"'We've always known that Magnar was reckless-' 'But not reckless enough to bomb the 19 entrances of the Mortelex!' my mom screeched. I heard a chair topple to the ground causing my candle to flicker as if uncertain. "And now he is to be executed on Thursday morn in a fortnight!' A wave of grief washed over me... I should have known he'd do such a thing to save me from the awful destiny that looms over all teens ages 16-22! To save me from the dreaded maze of death!" The Mortelex is a maze that exists under the planet Aurora's crust. But if you pass the thousands of tests and trials of the maze you will reach Aurora's core which supposedly possesses unfathomable powers. The king will do anything to come in possession of it so every five years he sends 15 teens to try to retrieve the core's powers, but so far to no avail. No one has come back alive. Aurora's prince attempts at keeping Cor safe but to his horror, she is selected to get the power. Will she survive and love flourish, or will her life be taken by the Mortelex?

"Do you remember calling me 'mate?'" he asked softly, pushing her wild curls away from her face. She blushed deeply, but he wouldn't let her look away. "You heard that?" He nodded with a smile. "It was the first thought she ever shared with me." Skylar pursed her lips. "She likes you very much." "What about you?" he teased gently. "How do you feel about me?" She set her jaw and once again managed to look down her nose at him while staring up at him. "Well... well, I'm rather fond of you, Orion." He let out a relieved laugh and pulled her into his chest again. "What a relief. I was worried it was just me." He nuzzled her temple, inhaling deeply, his dragon fully at peace. The words "I love you" were right on the tip of his tongue, but he knew it was too soon for that. He would have to hold them in just a little while longer. "I'm fond of you, too," he whispered in her ear. <><><><><><><><> Skylar lived her life in fear. Fear of exposure, fear of herself, and fear of her future. As a princess and heir to the kingdom, her future was daunting enough. The fact that she turned into dragon and would be killed if anyone found out made it all the worse. So, Skylar lived in constant conflict with the beast within her, all while training to be queen one day. When a fellow king discovers her secret, she is forced to flee or put her entire family in danger. When she meets Orion, the Alpha of a dragon clan, he helps open up a whole new world to her. In this new world, Skylar discovers who she is supposed to be and what she's been hiding from. She finds the beauty of her beast and a love she only ever dreamed of. But then her new world is threatened. It becomes a matter of kill or be killed, so Skylar's new family, with the help of her old, must rise to the challenge to defeat this threat. Or risk the extinction of her kind.
