Fifteen year-old Merlyn Nicholas Baxter has been waiting many years for a moment that would change his life forever. So far, his life has been very... Ordinary. Boring, almost. But that event... That moment- he knows it will definitely spice things up. Nearly all of his friends have experienced this, and Merlyn has grown impatient; yet now, his long wondering of when his own time will come is beginning to draw to a close....
In a world where humans have evolved to shift into certain beasts to protect themselves against the apocalypse, a normal fifteen year-old will find that on the dawn of their sixteenth birthday, with just a thought or an emotion, they will be able to transform into the animal they were destined to be. Very rarely are so-called "mythological" creatures an option, and many are sure they do not even exist; but when Merlyn finds his destiny to be that of a red, blue-eyed mountain dragon, he begins to think that maybe such beasts actually do, or used to, at least, live in the very world everyone resides in. Unfortunately, when everyone else discovers his new secret, things do not go well. Soon our little dragon boy finds himself as an outcast, and just when he believes that his life isn't worth living anymore.... He meets someone who is just like him.

Who will Arise?
Waking up face down in mud sucks any day of the week. But coming around in the sludge of a strange realm...? Well, that just redefines a bad day altogether. Trapped in an unfamiliar world, sixteen-year-old Quinn is frustrated that none of the strange Tree People appreciate his urgency to get back home to earth. Now he is faced with a choice that could change the course of his life: escape and find his own way home, or stay and help them find the cause of the poison ravishing their world. When the mind-reader unlocks one of the ancient mysteries of the Tree People it points to the only way of saving them from annihilation: they have to find the Power of Light. What exactly that means, the mind-reader doesn't reveal, but his next warning comes as a shock to all present: finding the mysterious Power of Light can only be done with the help of the dangerous enemy tribe whom they once called family. Quinn soon finds himself a little more entangled in the lives of these gifted beings than he'd care to be. Especially after meeting Jazz: the feisty girl from his world who seems to be a regular visitor to the world of Zoay. To Quinn's constant frustration, the aqua-eyed pixie makes it clear that she's not there to make friends. On their journey they'll brave bizarre encounters in dangerous alien forests, while sacrificing pride and will for the survival of all. Along the way Quinn finds more than he ever thought to seek: purpose, fulfillment and love. When the Power of Light is finally found a devastating discovery is made: if all of Zoay-including their enemy-want to live and prosper, one must be willing to sacrifice their life.Complete

dragon rebirth
The dragons have come and gone since the Pliocene epoch when Wooly Mammoths roamed with humans during the ice age. For many of the I and E generation in the Americas and parts of Europe, it was something to avoid being taken by them to their world. But many knew the stories they told, the things they saw and missed, and in this world of social media, the child coming home, reborn as a shifter. For 16-year-old Nathan that was his reality. For 11 years he's not only avoided getting grabbed but helped others avoid a similar fate. But a black dragon was watching him grabbing him only to lay low in the nearby woods, something they did to pick out who'd they take. It did that for 10 years, more than 3 times longer than usual. His actions and the amount of time he had avoided them made him a sort of celebrity in his town in the midwest. But one day that black dragon made its decision, he was to be her hatchling. When they're usually marked the child could turn to protective mode, running from home to prevent drawing attention to other children for the picking, and that's what he did, right to where they last landed. Luck, choice, a possible spell in those claws, whatever you may think doesn't matter. A black dragon never misses its mark. With agility unsurpassed by the other types they're almost impossible to avoid. But these dragons didn't breathe fire, were a threat, nor in any way the size of a 747 max. All they had that was unique from other creatures was a highly evolved brain with the intelligence of a human and a heart of platinum. Note. Some creatures don't belong to me in any way.

Destiny Reckoning
AARYAN never believed in fate. Born into hardship and shaped by struggle, he clawed his way out of the dirt only to find himself trapped in an unforgiving world where the strong prey upon the weak. To survive, he relies on sharp instincts, careful calculations, and an iron will-never blind faith. Yet, when an expedition goes awry, AARYAN is thrust into a world he never sought-a world of cultivators, ruthless ambition, and forces beyond his understanding. For the first time, true power-the kind that could rewrite his fate-is within reach. Forced into a ruthless sect where deception is survival and strength is law, AARYAN is caught in a web of scheming elders, ruthless rivals, and unseen hands shaping his fate. With only his wits, a growing mastery of cultivation, and an uncanny knack for getting into (and out of) absurd situations, he must carve his own path-one not dictated by destiny. But fate is not so easily denied. Shadows of the past stir, whispers of something greater call to him, and something far older watches from the dark. In a world where the heavens dictate the fates of all, AARYAN has only one goal: to prove that his life is his to control. Even if it means standing against the very will of the heavens themselves.
