Paul Foster is a 17 year old boy, a white trash high school dropout without even a GED to his name, an adulteress ex-wife he married at 16, uncaring (at best) parents, who's left behind his hometown for what he felt would be an uncaring world. Once finished with Basic Training and Advanced Individual Training, he finds himself assigned to 2/19th Special Weapons Group and figures that nothing in an uncaring world matters. Exposed to nerve agent. Fighting Soviet soldiers over control of a 15 square mile section of Western Germany. Seeing friends die. The crushing weight of his duties in an uncaring military steadily grinds away at him. However, in the fire and blood of the hell of 2/19th he finds a small spark. A dancing firefly in the middle of misery and terror that has wound around him and held his heart in her tiny hands. Amid the blood and gunfire of a war that nobody knows or cares about, he's found friends and his place in the world. But now he has to return home. To a past he tried to leave behind. When everything goes bad, the tormentors of his past quickly discover the simple fact of 2/19th. Like his fellow soldiers, Paul Foster may look like a man, but he isn't. He's a weapon.

**Preview Only** When a wounded dragon falls from the sky, Claire Evans runs into a cornfield to rescue it. This isn't just any dragon, he's a shifter, one of six royal protectors, and helping him has consequences. Claire finds herself traipsing--or rather, flying--across the kingdom of Dragonwall. She must face Dragonwall's king. King Talon is not like those before him. Troubled and temperamental, he is scarred by more than the events that shaped him. Worst of all, he is mateless. With no queen and no heir, his subjects are demanding he abandon tradition and marry into nobility. There is a rising threat at his borders, whispers of a sorcerer. Soon, he will have greater problems than that of finding a wife. Modern meets medieval in this seven-book series filled with magical creatures and adventure. This epic fantasy is a slow burn romance that follows multiple POVs, woven together around Claire, a small town Indiana gal. If you've ever wondered what it might be like to get sucked into a fantastical world beyond our own, look no further! **Read Exclusively On Wattpad**

They say the world used to turn. They say that night would follow day in an endless dance. They say that dawn rose, dusk fell, and we worshiped both sun and stars. That was a long time ago. The dance has died. The world has fallen still. We float through the heavens, one half always in light, one half always in shadow. Like the moth of our forests, one wing white and the other black, we are torn. My people are the fortunate. We live in daylight, blessed in the warmth of the sun. Yet across the line, the others lurk in eternal night, afraid... and alone in the dark. I was born in the light. I was sent into darkness. This is my story.

"Evil?" she asked, her lips testing the word. She suppressed a giggle that surfaced at her mouth. "There's no way you're evil." His dark eyes softened at the sound of the humor in her voice. He ran his fingers through his hair, pushed a few strands away from his face and let his eyes fall on her lips. She was biting the corner of her lip, a habit that he was finding completely irresistible. "I assure you, Miss Cora, I am as evil as they come," he hummed seductively, snapping his eyes up to meet hers. "Nope," she quipped. "You won't hurt me." "Yes, Cora" he said, his eyes suddenly sad. "I promise you, I will."
