Desperate to keep her magic hidden, Katerina goes to great lengths to avoid dragons and mages. When she gets cornered by evil mages, her only chance at escape involves freeing a trapped dragon. * * * Katerina's biggest fear is that unscrupulous mages or dragons would discover her magic and use her as a living magical battery. When she stumbles into a group of evil mages trying to magically enslave a dragon, she releases the dragon to act as a distraction, hoping he would attack the mages while she escaped. But magic has rules, and when you free a dragon mage, it creates magedebt that they must repay, lest their magic fade. Forced to travel together, Katerina struggles to hide her magic as she accompanies Rakota and his friends while they hunt down the Shadow Mages. Rakota is one of many dragons who detest humans due to how many have tried to slay him, steal his treasure, or control him with magic. He has no desire for a rider, but when his childhood sweetheart shows up, she won't consider courtship unless he has one. As if evil mages with ancient spells aren't enough, word comes from the coast that the nagas are planning to invade and wipe out the humans. Goals and secrets clash as Katerina strives to keep her magic hidden, yet that very magic might be the key to stopping the war, and becoming Rakota's rider would give him the family he's always dreamed of. But all magic has a price, and to become a rider, she'd have to forfeit her freedom. Copyright November 2022. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy or steal this story.

At Valor Academy, power decides who matters. Amira Castania was never supposed to belong among the wealthy elemental heirs, beautiful fae, and demigods raised to rule. She is a sharp tongued girl from the slums of Ithican with no influential family, no protection, and absolutely no intention of letting anyone see how terrified she is. But the more Amira learns to control her Fire, the more her magic refuses to follow the rules. Keeping her head down becomes impossible. Especially when she catches the attention of Drax Umbranox, the dangerously powerful son of the High Enforcer. Cruel, arrogant, and impossible to ignore, Drax seems determined to discover every secret Amira is trying to bury. Every argument between them burns too hot. Every threat feels too personal. And beneath his hatred lies something neither of them is willing to name. As forbidden abilities awaken and powerful families begin watching her, Amira realizes Valor Academy was never simply a school. It is a battlefield built upon bloodlines, secrets, and magic powerful people would kill to control. Amira came to Valor to master one element. She may leave with the power to destroy its entire order.
