Hated by the people she's sworn to protect, dragon rider Neely Lynch searches for her stolen dragon while struggling to control the dark powers inside her. ***** After the Culling of Naughton -- a horrific slaughter that led to the murder of several dragon riders and the destruction of two separate armies -- Neely Lynch is on the warpath. Unbeknownst to most, Neely and her friends survived the Culling and are determined to reunite with their kidnapped dragons at any cost (even if that means leaving a trail of broken and bloody bodies behind them). But finding her dragon soon becomes the least of her problems when Neely discovers her disappearance after the Culling has only added to her reputation as the infamous Vidalin Rider. Hated and scorned by the people she's sworn to protect, Neely must find a way to prove she's not the villain everyone thinks she is before her dark and deadly powers, which are slowly growing beyond her control, transform her into the very thing she's trying not to be. [The Rider's Legend can be read as Book 3 in The Rider series, or as a standalone -- but note that it will spoil Book 1 and 2] [[word count: 150,000-200,000 words]]

Book Two in the Riders Series - Behind the magic and splendour of Valaxia, lies a darker world of torture, betrayal and deceit. One that Neely Lynch has become too well acquainted with; her life contained to the cells of Acheron and her soul hidden from the one who shares it. It festers, growing dark just like those who came before her as she fights to survive in a world that only wants to see her gone. The tide in Valaxia is turning, the truths of history rearing its ugly head. She will learn, they all will learn just why Valaxia fears the Vidalin Rider.

Especially when she is bonded to a breed of dragon that is feared above all and thought to be extinct until then.

Blamed for a lethal disease she did not cause, a reclusive necromancer sets out to cure the sickness and save a town before any more victims perish. *** Draped in a cloak of blood and deemed a wicked monster, Evylyn is an immortal necromancer, feared enough to silence any mention of her name. As the accused source of a deadly disease, paired with her infamy in necromancy, she avoids the town of Ensceas at all costs. But Evylyn's fate is decided by a coin toss, and she's forced to break free from her chains of destiny, nearly paying with her life. She's rewarded by a bounty hunter tracking her down, hungry to give her the sanguinary death she deserves. In her eleventh hour, a fellow demigoddess gives her two things: a second chance, and a way to weasel her way into the hearts of those that despise her. Simply, she must remedy the incurable disease that she allegedly caused, preferably before the entire town of Ensceas falls victim to its sickness. Thankfully, Evylyn's infamy didn't come from thin air, and if there's anyone that can rival death, it's her. ----- ❈ ----- INCLUDES: ❈ Sapphic demigoddesses ❈ Badass sunshine x soft-hearted grump ❈ Magical, mysterious malady ❈ Cute baby animals FEATURED ON: ❈ @highfantasy Featured High Fantasy Stories, @OpenNovellaContest's Longlist ❈ @Fantasy, @Romance, @highfantasy, @darkfantasy, @mythandlegend, @StoriesUndiscovered 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝘿𝙖𝙩𝙚: 02/01/2023 𝙀𝙣𝙙 𝘿𝙖𝙩𝙚: 4/17/2023 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙙 𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩: 28k 𝙂𝙚𝙣𝙧𝙚𝙨: High Fantasy, Romance, Adventure 𝘾𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧: @ZoeAlamort © 2023 [First Edition]

Animosity between Humans and Faeriekind has long plagued the lands of Orphic, but began to fade in recent years. However, the newfound peace between species balances on a very thin thread which may soon break. With the emergence of a group known as Ironblades, Faeriekind is once again in danger. These Humans will stop at nothing to see all Faeries, and anyone born of Faerie blood, burnt to ash. Kalian Deirdre may be his people's last hope. It is up to him to infiltrate an Ironblade unit and uncover the true nature of their plot against Faeries before it's too late, but that will prove difficult. Moira Lev is an Ironblade Commander and well known for her hatred towards Faeries. Getting close to her won't be an easy task, and remaining undiscovered will be even harder. Regardless of the risks, Kalian is determined to succeed. He has to, or it will mean the extinction of his species as a whole. Warning: This book, while being a work of fiction, still deals with real elements. There are chapters dealing with sexual content, gore, PTSD, child loss (prior to current story), genocide, torture, and other topics which some might find triggering.

Ancient Blood Series: Book 1 - They were born in the utter blackness of the beginning. Their cries were the harmony in the world's first song. Rich, wild magic soothed them, like the gentle touch of a mother. It was said that their very presence was the beginning of what the world would become. For hundreds of years, the human race has been growing side by side with the Ancient species; dragons, elves, fae, and many more. Rhia Kincaid is a human paramedic with a good heart, a determination to help people, and just wants to get through the day with a smile on her face. Everything she knows begins to change when she meets Nolan Wes, a powerful vampire with several lifetimes full of secrets just trying to get away from the turbulence of politics. Little do either of them know that a war is on the horizon with crosshairs aimed directly at the heart of the known world. - This story has been given a Mature rating for sexual content.
