Azaleas father left to fight for the growing empire of Rome when she was just 8 summers old.
As any little girl would, she missed him and waited desperately for her hero to come riding back on his white stallion.
Every night she would sit at her window and wait, but as the years went by the nights grew longer and the memories faded.
Soon he was her past, a bleak picture of authority that no longer held any power over her.
Now at the age of 17 Azalea is the fresh ocean breeze in the village, whit a laughter worth gold and looks to match, she brings a smile even to the most miserable of people.
But no matter how much the people loved this wild beauty they knew she acted improper and they feared the day when her father would return.
What will he do to her? What will he bring? What is his plan?
Can this Roman flower grow in the shadows?

Dare to Play
A girl with emerald green eyes sat reading by the moonlight peacefully. That had been her routine every night before the librarian wound up his battered old library. Until one day, out of nowhere, all her hope of peace was lost forever. Odd encounters. Unexpected threats. Immediate mortal perils. Ancient creatures. Danger looms at every corner, as her past resurfaces. Azalea is forced to face her long-forgotten fears - but will she brave it all alone? * "What happened?" he asked in a hurry. He knelt down beside her, and cautiously put a hand on her shoulder. She didn't look up; her sleeve was damp with tears. And... blood? "Hey, don't cry!" He winced almost instantly. "Jeez, that sounds like something my mum would say to me." She huffed a short laugh, but returned to gloom at once. "Why did you scream? Your dad was worried." He left out the part where he'd almost died of a heart attack. She didn't reply for a while. "It's - a long story," she whispered finally. "I can't tell you right now. It's got too many pieces of my past, and you wouldn't understand. But just tell him that... the Nahari have returned. For me." #strangerstolovers #friendstolovers #denial #past #revenge #war

Wings of Fire: The Final Night (Book 5)
COVER ART IS BY ME Dragon aging is different in this series- ages up to 8 are dragonet, 9 to 12 is teenager, 12 to 20 is young adult, 20+ is adult. This excuses any questions about aging. One could say that Jasmine has had a lot of character development. One worth writing a story about. It the perfect origin story for a powerful and memorable heroine, which was Jasmine's dream since she was tiny. Both her parents were dead, the world had been brought to its knees (again), and her friends were starting to give up on saving the world. Jasmine feels hopeless that she'll ever have a future worth living. Especially when Aconi rose up to her godly status, forcing those oppose her into exile and serfdom. But when she meets a dragonet who shows her faith and strength that there is possibility, Jasmine started to believe that maybe she can actually survive this. Maybe with enough dragons that really believe in a better future for all, they can finally overthrow the tyrannous queen that has Pyrrhia under her talons. But when things go wrong in the worst way possible, leaving her dangling by a thread, Jasmine must finally decide what she is destined to do: be the hero and risk it everyone she loves, or make a deal she will never forgive herself for? Join Jasmine on the final installment of the Last Day Series, where she will walk paths that hadn't been walked in millennia, dragons and ancestors that will guide her talons to victory, wherever they may go. Jasmine will face Aconi, and she will meet her destiny, whether she lives to see the next day or not.Complete
