Dragon-rider Stories

Two Empires, one enemy. The Holy Roman Empire rules Europe and the Mediterranean, and is under attack by the Mongols from the east. The Soong Empire rules Cathay and holds south east asia in tribute, and is under attack by the Mongols from the north. Two men from opposite sides of the world are thrown together by the politics of the greatest Empires in the World. In the wilds of an Australia still inhabited by giant beasts they both confront their greatest fears. The Monqhul horde has been defeated. Now the dragon riding priests of the Temple of the Mothers Naked Heart face an invasion in disguised as a trading mission from the Qhan of the Monqhul Empire. In the 13th century an exceptional linguist priest travels on a mission to Cathay with Marco Polo. He has been sent by the Mater of the Holy Reform Church to record their journey to the great Silk Empire. Brother Maximillian Hart finds this Empire in turmoil with the Monqhul and Soong antagonists in a fragile truce. Hart is chosen by the Qhan of the Monqhul to accompany a joint trade mission to the Spice Islands and to Katithandra, the Southern Dragonland. Hart becomes immersed in the politics of the Mission and the melded society of Aboriginal and Asian customs that is the Temple of the Mothers Naked Heart. Ambitious Soong Empire military officers and government officials have for centuries taken the “Journey to the South,” to Katithandra to learn from the dragon riding priests of the Temple. Hart is caught up in this tradition and is confronted on all levels of his being as he travels deep into Katithandra and Temple society. Where do his loyalties lie? To the Mater and his Order, to the trade mission or to the priests of the Temple. What will this young priest become?

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''

SPOILERS AHEAD PLEASE READ A DRAGON'S VIEW BEFORE THIS BOOK!! With the fall of the dragon riders, it seems like all is lost. The alive dragons with and without riders from the battle are rounded up and put in an arena. A fighting arena for dragons to fight each other for the entertainment of many. The conditions are bad, however, one dragon has it worse compared to the rest. Thirak. Thirak used to be Mark's dragon. But after the final battle, Thirak was kicked aside for a better dragon - one who had been whispering evil into Mark's mind and corrupting him. Thirak now must face the difficulties of being riderless and face the battles in the arena - filled with dragons who hate him due to his rider and what he did. However, Thirak is slowly facing his problems head on and ramming them with his horns. Thirak now must find a way to free the dragon, make him for what he did and try and reinstate good dragon riders. But first, he must fight in the arena and face Mark in his cell - both equally deadly. ****************** Book two in Rising Dragons ( the first book is A Dragon's View). Told from a dragon's point of view; the title was suggested by _ChrissieGoesRawr. Cover made by Modernmoongoddess. TRIGGER WARNING: Abuse will be mentioned throughout this book - it may not be a realistic portrayal either; torture; purposefully maiming another; serious disability (not a realistic portrayal either)

Spoilers ahead, don't read unless you've read the other two books! ************************************************************************* Seeryath is riderless and wanting vengeance. 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

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 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.

THE TAVERNER'S DAUGHTER - BOOK ONE FANTASY, MAGIC, DRAGONS, ROMANCE, WINGED WIZARDS. Please Note: The rest of this series will not be published until the complete series is drafted and revised - probably another four volumes over the next year. However, this book doesn't end on some really bad cliffhanger, and I think it has a satisfactory 'end' feel, so do read it if you wish. After mistaking a leather-clad wizard for a dragonrider, the taverner's daughter agrees to binding vows: Jarryd hopes for a magic-saving paternity spell but Taniel just wants his dragon. Of course, it is not that simple. It never is. Others have plans for Taniel and can do without Jarryd's interference. Taniel's father is little help, too busy dealing with a guilty conscious and pining for his missing wife. Add talking dragons, kidnappings, a gallivanting Grandmaster Wizard, a wicked stepfather, seductive shape shifting winged wizards, and midwitchery. Stir with rumour of plotting land-locked pirates, spies, feisty forest sprites, rockgoblins, and a failing magical barrier. Welcome to the world of A Corrangorachian Fantasy. SOME MILD MATURE MOMENTS (but maybe not enough to mark MATURE): A few not-particularly-graphic sex scenes. Violence? Could get nasty, depending on your perception. Drug Use? Pipe smoking, copious alcohol, and the odd potion. And some coarse language, of course. (AUSTRALIAN - BRITISH ENGLISH)
