Dragon-rider Stories

In a kingdom where women are nearly extinct and forbidden from battle, Kael has lived her whole life disguised as a boy to survive. When the time comes for the dragon hatchings, she risks everything and enters as a recruit. Dragons choose riders by instinct. Black dragons never choose. Until her. A black dragon hatches for the first time in centuries and bonds instantly with Kael - exposing her secret and shattering tradition across the realm. Now leader of a newly formed clutch, Kael must train alongside four male riders (including the young monarch she just rescued in a gown), protect her identity, and navigate growing feelings for the commander who caught her when she fell. But something ancient is waking beneath the mountain. Dragons are showing powers not seen since the Old Wars. And Kael may be the key. Born in disguise. Chosen by a legend. Destined to change everything. Power. Dragons. Found family. A hidden girl who refuses to bow. The Night Wing rises.

"A thousand years ago, the wind could speak the future to us. People would spend days out in the desert, just for a chance at hearing their fate. I've heard what the wind plans for me; a princess without a family, a queen without a country. But I believe that you have two options: you can let fate blow you over, or you can spread your wings and direct it." Rajani of Chikarth has never truly fit in. As the adopted daughter of General Hayate Ajam, the Lord Paramount of the recently conquered desert Chikarth, she is one of the few members of her race that was not subjected to the brutal enslavement that came with the conquest when she was three years old. As a Chikarthi, she has always been separated from her Maekaran peers, and she resolutely eliminates anything that may widen that gap. The only people that seem to overlook her nationality are her father and her best friend and lover, the Crown Prince of the Maekaran empire. However, her world begins to crumble when she meets Shiro, a white-haired Chikarthi slave who never seem to leave her thoughts, and it shatters when she finds a locket with two people inside, one of which bears her face.

Please note: this is a third-draft story but is not revised. More than a century ago, dragons and the blue-eyed Shaderi flew together. Then they were brought down by jealous men who feared their power. Now blue eyes are a curse and dragons are a laughingstock, neither seen outside of slavery. Born a slave, her fair features mark her as a witch who is worth less than even the right to a name. He is a dragon who was raised in the arena, a life that left him unable either to fly or to breathe fire. Thrown together by an ambitious showman, they are united by a bond as old as the legends. Together, they have a hope for something more than the lives to which they were born, if only they can learn to trust each other. The words of a mysterious minstrel point them west, where rumors say their people live in freedom. The road there is hard, and at the end of it they find themselves a world embroiled in a secret war. This new world is ruled by a king who values tradition above all else. At every turn their new friendship is tested, and they are forced to decide how much they are willing to pay for a place to call home. He wants to help her learn the truth of where she came from, and she wants to give him what every dragon deserves: a chance to soar.

Eridell is a valley that rests hidden amongst mountains and dense forests; a fantastical kingdom where humans and dragons are companions, linked together at birth with a strong telepathic connection. In this kingdom, there live three especially unique people: Syn, a dragon breeder linked with a common dragon, leaving him at the bottom of the hierarchy; Kira, a respected rider who soars the skies protecting and patrolling her kingdom; and Edlyn, a princess who longs to rule better than her father. A cold-blooded murder sends shockwaves through Eridell, leaving them helpless and stripped of a ruler. This is when Syn, Kira, and Edlyn are brought together from different worlds, entrusted with bringing down the murderer who has put everything they know in danger. With the help of a dragon shifter who seeks redemption and dragons they never knew existed, the three begin their journey; a journey that will push them to their mental and physical limits. How far will each one go in an attempt to reshape their lives, and is it all in vain?

Poor, blind Erye who lost her father, that's what they all say. But then Amias Swallow showed up at her doorstep, telling her she'd been accepted into a school that her father had attended. Amias forgot to mention it was a school of dragons. Rayna is a young assassin. She knows she was in a plane crash, but the king of assassins, Kugen Tari, saved her and trained her. But when she's sent on a questionable mission, she begins to doubt if the assassins are saviors or monsters. Azariah has only ever tried to protect Rayna. When he helped recruit her. When he stopped the other assassins from picking on her. She had no clue. Trying to protect her has only gotten harder as a group of rogue assassins begin to overthrow Kugen Tari, and they'll kill anyone who gets in their way.

A boy is forced to flee his Kingdom along with his sister after the betrayal of a trusted servant. What was even more unexpected was the fact he had a tamed Titan class dragon under his control years after their extinction. Now Prince Nigel and his sister Oriana must find a way to reclaim their Kingdom and find the answer to the dragons return.

Sequel to Dragon Rider, this book won't make sense if you don't read the previous one. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* 'And from the ashes, a phoenix emerged, looking even more splendid than it had before.' Phoenixes are reborn through flames, dying only to live another day. However, what happens to the ashes they leave behind? The ashes of the flames that allowed the phoenix to be reborn? ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* This is the story of what comes after a war won. This is what comes after the final battle where good triumphs. This is the novel where children were soldiers before they could dream. This is a tale where veterans are restless, wanting peace but not knowing it, never having known it. They were not born to save the world. They made their way through ash and dust. They fought for themselves and then fought for the world. This a story of the battle-and-world-weary, a story of the young being soldiers. This is how they still fight, how they still can. This is the story of those left, of dragons and riders struggling to live again. Warnings: LGBtQ+ characters (later on and not a focus point), PTSD (portrayal might be unrealistic, as I have never had PTSD), survivor's guilt (might also be unrealistic as I have not had it)

A fan fiction that takes place in the world of Westeros and Essos between 7AD and 101AD. The work is intended purely for entertainment and for kicking time until 2026, when we hopefully get HOD season 3 :). I am a fan of the show ( HOD), but I have not had time to read the books really, and as much as I have tried to do my research, so the story flows seamlessly with the world ( as it is intended to), I admit it propably contains mistakes. It will definitely have grammar and spelling mistakes though. On the story: While watching season 2, and researching about the source material, I came to feel like the '' can't rule she is a WoMaN'' argument is utterly meaningless when it comes to targaryen sucsesion. I understand the world building somewhat, but I aim to do targarien women justice, by portraying them as true threats to their male counterparts. This story ''creates'' an alternative world where the council decides on the safer option, in hopes of evading a much bigger danger, that could turn the basis of society upside down! Stalker, '' The Misery'' by the dragon keepers after her ferocious nature, and '' The Wandering Doom'', by villagers of the many places it traveled to, is a she dragon that grew wild for most of its long life. Born around year 7 AC, it was claimed by the 9 year old un-named princess the night her father died on the Iron Throne. While the child appears harmless, the dragon she rides quickly grows to be perhaps the largest living dragon by 101 AC, the only dragon battle hardened in true dragon-to-dragon combat. The princess never flew it against men, but perhaps, there could be a reason strong enough for her to turn the reign towards the Throne?! '' I am obviously not J.R.R Martin, and you actually need to at least be familiar with his works to fully enjoy this one... i think''

Thirak is wingless and tying to redeem himself. Azrael is hurting and wanting justice. Seeryath has come far but she will need to go further than before if she wishes to stop Mark's tyranny. She is also finding out that there are mysteries surrounding Sky's death and last message. Thirak is trying his best, but he will have to reach further into himself for any hope of killing Mark. Thirak wishes to redeem himself, but his mind is either playing tricks on him or the bond between Mark and him is still there. Azrael has known something special was going to occur the moment he saw the message on the wall. He didn't expect to find two broken-down dragons who are far from healing, and he is far too alike to them in that manner. The three are fighting for what they believe in, but they're without allies, resources, and safety. This fight may just push them into their graves. If they want to win, they're going to have to unravel the mysterious forces that have surrounded them long before they were born. ************************************************************************* Cover made by the brilliant Jewlez

It is necessary to read Friend of the Dragons first to understand this. It focuses mostly on a different cast, though Lilac and her dragons will be showing up at least once and you'll recognize a few other names from the original.

This is just if you're interested in my road to fame. Basically it's my bragging rights. So, if you don't like other people bragging about themselves (or in this case the books I've written), don't even look twice. There is no story to this, just dates and numbers. Oh, and Fun Facts. You've got to have those. There are also Character Birthdays, although that hasn't been put up yet. Enjoy your Reality.
