Highest: #1 in Action! Elena lives in a world where dragons are well-known to man kind and tamed by people who fly with them through the sky. Unfortunately, it seems that dragons can only be tamed by a person of the male gender, any females who even are nearby, have a 99.9% chance of being killed by one, the other 0.01% chance of getting away with major injuries. This leaves to Elena find life her boring, plain and has no life objective. She attends a normal school, with normal people. While her older brother, Jackson. attends a boarding school for those who can tame a dragon. She envies the life of her brother but accepts that she can't change her life. Well... maybe she can't change it. At the end of first day of new year at school, an unlikely incident puts her in a position no other female would like to be in. Face to face with a real life dragon. Is this encounter the one she has been waiting for? Or is it is the day she will change her mind on dragons forever? Read as Elena struggles to figure out her new life. How to act, what to do and say, read as her future is a lot more set than she would like it to be. Read as Elena, a girl who is not even close to normal, try to push through the journey, that some planned for her all along. **Cover by AutunmStars (thank you) *Started: 17/01/2017 EDITING

There is no night in the Everburning City. There can never be. ***** For four hundred years the Everburning City has withstood the advance of the life-strangling fog known as the Gloam. Its walls have held back five invasions, but on the eve of the sixth, the city's inhabitants know things have changed. Golems are coming out of the mist, and the bodies of the dead are rising at the Gloam's bidding. The city's last and most desperate line of defence comes in the form of the Crafters, individuals who can channel the power of fire, though they risk their sanity each time they do. The brightest of these valiant heroes are Tabitha a'Loria and her apprentice Gerald Reath. Risking their lives, they mount their airships, determined to save the last bastion of humanity - the Everburning City. [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]]
