**Preview Only** When a wounded dragon falls from the sky, Claire Evans runs into a cornfield to rescue it. This isn't just any dragon, he's a shifter, one of six royal protectors, and helping him has consequences. Claire finds herself traipsing--or rather, flying--across the kingdom of Dragonwall. She must face Dragonwall's king. King Talon is not like those before him. Troubled and temperamental, he is scarred by more than the events that shaped him. Worst of all, he is mateless. With no queen and no heir, his subjects are demanding he abandon tradition and marry into nobility. There is a rising threat at his borders, whispers of a sorcerer. Soon, he will have greater problems than that of finding a wife. Modern meets medieval in this seven-book series filled with magical creatures and adventure. This epic fantasy is a slow burn romance that follows multiple POVs, woven together around Claire, a small town Indiana gal. If you've ever wondered what it might be like to get sucked into a fantastical world beyond our own, look no further! **Read Exclusively On Wattpad**

Animosity between Humans and Faeriekind has long plagued the lands of Orphic, but began to fade in recent years. However, the newfound peace between species balances on a very thin thread which may soon break. With the emergence of a group known as Ironblades, Faeriekind is once again in danger. These Humans will stop at nothing to see all Faeries, and anyone born of Faerie blood, burnt to ash. Kalian Deirdre may be his people's last hope. It is up to him to infiltrate an Ironblade unit and uncover the true nature of their plot against Faeries before it's too late, but that will prove difficult. Moira Lev is an Ironblade Commander and well known for her hatred towards Faeries. Getting close to her won't be an easy task, and remaining undiscovered will be even harder. Regardless of the risks, Kalian is determined to succeed. He has to, or it will mean the extinction of his species as a whole. Warning: This book, while being a work of fiction, still deals with real elements. There are chapters dealing with sexual content, gore, PTSD, child loss (prior to current story), genocide, torture, and other topics which some might find triggering.

The angels of Elysia are dying, and it's all Micah's fault. Stealing the Heart of Asariel was never intended as anything more than a harmless prank.

In an attempt to put an end to his troublemaking ways, he is tasked with recovering his fallen treasure. The crime-ridden city of Anhren is far from the sheltered life he's used to. With a multitude of greedy humans eager to make use of the Heart's magical properties on his tail, his only option is to team up with Corinne, a sharpshooter with killing thick in her blood, if he is to survive. If the Heart falls into the wrong hands, it will destroy everything Micah knows and loves. But if he's not careful, his own heart will prove just as deadly. -β™‘- [beautiful cover by @avadel] ~ Completed ~ May 2023 Editor's Pick

An aspiring knight unwittingly saves the dragon he was sworn to kill. But can he also win the dragon's heart and stop his kingdom from burning to ashes? *** It is tradition for knights to prove their worth by slaying a dragon in the Serpentine Mountains. For Laurence Montbow, an aspiring knight from a decrepit noble house, it's his only chance to save his family from losing their land, and to secure a good marriage. After a dragon hunt gone wrong, however, Laurence finds a naked elven man with amnesia instead. Knowing the guileless elf wouldn't survive on his own, especially when trapped in his enemy's land, Laurence reluctantly takes the man along and tries to help him regain his memories. This act of goodwill turns complicated as the elven man keeps worming himself further into Laurence's heart until it becomes hard to fight the attraction. But the elven man is not what he appears to be... and neither are the dragons from mount Serpentine.

I looked up horrified to meet his cold blue eyes as they peered down at me, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing some of his beautifully white teeth. "I beg your forgiveness, My prince. I did not mean to offend you by accepting your brother's invitation to dance." I swallowed hard, trying to fight the lump of fear that had started to build in my throat, "I did not think I was allowed to decline." Prince Thomas let out a little chuckle, "Oh, I am not mad at you, Emma." I shivered when my name left his lips, "You have just piqued my interest, that is all."

Out of her depth in an unfamiliar world, she soon finds herself wrapped up in the society of the Kels, the people who live under the sea. Desperate to get back to her island, she strikes an agreement with a squid-tailed boy whose sunny smile and knowledge of her language are a welcome assistance at first. Soon, though, she begins to sense that he's hiding something. Things take a turn for the worse when her way home gets complicated by the Kels' wars and several eerie myths about her people that may not be myths at all.

Naomi Cliffton believed she would go her whole life hiding her true identity. To the people of Tyrra, she is someone barren of magic and a social pariah. In reality, she is the last dragon shifter: a lone survivor of a race that was killed off for being a threat to Tyrra's hierarchy. In fear of being persecuted like her ancestors, Naomi has never revealed herself, until a chance encounter with one boy changes everything. Malcolm is not the simple guy he claims to be when they first meet, but the prince of Tyrra, escaping from the castle to avoid his royal duties. When street thugs uncover his ruse, they seek to abduct Malcolm and cross Naomi off as collateral damage. Desperate to save them both, Naomi transforms, unleashing her inner dragon. Exposed, Naomi has to accept the pact the king offers: her freedom in exchange for becoming Malcolm's bodyguard. Naomi joins Malcolm at his elitist school where she deals with prejudice from her classmates and growing animosity towards Malcolm's pretentious ways. But when someone tries to murder Malcolm, Naomi must put their differences aside to uncover the conspiracy against the royal family. As more threats stack up, one thing is clear: with a determined assassin after the prince's life, it's up to Naomi whether or not the killer succeeds.
