Long ago, when the world as we knew it was still young, there were said to be 4 mythical dragons, each wielding a different elemental power: Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire. As the Earth’s creators, their destiny was to keep it in balance for all time—until the Fire Dragon Rallix, with a ravenous appetite for power, revolted against his brethren in an attempt to establish dominion over the world, leaving only the Earth’s humans to defend it. These brave warriors, otherwise known as Knights, were all sent to challenge Rallix, only to fall, one after another, until one legendary Knight known as The Black Knight sealed him away, imprisoning him in the fiery depths of the Underworld. Now, 1,000 years later, Rallix threatens to break this seal and begin his reign over the world once more, leaving only three modern-day children to stand against him, a 15-year-old boy named David Levinne, his older brother Kevin, and his younger sister Zoey, for destiny has chosen them to defend the Earth against Rallix’s vengeful tyranny, just as the Black Knight did 1,000 years ago.

England: circa 1310 A.D. Few are blessed with the burden of foresight. Few could feel the wind changing, or see the skies darkening; a storm was brewing. For centuries, those with magic and those without lived together in relative peace. Alas, all good things must eventually come to an end. Twelve sorcerers, condemned to centuries of slumber, would soon awaken. During a time of religious reign, their awakening would be the catalyst that turned man against magic forever. So would begin the witch hunt, the slaughtering of magical creatures once awed. Some would perish; most would hide. Others would build an army in retaliation and the world would be at full out war. All this, with the threat of a dark cult hellbent on resurrecting the one being that should not be resurrected ever looming. Indeed, dark times lie ahead. It has been said: “A man does not become great by having it easy; it is adversity that pushes him to greatness.” If that were true, then Tahir and his companions had enough adversity to become some of the greatest people ever to live. This is their story.

A MODERN MEDIEVAL FANTASY #31 in Fantasy |Book 2 of the Fifth Daughter Trilogy| Davenport has returned to take over Fantasy and the Riders are dispatched under the command; 'kill or be killed.' It's a fight to the death war; no surrendering and no prisoners. The flags of Legend and Lore have joined, the Demons are rallied, and Smoke is on a mission. Reports have arrived from all over Fantasy. Vampires are being defanged and Fairy Dust collect-ed. But there are no real leads. No definite answer as to who is killing these creatures and no one knows where all the stolen objects are being taken or what they are used for. Taking the well-known name of an assassin and thief; Sinder Zane, Smoke goes undercover to find out the truth behind all the bad stuff going on in the background of the real battle. What she finds, though, could change everything. When Cai is taken, Smoke will do anything and everything to get him back, even betray her own knowledge of what is right. She's not a leader. She's not a queen. She's just a girl wanting a normal life and everyone who underestimates that could find themselves at the sharp point of her sword. Starting in Fairy Tale, kidnapped to Graceland, Smoke travels to Urban, and then to the heart of Red Peak, where the story of Fantasy could very well end. Smoke and Cai are back to test the boundaries of not just their bond to each other, but also Smoke's with her friends and family; to her country.

The Kingdom's glory days are long gone. It once rang with laughter and happiness giving testament to its greatness. Mankind was at peace with its powerful allies, and the promotion of knowledge was held above all else, giving rise to incredible prosperity. All things were right and calm in the kingdom. Seemingly overnight, flames and screams rang through the kingdom, scarring its beauty indefinitely. Weeks, then months passed until now there is only silence and servitude. The oppressive ruler ever watching from her castle of fire and death. The masses have risen before in attempts to free themselves, only to be cut down quickly and shown the futility of their hopes. There are powerful forces and beings, lying in wait, hidden from the world. The time will come when they will be joined and given the opportunity to bring about peace. Will these heroes rise to the challenge? Or will they fall with the rest? ***** Still editing this bad boy. As soon as I finish editing up to the current chapter, I will continue on with more chapters. Thank you guys for your patience. Also if you have any artwork that you believe would look good on the cover of the book I would love to see it.

"What the hell?" I took a step closer to the mirror, staring at my reflection in disbelief. The person looking back was still me, but at the same time it wasn't. I had the same thick, dark, curly hair. The same hazel eyes. The same olive skin with a light dusting of freckles (ugh) scattered across the bridge of my nose. But my curls were now streaked with highlights. And not the subtle, golden-brown ones that sometimes appeared during the summer. No, these were an aggressive, dazzling blond that went from the roots of my hair all the way to the tips. It looked like I had spent a full day getting my hair done in some upscale salon. Never mind that I had never set foot in such a place since the day I was born. My eyes appeared somehow wider and more luminous. The colour brighter, my eyelashes darker up against them. And, when I looked closely, my pupils seemed to be slitted almost like a cat. I looked down at my body. My skinny arms-which had always refused to gain any definition no matter how hard I exercised-were lined with flat, wiry muscles. My bony shoulders were now curved and smooth. My scrawny legs were toned like a dancer. I reached down and lifted my shirt, revealing two subtle lines running vertically down my perfectly flat stomach, hinting at the rock-hard abs underneath. My whole body was rippling with strength. Like liquid steel.
