Retired Stories

The Black Dragon saved the world more times than anyone had ever bothered to count. Now he just wants chickens. After two centuries of war, the legendary hero Vaelkor is finally retiring. No more battles. No more monsters. No more being the realm's most celebrated weapon. All he wants is a quiet life on his countryside estate, far away from politics, glory, and anyone asking him to save the kingdom. Instead, he's ambushed at his retirement banquet with an unexpected wife. Princess Limra of Odendale is beautiful, clever, and far too pleased about their sudden marriage. Desperate to escape an unwanted future, she sees Vaelkor as the perfect solution. Vaelkor agrees to help her, expecting little more than an awkward arrangement and a peaceful coexistence. Unfortunately, Limra has plans of her own. Before long, runaway princesses, political disasters, ancient dragons, and long-buried feelings begin arriving at Vaelkor's doorstep. As more women seek refuge beneath the protection of the Black Dragon, his quiet country estate starts transforming into something entirely unexpected: a sanctuary for those determined to choose their own fate. Now the realm's greatest hero faces the one challenge he never prepared for, love, friendship, and a household full of strong-willed princesses who refuse to be controlled. Retirement was supposed to be easy.
