"And in the depths of memory, await only the forgotten." (text on cover)
_________________________________________
Summer has arrived, and Aleksandra, Dareon, Atlanta, and Lucan make their way to Zarkarath for the second ruler of their assignments. The dragons suddenly gone from their dreams, and with the entire kingdom of Zarkarath aware of their arrival, they don't have a second to lose focus.
But they hardly can when Aleksandra's taken by Zarkarians and sold to an entertainment ring that puts Wielder against Wielder to a fight to the death. Highest bidder rakes in the spoils.
Now it's a race to retrieve their witch and find King Cragon in the large Southern Kingdom of Zarkarath, all while avoiding bounty collectors that are out for their heads, or simply those who want to officially destroy the remnants of the West. Atlanta has no longer become an exception.
Not only this, but beings hidden in shade and glow rise and whisper into their ears, thieve into their dreams, and haunt them from a distance. Who are they and what could they possibly want? What could their purpose be if they've already acquired the trust of select few mortals? Our Dragon vessels are confronted with more enemies than they could have ever considered, and they have yet to trust each other completely to get any further with their quest.
And it is not in King Cragon's interest to just let them succeed easily.
Immerse yourself into the spinning chaos the Dragon vessels have committed themselves to in the second novel by TheAleksDemon, Sigh of Smoke.

~PARAGON CINEMATIC UNIVERSE: PHASE 3, BOOK 2~ *This novel serves as the 2nd novel of Phase 3 and a sequel to "Spark of the Rebellion".* "War is part of nature, and it's time that you accept that. When we return this Citadel to its warring state.....it shall emerge all the stronger for it. In the name of the Mainframe." -Imperator Barrows The enigmatic girl known only as Moody comes from an unstable past. Once a member of a notorious terrorist organization called the Crimson Skulls, she caused havoc and bedlam all in the name of her leader, Dr. Duncan Drevis. But those days are past; after Dr. Duncan Drevis's redemption, the Crimson Skulls have disbanded, with Moody relocating to the Rusted Citadel on one of Asia's archipelagoes and leading a brave rebellion in her attempts to free it from the ruthless, tyrannical rule of the Iron Kingpin. In 2021, they succeeded, with the help of half of the Paragons: The Viper, Dr. Duncan Drevis himself, The Crawler, and Duncan's sister Monica, known as the superheroine Voltara. Moody gained invisibility and intangibility powers, too, and swore to use them for good in defending the reborn city as the superheroine Specter, alongside its new head, King Ryker, and his court: T.J., Logan, Ollie, and Sylvester. But as the Rusted Citadel struggles to escape the shadow of the Iron Kingpin's despotic rule and embrace its brighter future, a new threat has emerged. A movement called the Shattered Circle works to reignite the conflict, with the goal of making money off of both sides for their own gains. With methods such as blackmailing, weapon trading, and information bargaining, they seek to return the Rusted Citadel to ruin and flee with the spoils. Moody has been tasked by King Ryker with investigating and taking down the Shattered Circle, and only time will tell if she succeeds.....or if the Rusted Citadel's dreams of freedom and liberty were always meant to be a fantasy from the start. • Cover designed by @CastimentComplete
Curse of the Stars Book 1
"You will seek death but you will not find it. You will long to lose consciousness but ever present you shall stay. Finally alone you will shrivel up and die without your own kind in all your magnificent splendor, and only after everyone you love is dead. By then, it will no longer matter, for when you finally have your light you will depart from it faster than fire from a raging wind. But perhaps you would have comfort yet little one. Death is a sweet thing in a world like this." Cursed by a Wishing Dragon when she was only a dragonet, Stygian sets off in search of a cure, leaving behind everyone she knows and loves. On her journey for help she meets more enemies than friends, with a little red fox as her only companion. At last she finds Turbulence; God of Confusion; the only one who can save her, or so he or she claims. *** Fyran, the Librarian's Apprentice is on the hunt for Leviathan; a legendary beast long foretold by prophecy, a prophecy she had disregarded as an old fable. Yet, ever since her father stumbled into their broken down house one dark night covered in blood and deliriously talking about a dragon with iron teeth, Fyran is no longer so sure. After her father dies and renders them all penniless, Fyran goes in search of this creature to take revenge-and the huge bounty on its head issued by the King of Sufta. Perhaps she will be successful and they'll no longer have to grovel as the poorest of the poor, and at the very least she'll acquire justice for the murder of her father, the only father she's ever had. But there is an old and forgotten prophecy as old as time fast approaching on the horizon. Nobody can stop it, fate is a force that can't be reckoned with, and everything that ever has and will ever happen to every citizen has already been foretold in their scrolls. The fate of Sufta is uncertain, and powerful forces are at play, but who has enough discernment to understand a long forgotten prophecy that's been dismissed by generations?Complete
A Court of Light and Shadows
** All rights to characters and plotline belong to Sarah J Maas, this is completely a fanfiction and I take no credit for the characters and places that Sarah J Maas has created** Born with wings that should not exist, Evanora (ev-uh-NOR-uh) has spent her life hiding in the shadows of Illyria. Concealed by her mother's desperate invention - a dark paste to mask the white leather of her birth - she learned early that survival meant silence, invisibility, and secrets. But when grief, fear, and fury spark a forbidden light within her, Evanora's secret can no longer remain buried. Hunted by her own people, she finds herself swept into the heart of the Night Court, where power, danger, and beauty are entwined. There she meets the Shadowsinger - unreadable, relentless, a warrior who sees too much. Tasked with training her, he becomes both her harshest trial and her most unexpected tether. Yet as whispers of war rise across Prythian, and the Autumn Court stirs schemes that could burn the realm to ash, Evanora must confront what she is, what she fears, and the truth of the bloodline her mother died to protect. In a court of fire and darkness, of love and betrayal, light may be her greatest weapon. Or her doom. [Also on AO3 under stvrlightt_cerys]Complete

A whole new world (ToG/ACOTAR crossover)
A year after Aelin awakes to find her home covered in kingsflame, she and the co have finally met up again all together in Terrasen. However, when a pulse of power radiates through her country and knocks an unsuspecting Dorian and herself out, they decided to investigate the source, and postpone the greetings. What they find out might just change their world (and perhaps another one as well) forever. This is obviously a ToG/ACOTAR crossover haha, but WARNING; just a spoiler alert, if you haven't read KoA or ACOFAS you should probably go finish those! My book takes place after them, and I honestly can't compare to the real genius behind these worlds (shout out sjmaas), so go and (sob, laugh, smile) read those two before (hopefully!) reading this. (also huuuge credit to all the amazing artists who created the pictures both on the cover of this book and in each chapter. their work is so incredible-i wish i could make art like that)Complete

[And my own first fanfiction] I recommend FINISHING both series before reading this, as there will be spoilers!!) (All creation rights to Sarah J Maas, I did not create these stories, it's only fanfiction, the only thing that's mine is the idea to write this!!)

A Court of Scars and Shadows
Follows story line of the ACOTAR series.... picks off right after ACOSF, so of course spoilers are meant to be said in this story. For people who haven't read ACOTAR, read at your own risk, but fair warning you might be just a tad bit confused. ALSO... I will not be trashing any character, expect for assholes like Beron and his sons (expect for Eris). STORY DESCRIPTION: Gwyneth Berdara has spent her last year still not being able to leave that gods-damned library. She wants to leave, but every time she is about to reach the outside world, she freezes and goes back to Sangravah. She tells herself that she is safe, she is in Velaris, but nothing works. She feels as if she's still stuck in the same place from when she entered the library two years ago. One incident makes her leave the Night Court and into another court. How will she react? Azriel was there in Sangravah, but he had arrived too late. Ever since the incident, Azriel has been slipping farther and farther away from his family. He doesn't know why the incident had been eating away at him, it wasn't his first time failing at his job. Azriel finds shocking news that he must keep from Gwyn. The plot line derives somewhat from the initial description. P.S. : I do not own this art, I just made it as my cover! Same thing goes for the characters, Sarah J Maas, wrote these character from scratch. Except for my OC!Complete
