" . . . It seemed as if Saphara was no longer paying attention to me. I envied those who could get lost in their past, and forget about reality. Where as I had no past. Well, I did, but not one where I ever did anything; thought of my own free will, walked on my own accord, loved without caring, felt hope, love, anguish, and despair. . ." In The Empire, no one has a soul and everyone is a subjugate to the Powers; the royal family. And the worst part is: no one even knows it. They can't think; the Powers think for them. They do what the Powers say or what The Voice says. Duke Whitings is one of the helpless, soulless people in The Empire. He makes a mistake that will change his life forever. This is his story. His story on how he found out that the best people, aren't really so great after all. The cover was graciously made by @Astariel. Rankings: #4 in unknown

The colour of your magic decides everything. From whether you're a simple mage or a coveted dragon rider. Even your job and rank. Born to two parents without any form of magic, Sora Williams isn't holding out much hope when her sixteenth birthday comes around. She doubts she'll even obtain the lowest form of magic, but fate isn't always cruel. She isn't colourless. The Fates have given her magic... but at what price? (Book One in the Dragon Rider Series.)
