In the world of Serathor, where dragons and mortals share a bond forged by ancient magic, a forgotten darkness stirs. Long ago, the world was shaped from the fractured essence of Primordia, a being of unimaginable power. From its division came the land, the dragons, and the mortals-each imbued with a portion of its magic. But with creation came destruction, and lurking in the shadows of the Null Sea is Vorathos, a malevolent force seeking to return Serathor to chaos. Valira, a young Dragonbound from the once-peaceful kingdom of Veloria, has always been able to feel the bonds between dragons and their riders. As a Soulweaver, her ability to mend or sever these magical connections is both a gift and a curse. But when she uncovers a mysterious Dragonstone and begins to sense the approach of an ancient darkness, she realizes her power holds the key to saving-or destroying-the very balance of Serathor. Unbeknownst to her, Thalrik, a warrior from the frozen kingdom of Arenfal, carries a secret weapon that could tip the scales. The Blade of Sorrow, a relic capable of severing the bond between dragon and rider, is in his hands-though he does not yet know the devastating power it holds. As their paths cross and the Nihil Brotherhood-a dark cult devoted to Vorathos-seeks to awaken the void, Valira and Thalrik must navigate their growing connection, torn between duty, destiny, and the future of their world. With war brewing between the kingdoms and the reawakening of ancient forces, the fate of Serathor rests in the hands of those who hold the shards of Primordia's essence. Will they rise to defend the fragile balance, or will they succumb to the darkness lurking beneath the surface? The dragons of Serathor are stirring. The world is on the brink of chaos. And only the most powerful Dragonbound can stand in the way of ruin.

"I'm going to help you like you've helped me, Genesis." "I haven't done anything..." Her forehead creased with confusion. "You didn't know me before I came here. I was a lot like Romulus; cold, bitter, aimless, until I met you." He tucked another strand of hair behind her right ear as the wind blew through it before pulling her into a tight hug and kissing her forehead. "I've never known warmth like you, Genesis." The urge to kiss her was never as strong as it was in that moment, but Roman knew that the time hadn't yet come. Instead, he closed his eyes and tilted the side of his head onto hers as she clung tightly to his torso, holding her head firmly against his chest. The wind picked up wildly, but neither of them dared to let go. • • • In the alternate universe of Asteria, an assembly of gods and goddesses known as The Hexad creates a new earth in which all inhabitants are destined to have a soulmate.

Now, Mathena must embark on an epic quest to find the fragments of her sister's essence scattered across the Earth. With each fragment she discovers, she hopes to resurrect Morgana and reignite their lost powers. But the remnants of their mother's influence linger, and unknown dangers await Mathena at every turn. Her journey is one of seeking-of power, redemption, and the chance to undo the curse of a mother's wrath.

But when he meets star athlete Ryan Sullivan in therapy, can friendship lead to more? ***** When Andrew 'Jacky' Jennings ends up in therapy after an English assignment gone wrong, he doesn't expect to find his high school's star athlete, Ryan Sullivan, sitting in the same waiting room. After all, he and Ryan couldn't be more different: football captain, future valedictorian, and all-around nice guy, Ryan is the school's golden boy, while Andrew is known for his permanent snarl, being openly gay, and losing his left arm (along with his father and sister) in a car accident. But when Andrew learns they actually have a lot in common, he's surprised to see past the enigma that is Ryan Sullivan and his seemingly perfect life.
