The art of creating a Shield Contact, also known as an ancient form of black magic, is the written agreement between two people, where one pledges to become the protector of the other for life. The protectors, known as Shields, must attend to the every whim of their contracted master, known as a Wielder, and on rare occasions, even give their life to save that of their Wielder. Shields are highly frowned upon by many, seen as a lower class of person, though only the rich are able to afford the price that comes with making a Contract. Bound by their Contracts and physically unable to harm their Wielders, Shields are forced to do as they’re told without so much as a complaint. Lucas Evernight, Shield of the famous Lightenhart family’s daughter, doesn’t agree with the way his fellow Shields are treated and despises the fact that the Evernights have been Contracted as Shields for the Lightenhart family for generations. Sent away to a military base for nine years to become as strong as he possibly can, Lucas begrudgingly returns to the Lightenhart household to take up his position as Alice Lightenhart’s Shield. Upon meeting the kind hearted Alice, Lucas’s view of Wielders begins to change, as Alice shows him that life as a Shield doesn’t need to be filled with misery. As Alice and Lucas grow up together, a beautiful friendship blossoming between them, tragedy suddenly strikes the Lightenhart family. Blamed for the horrible tragedy, Lucas is banished from the Lightenhart’s home and sent away forever, much to Alice’s dismay. A few dismal years pass after Lucas’s banishment, when the city of Rukia is invaded, and Alice’s life is put in direct danger. Setting out to rescue her, Lucas jumps right into the fray, not realising that the danger threatening to take his Wielder’s life, is quickly escalating into a national crisis.

Something is not quite right with the Rider of Legend. Something is terribly wrong. Yet when Akira refuses to admit this she faces the danger of becoming her own worst enemy and losing everything she ever worked for. This time, the stakes are higher than ever before. This time it's not just a battle to save the Lands but a battle that will decide the Rider of Legend's ultimate fate. A fate, that no one may have seen coming or even dreamed possible. It all comes down to this.

500 years in the future, out of the ashes of her ancestor, a new black dragon has risen. Once again the Rider of Legend is called on upon to help and defeat this evil. Yet when her enemy comes up with the ultimate weapon she finds that even she, may not be able to stop what is about to happen. This time, riders from both the past and the future must unite and join the Rider of Legend in a battle more intense than ever before. Yet what none of them have foreseen is that things have been set into motion, things that will change everything. Nothing will ever be the same again. The beginning of the end starts here.

A new challenge appears, a new battle begins. Once again the Rider of Legend must fight to save the lands, only this time she finds herself five hundred years in the future.

Facing the most powerful man in the Lands armed with nothing but a sword and the hope that she could prevail, was not the direction Akira saw her life going in. After witnessing her family's death she had stayed away from it all, living in hiding. Yet when she discovers that her dragon is a Dragon of Legend and together they are to challenge Haiden, the ruler of the dark Lands, her life plummets into chaos. Taken in by the Academy, where young dragon riders are trained to fight, she must rise up and prove herself worthy of the name of the 'Rider of Legend'. Yet as Akira finds out, fighting for an almost hopeless cause when no one believes in you, is not easy. With all odds stacked against them, Akira and her dragon must fight for their own lives as well as try to fulfill all expectations and free the Lands from a tyrant's rule once and for all.

There was a time when the king of the human world raged war between humans and dragonkind, forcing their rulers to seal the portal between both worlds and leave the one thing they loved above all else behind. Now, in a land full of turmoil, one huntress learns of her bloodline and how she alone has the ability to harness her dragon's power and save both lands. Will she be able to free the human citizens from their tyrant leader and save her own people from extinction? Or will she fall prey to those wanting to use her powers for their own greed? *Currently working on re-writes of this story.
