A vast, golden savannah, rich yet inhospitable. A unique culture among the elves who live there, seemingly thriving yet as delicate and easily damaged as a spider-web. A threat to their entire existence that they do not know how to handle. When she was a young woman, Leoberan, a priestess of Heladias among the Savannah elves, met a peculiar, wise, and uniquely powerful dwarf named Ulfgar. He had to leave Manzipal, where she had trained to serve the god of wisdom alongside him, on an urgent mission back to his homeland, far, far to the west, but she knew, somehow, that he would return at the moment she and her people needed him. This story picks up Ulfgar's life story approximately five decades after the end of his journals, https://www.wattpad.com/story/404091793-22-ulfgar%27s-journal and almost two centuries after the attack of the Herba https://www.wattpad.com/story/404005164-21-black-dragon-tales . Black Dragon Tales can be skipped by readers but at the very least chapters 58 and 59 of Ulfgar's Journal should be read first, or Leoberan's relationship with Ulfgar will make no sense.

Dragons! In the Four Realms, Dragons live ordinary lives, they follow the deities, they are real, complex people, they laugh, they cry, they get angry, they hurt, they are afraid. This is a collection of sixteen stories about some of the dragons of the world of the Four Realms. Some are broken into chapters but most are short and comprise a single chapter. I advise readers at the very least to make themselves familiar with Dragon Isle, https://www.wattpad.com/story/402934511-6-dragon-isle, or else some of the lore and some of the backgrounds of the characters featured in this collection might be missed. This is not essential of course, and some of the stories would likely be enjoyed as they stand. The story, Kelly's Sons, follows directly on from two characters met in the short stories, Three Siblings. The dates of these stories overlap with Three Siblings, Hurbek's scholar, with sections of the stories about the paladin Kohtaal and with the Little Imi children's stories. A timeline will be added at the end of the collection I've marked the collection as mature due to the themes of a couple of the tales, although most of the stories are fine for anyone to read. Note that the cover image, of the young green dragon Ichas learning to paint, does not belong to me.

~Wattys 2025 Winner~ BLOODLINES: THE BLOOD WITCH Book One of the Bloodlines Trilogy When Morgan Doran inherits her family's ancestral estate, she expects dust, secrets, and maybe a little madness-not a haunting, a legacy of forbidden power, and a warlock sworn to kill her. But Callum Rook isn't just any warlock. Bound by blood and prophecy, he arrives at the castle with a mission-to stop the rise of the last Blood Witch. Yet Morgan is nothing like the monster he was raised to fear. She is human. Fierce. Magnetic. And when he chooses love over legacy, everything unravels. As Morgan's powers awaken, ancient forces rise to claim her. Her bloodline carries not only the power to destroy, but the memory of betrayal, sacrifice, and a curse that spans generations. The deeper she falls for Callum, the more dangerous their love becomes. With enemies closing in and her destiny hurtling toward a tragic end, Morgan must decide: will she accept her fate, or rewrite it in fire and blood? Darkly romantic, chillingly magical, and emotionally devastating-Bloodline: The Blood Witch is a gothic fantasy of love, power, and the price of defying prophecy.
