A short Christmas special from the Dragon's series. A gift to my readers. This is a possible future for the characters of Dragon's Prize, so there are no spoilers, because even I don't know what will happen by the end of the book. Thank you for reading and for your support. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas/Solstice/whatever you might celebrate and a Happy New Year. Wish you lots of good reads. :) Maja

Follow Kaden (from Dragon's Treasure) on his previous adventures according to the readers. :) This will be a collection of stories from different writers. Each one will be dedicated to the author. Everyone can join at any time. It is also a good place to promote yourself, your skill or just use it as an excercise. I highly recommend reading Dragon's Treasure before writing, or at least up to chapter 5. Hope this works out as I planned and everyone enjoys reading and writing :)

Sequel to Dragon's Treasure. This is only a longer excerpt. Due to copyright issues, the fully edited and final version is only available on Amazon, Nook (B&N), Kobo, iBooks and GooglePlay. It is highly recommended you read Dragon's Treasure first. © by Maya_2011/Maya Starling

"She was the girl who longed for the freedom of the dragon, and he was the dragon who longed to be a man." A heroine reclaiming her fate. A dragon with a secret. A prince on a quest. Olivia flees to the forest seeking freedom from her family's demands. She finds refuge in a cave, only to discover it is a dragon's lair. The dragon, Kaden, is not the monster she first thinks him to be. After overcoming her initial fright - of not being eaten - Olivia discovers that the dragon has a gentle heart. Kaden is resigned to loneliness after centuries of wandering the lands. Meeting Olivia brings joy to his solitary life, and never has he dreamed that a young woman would be the one to start the change in him. A storm brews on the horizon. A prince with a handsome face and a cruel heart is on a quest to slay the dragon, and take the throne. He will do whatever it takes to have what he believes is his to own. And now, he has his eyes set on the pretty little maiden from the forest. He will make her his Queen, whether she wants it or not. © by Maya_2011/Maya Starling

Alexis is about to embark on some great adventures after finishing Med school. Instead she ends up at a boring Economics conference in Sweden. But there she sees an old blast from the past and this could send her future off course.

Sam is the most promising swordsman among this year’s crop of Paladin trainees...and knows it. Brash, cocky, and unbeatable with a sword (well, almost), Sam is the kingdom of Thule’s best hope against the violence wrought by demons. The only problem is that Sam is really Lady Samantha, daughter of the seventeenth Duke of Haywood, and if her father has his way, she’ll be marrying a Paladin, not becoming one. But Sam has never held much interest in playing damsel-in-distress, and so she rescues herself from a lifetime of boredom and matrimonial drudgery. Pity that Tristan Lyons, the Paladin assigned to train her, is none other than the hero of her childhood. He hasn’t recognized her as Lady Samantha--yet-- but if he does, he’ll take away her sword and send her packing. Sam is not the only trainee hiding secrets: Braeden is a half-demon with a dark past that might be unforgivable. Sam, Braeden and Tristan set out for the western coast, charged with rooting out an infestation of demons that has made the West unlivable. As they travel, they uncover a deep-seated corruption of power that threatens to derail everything they stand for. Rebellion stirs, led by a rival faction of warriors who tempt Sam to join them with an irresistible offer. A war between men is coming, and Sam must pick a side. Will saving the kingdom cost her life -- or just her heart? Reminiscent of Mulan, but with a medieval fantasy twist, Paladin is a tale of adventure, action, and romance.

her·o·ine noun \ˈher-ə-wən, ˈhir-, ˈhe-rə-\ : a woman who is admired for great or brave acts or fine qualities : the chief female character in a story, play, movie, etc. Full Definition of HEROINE 1 a : a mythological or legendary woman having the qualities of a hero b : a woman admired and emulated for her achievements and qualities 2 a : the principal female character in a literary or dramatic work b : the central female figure in an event or period You know how they say that being a hero isn't inborn, its a trait? Well, those who said that don't have my blood. So either i'm a character in a dramatic and chaotic story, or I'm an unfortunate individual expected to step up on every opportunity that a hero is needed- well, a heroine. I didn't choose this life, given a chance i would leave and start over, but like i said, no one has my blood- or the craziness that runs in my family. So yeah, I'm the heroine that needs to save the world, from what you ask? Humans in war would be a walk in the park, zombies and aliens would be work out... what am out to get is greater. Demons, devils and fallen angels. Now if only they aren't after me too- i'd be done by 5pm.
