When the dragon Jaax receives word that a human infant has been found in the province of Oescienne, he doesn't dare believe it. Humans have been extinct for centuries, trapped by a terrible curse and left to live out their existence in the form of dragons. Despite his doubts, however, Jaax assumes responsibility for the baby girl only to discover that what he has been seeking for so many years has finally been found . . . Jahrra knows all about the legends and sagas of Oescienne, but never in her wildest dreams would she believe that she played a part in one of them. She's far too busy dodging the bullies at school and seeking out new adventures with her friends to worry about what secrets her dragon mentor might be keeping from her, or that her every move is being watched by something living in the forest surrounding her home. But the secrets run deep, and as Jahrra fights to earn her place in this extraordinary world, she will begin to unravel the truth of it all: that she isn't as safe as she thought she was, that danger lurks around every corner, and that her role in this unfurling tale is far more significant than she could possibly imagine.

Roswehn is the niece of the Master of Laketown. After the Battle of the Five Armies, her life is going to change completely. Italian FF translated in English (please forgive the eventual mistakes 🙏🏻 ) 👉🏻Update 23/03/2021 : 30K views!!! Thank you!! 👈🏻🍾🍾🍾 FF inspired by the works of Tolkien, and by the movies of Peter Jackson. "I'm not accusing you of anything, I just asked you a question, for now, to which you answered with a lie." said Elrond. "You do not admit what everyone has understood, here, and I tell you what is offensive to me: that you reject the possibility of loving a woman just because she is human ... you forget that Aerin was born from mortals. And I loved her, I have had a wonderful daughter with her. " Thranduil looked at him annoyed. Elrond's accusations hurt him. "And where is your wife now?" he asked. Elrond got up from his chair. "You know where she is, she's dead." "She's ... dead, that's right." Thranduil repeated. "Is not this the fate of ... mortals?"

Thousands of years ago, one of Sherath's distant ancestors refused to take on a quest. The task has to be done - it's vitally important - but nobody knows exactly what it is. Their race is dying out, and time is running out; and until Sherath comes into his full powers, he can't do it anyway. They have been waiting three hundred years for the saviour spoken of in an ancient prophecy to lead them on a long journey to adulthood and open the doors for them. But their saviour, and the key to success, turns out to be a volatile teenager from modern-day Earth. Sherath has hundreds of years of education in how to use the Power he will have as an adult, with little access to it as yet. Farinka, on the other hand, has access to vast amounts of Power, but no training in how to use it, what can and can't be done, and what is dangerous to try!

He ran into her at street theater. She was a force of nature, not a casual first time hire. She brought the house down with her performance, literally pulled the audience to their feet in standing ovation. Her performance was too real, unnerving, deeply unsettling to him. He spent all his energy keeping up with her. At the end of the play, she snatched her earnings from the director's hands and ran away, leaving a trail of questions behind her, the most burning one in his mind was: Would he ever see her again? ____________________ This ongoing novel imagines a world that our younger generations inherit after a series of successive presidencies in the same vein as the current model. There is no need for erecting walls, as the biggest divide created by humanity - that of social class - takes care of a post modern segregation. The poor are literally marginalized into slum-like townships and tend to be of color. The names of these townships would be enough to tell you their story. The rich, well, remain happily oblivious in the big American cities. In this world find a mysterious girl whose identity must be hidden or she would be hunted down and a young street actor who falls for her intrigue. Discover how they survive, born into a society not prepared to give them a chance. For them, the dystopia came without an apocalypse.

Zaynab Hamdan thinks that all that there is to life is education and education only. Without education, life is meaningless. Your typical nerd, she only cares about her studies and has no other interest. Little does she realise that she has been created by Allah so that she can worship Him, more than for any other purpose. On the other hand, Hassan Zaydan cannot imagine a life without Allah by his side. He knows and realises that his sole purpose of creation is what Allah stated in the Qur'an: "And I have not created the mankind and the jinn except to worship Me" [Qur'an 51: 56]. But when circumstances tie these two together in the bond of marriage, will Hassan ever be able to change Zaynab? [A COMPLETED STORY]
