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)

(#1 in Lily Awards in Paranormal/Supernatural, #1 in the Lion Awards in Mystery, #1 in the creative writing awards for paranormal/suspense.) Manchester High School has an old legend. A boy close to graduation was found missing one day and presumed dead. No forensic evidence was found at the school, at his home or anywhere, not a soul but he knew how he died. They say he was murdered by a jealous teenager who saw him with his girlfriend one day. They also say that his spirit still roams the halls freely. Tormenting the freshmen with fresh images from his demise. Tara Banks is taking a test one day, a test on animals and plants, asexual and sexual reproduction when a sudden cold overwhelms her. A hoarse voice at her ear. One could assume it was Alastair, the boy who died. But what did he want from Tara?
