients #book #shifter #romance #debut #novel #werewolf #dragons #fantasy #youngadult #debutnovel #shifterromance #werewolfromance #characterdevelopment #family #friendship #indieauthor #natalievirginia #fantasyromance #magic #suspense #books #writer #authornatalievirginia #missfantasyy #wattpad #drama #fatedmates #shifterromance #wolves #magic

BOOK ONE - promised series When a new family moves to Everett Valley, Catherine vows to find out what they are searching for in her secluded hometown that doesn't normally welcome new people. Catherine must choose between the council and her pack leader, her brother, once their safety becomes unstable and deaths rake through their home. When her Promised mate steps into her life with one, fiery sweep, he sets her life ablaze entirely. Leaving Everett Valley seems an easy choice, but life changing decisions never are. Especially because Catherine is connected to a much bigger war than the one sparking to life within Everett Valley's walls. And she certainly wasn't gifted with the power of controlling emotions for nothing. Even in war, emotions rule their leaders. And Catherine rules them all.
