SPOILERS AHEAD PLEASE READ A DRAGON'S VIEW BEFORE THIS BOOK!! With the fall of the dragon riders, it seems like all is lost. The alive dragons with and without riders from the battle are rounded up and put in an arena. A fighting arena for dragons to fight each other for the entertainment of many. The conditions are bad, however, one dragon has it worse compared to the rest. Thirak. Thirak used to be Mark's dragon. But after the final battle, Thirak was kicked aside for a better dragon - one who had been whispering evil into Mark's mind and corrupting him. Thirak now must face the difficulties of being riderless and face the battles in the arena - filled with dragons who hate him due to his rider and what he did. However, Thirak is slowly facing his problems head on and ramming them with his horns. Thirak now must find a way to free the dragon, make him for what he did and try and reinstate good dragon riders. But first, he must fight in the arena and face Mark in his cell - both equally deadly. ****************** Book two in Rising Dragons ( the first book is A Dragon's View).

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 lawless city controlled by teenaged hoverboard crews, a bad boy addicted to strawberry milk and a group of misfits who band together to conquer an area formally known as unconquerable. These are just a few of the discombobulating situations Sahara faces when she's accidentally transported to a world not her own. While this shy teenager would rather curl up with a book, she finds herself with no choice but to lead a hoverboarding crew of her own and aim for the top. Failure is not an option. That is if she ever wants to find a way to return home.

The Falcons are ready to go, and they want it all. Sahara finds herself with more than she bargained for when her crew's bluff calls on the unwanted attention of boarders throughout the city - inlcuding the Omegas. As secrets are revealed and new paths are discovered, Sahara can't help but remember Terrell's constant warning: Don't trust anyone. But does that include him?

Before Sahara there's another story to tell. It's the story of a city that was plummeted into chaos. The origin of the crews, of the creed, and most of all, the beginnings of the most powerful crew of all - the Phantoms and their Omega.

A new crew is rising in Regona. With it comes two choices, pledge allegiance or face devastation. Noctorious isn't here to play by any of the rules, they're here to win. Old powers fall but one crew remains untouched - the Falcons. As accusing eyes turn to the Phantom omega, questions arise. What exactly is Noctorious' goal? And what is Terrell's involvement? A new challenge is here, and Sahara finds the pillar she always looked up to is either under attack or not the person she thought. This time, it might be her turn to step in and help the Phantom.

Before the Falcons came to exist, the two liveliest members went through ups and downs of their own. With the same hair, same eyes, and same face, Arden and Reagan had to learn how to live with each other in times when it felt like the whole world was against them. Before they found their real family, they needed to discover what family meant to them first.

Given the chance to return to Regona, Sahara takes it. Times, however, have changed. Lithium City has stumbled across Regona and has taken it upon itself to restore the fallen to its former glory. The crews in Regona aren't quite on board. Mysterious disappearances are followed by a threat of a rebellion from the hoverboarders. The leader of the Falcons is willing to sit still...until it becomes personal. As Sahara and the Falcons race to save one of their own, they face a storm of unimaginable consequences.

Aerith always believed she was an ordinary mortal-clumsy, geeky, and completely out of place in the world. But on the eve of her 18th birthday, she discovers a shocking truth: she's no ordinary girl, but the long-lost daughter of the Fates, destined to rule the Underworld as Hades' queen. Thrown into the realm of gods and monsters, Aerith must learn to navigate her new life among immortal beings, where loyalty and power shift like the winds. Tutored by gods, pursued by ancient rivalries, and bound to Hades-a brooding, powerful god who's been waiting for her for centuries-Aerith faces the daunting challenge of learning how to rule an entire realm while still figuring out how to be herself. Can she rise to the challenge of ruling alongside the enigmatic Hades, or will the forces that oppose her destiny tear their fated union apart? With humor, heart, and a touch of magic, Aerith must learn the ropes of royalty and love in a world where even the gods themselves play by their own rules. How to be a Queen is a fun and fresh take on Greek mythology, blending romance, adventure, and self-discovery into an unforgettable journey through the immortal world.
