In the beginning, we are together... Rania Fellows is an orphan. She has been ever since her parents dropped her off at a police station, rambling about her being cursed. Because of this, people have one of two reactions to Rania: they are enchanted by her or they are terrified of her. Most of her foster siblings won't look her in the eye and in the eyes of her peers, she's a freak. The one thing Rania looks forward to is sleep, because then she can dream of Xerxion, the handsome male warrior from another planet who is her Consort and has sworn to love her for all time. However, when the dreams intensify and Xerxion turns out to be more than just some man her mind conjured up, Rania will discover a whole new world filled with infinite possibilities and even more danger. In this world no one is what they seem, dark is light and love can last across galaxies.

WATTPAD ORIGINAL EDITION Island princess Yenni is searching for a way to save her father's life, but a handsome yet infuriating shapeshifting dragon becomes an unexpected distraction. ***** As a princess of the Moonrise Isles, Yenni is all-but-engaged to the prince of a neighbouring tribe. She knows it's her duty to ensure peace for her people, but as her father's illness steadily worsens, she sets out on a sacred journey to the empire of Cresh, determined to find a way to save him at any cost, even though failure could mean the wrath of her gods and ruin for her people. One further complication? On the day she arrives at the Prevan Academy for Battle and Magical Arts, she meets an arrogant dragon shifter who claims she's his "Given", or destined mate. Muscular, beautiful (and completely infuriating), he's exactly the kind of distraction Yenni can't afford while her father's life hangs in the balance. But by rejecting him, is she fighting her feelings -- or her fate?
