A sweeping epic fantasy series full of mystery and adventure, rare jewels and mythical creatures. Ancient legends don't come back to life. Until they do... The vast, winged draykoni once ruled the skies of the Seven Realms, uncontested and unstoppable - so the stories say. But they are only tales. Aren't they? A shy young woman is about to learn that sometimes, even the most far-fetched story might prove to be the plain, simple truth. In book one, Draykon: When Llandry Sanfaer discovers a new type of jewel, her life changes forever. Wonderful and terrible, the gem exerts a strange influence over those who behold it. Soon people are dying for it - and Llandry herself becomes a target. This is only the beginning. In book two, Lokant: the long-vanished draykoni race have returned, but with them comes another mystery. Who are the enigmatic, white-haired sorcerers stalking the draykoni across the Worlds? And what do they want with Llandry? As war builds between humankind and draykoni, Lady Evastany must uncover the truth about her own unique heritage - before it's too late. In book three, Orlind: War has broken out between the humans of the Seven Realms and the long-lost draykoni race. As Llandry fights to defend her home, Eva begins a desperate quest into the heart of the mystical Lokant Libraries - a quest that will lead her deep into the mysteries of the long-lost Seventh Realm.

[SAMPLE] In a world ravaged by holy war, Ari clings to one truth: mouths lie, but blood does not. Haunted by the past and desperate for answers, he turns to Auovin-a demon whose secrets could unravel everything he believes. What follows is a journey of uneasy revelations and slow-burning desire, where love tangles with betrayal, and redemption is never free of damnation. Guided-and tormented-by Auovin, Ari must confront not only the hidden truths of the war but the shifting foundations of his own morality. Daevas: Volume One begins an emotionally charged saga spanning three volumes. It is a story of truth's cost, the pull of self-discovery, and the peril of being seen in a broken world. For readers of Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire, Daevas is a queer dark fantasy novel where love, monstrosity, and identity intertwine in devastating ways.

Florida Forest Service duty officer Ray Lumley is in love with a white fringetree. Not an I-read-Walden-in-high-school love; a sweaty, sappy, I-want-to-rub-against-you-'til-I-get-splinters love. It's awkward. So, he's relieved to learn that he's really hot for Trivia, the dreadlocked, radical environmentalist nymph who lives inside the tree. Better yet, she wants to share an eternity of Arcadian delights with him. But first she has to kill the man she holds responsible for a spate of forest fires--Ray's boss, a mid-level bureaucrat (and soccer dad) who she insists is the King of the Woods. -- King of the Woods, or Trivial Pursuit retells the myth of rex Nemorensis as an urban fantasy. Updates every Tuesday.

People always say you should make a wish when you see a shooting light in the sky but no ones said what I should do when the light isn't moving. You see I thought the same rule was applicable in both scenarios but I was wrong. I saw a bright light and I made a wish, nothing out of the ordinary just a simple wish but it opened the gate to a not so simple journey. My name is Arc it's short for Arcadio, which means 'truly brave.' It's a little ironic because I'm far from it but when my stupid wish causes a series of strange events to occur I will have no choice but to be brave...! This is a little demo of my story - My pupils shrunk as I gazed into the eyes of the beast that would soon bring me an early end. Its eyes were pure black. As I gazed I noticed the dark swirls that tunnelled around its pupils sluggishly whining into the centre where a luminous yellow light emerged. Its skin was pure black, not a single blemish could I see. It resembled a lion, a great ebony beast. Its main circled around his face like a decoration, proud and bushy like an honour it had earned. Its fur was sharp and bristle like. Such power ooze out of its body that even its hairs stood proudly on end. Paws the size of my face decorated with claws and a sharp array of teeth that spat blasphemy against the gods. Its teeth were tainted, a scarlet ting stained the ends of his teeth and a false tongue of crimson colour lurked behind it. Its face towered over me as a trembled in fear. Its back was darted with yellow stripes, like that of a zebra but this was different. The stripes moved like an ever changing patterns, illuminating a lime yellow glow to the surrounding. Its tail was long and ever slithering. It crackled in the air like a whip with granger.

The day started off like any other. Things went the way they'd normally go in the human world. Until the day came when 3 mysterious men showed themselves to 3 young women, once believed innocent, claimed to be sworn to their side as advisors, and deemed them royalty. Bestowing upon them the royal crowns to their homelands. Now queens, the 3 girls must uphold their royal status, carrying all the baggage that comes with it. They learn their tools and play their parts fairly well, until the day comes when a bold winged monster with scales like snow, claws like swords, eyes that gleam death, and a maw that sprays dragon fire; threatens the very balance of the vast new world they've come to know. "I see three stars hurdling towards the earth. They gleam like diamonds and fall like gravel, But what is this? One of them appears to be filled with doom....I wonder who it will be?"
