Casey is a teenage Californian loner girl. Forced into isolation in the Sierra mountains, she never expects in this present day and age, a wild man and a small double-winged dragon named Spike to appear and take her away. Anywhere is better than the dump of a cabin in the middle of snow country. In haste, Casey hits the road to experience reality as she once knew it, suddenly imbued with an invisible and volatile fabric of magic. 

Supported by an unlikely witch, and a narcoleptic necromancer, Casey searches for her place in an uncanny society of what she considers misfits. Spike becomes the ultimate companion as she uncovers an unscrupulous underground world of threatened Shape-shifters, an incredible ecosystem of creatures once deemed myth, and winds her way through intricate layers of the corrupted Magical Fold. The more she learns, the closer she comes to a murderous warlock who is quietly calculating her every move. 

But can she learn fast enough to understand and outsmart this dangerous society? What does anybody really actually know about Spike? Join Casey and Spike and unravel the mystery in this modern fantasy thriller.

A Dragon's Legacy

26 parts Complete

A thousand years ago, before the realms as we know them existed, there was only one land-Ardelia. A world where magic flowed freely, and its inhabitants lived together in an uneasy harmony. The dragon shifters ruled the skies, admired for their strength and wisdom. But envy brewed among other shifters, and rivalries soon escalated into a full-scale war. Born into an era of peace, Skye never felt at home. Raised in an orphanage among emotionless scientists, her wild temper and violet eyes set her apart. People avoided her, whispering about her strange appearance, while she was constantly told to suppress her true nature. No matter how hard she tried to blend in, Skye always felt like an outsider-and she hated it. Join Skye as she navigates a world that demands conformity, grapples with her own powers, and uncovers secrets that could change everything she thought she knew about herself.
