|Book One of The Soul-Bound Chronicles| Classic J-RPG and anime elements collide with the Young Adult fiction writing style in this modern fantasy book following Josh Davidson, a teenage boy whose life flips upside down when he becomes soul-bound to a dragon ✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧ Magic, heroes, dragons. Josh Davidson has seen it all-in video games and movies, of course, because they would never be anything but fiction. Yet his dreams are slipping into reality, he is experiencing sudden energy surges, and a persistent voice is taking residency in his head. All of the insanity explodes when his bully goes on a murderous rampage, and the only one who can stop him is a beautiful girl wielding a bow and shooting magical ice arrows. The experience leads Josh to the truth: he's a Paladin, someone soul-bound to a dragon. Not only does he now have a dragon reaching into his thoughts, but the new status comes with magical powers meant to help him in his fight against the forces of darkness. Josh is more than eager to hone his new skills and help the Paladins in their fight, but the darkness they face is rising from its slumber, intent on destroying the Paladins and everything they stand for. Josh will have to learn fast, because the most important decisions are those he cannot escape. Decisions that risk not only the war which the Paladins fight, but the very people he holds dear. ➢ Word Count: 130,000 - 135,000 ➢ Amazing cover made by Dayisdemigod ➢ Featured in Fantasy account's Young Adult Fantasy Reading List ➢ Featured in YASciFantasy account's Quests & Queens - Fantasy Adventure Reading List ➢ The Fiction Awards 2019 Best Fantasy Winner ➢ Editor's Pick Featured January 2021

Charlie Skander, à l'oral, ça fait Charles Iskander, une malédiction qui vaut bien des moqueries à Charlie. L'adolescente solitaire n'espère plus rien des autres, jusqu'à ce qu'elle rencontre Jack. "Charlie redoute la rentrée et en particulier la terrible épreuve qui inaugure chaque année scolaire : l'appel de début de cours. Charlie Skander, à l'oral, ça se prononce aussi Charles Iskander. Alors, bien sûr, les autres élèves cherchent des yeux un garçon. A la place, ils la trouvent elle, avec ses fringues un peu larges et son look pas très féminin... Cette malédiction a valu tant de moqueries à Charlie qu'elle a appris à se protéger : une carapace de solitude bien épaisse la sépare maintenant du reste de l'humanité - grand bien lui fasse ! Pourtant, forcée à s'asseoir à côté du beau et séduisant - jusqu'à ce qu'il ouvre la bouche pour débiter des inepties - Jack, Charlie va, petit à petit, apprendre à s'ouvrir aux autres. Mais les liens fragiles d'amitié (et d'amour ?) qu'elle commence à tisser avec ses nouveaux camarades de classe seront mis à mal par un cauchemar surgi de son passé et bien décidé à la harceler à nouveau. Comment survivra-t-elle une seconde fois à ce garçon qui l'a blessée si fort que ses bras s'en sont couverts de cicatrices honteuses ?
