Henryk is but a modest steward in the large camp that is seeking out to go to battle with King Harwyn's army, the whole battalion awaiting orders from their commander. On this morning he has burned a cauldron of soup meant for the group of men he's in charge of providing for. Not the best way to start the day off, no doubt. However it only gets worse when a dragon comes flying down from the heavens and burns everything else within the camp.
At least his soup is saved from such torture.
The most peculiar thing of all however is that Henryk himself gets blanketed by flames and is expected to be a thriving hot mess at the end of all it; becoming a pile of viscous liquid is the only sane thing one could expect after seeing a man get bathed in dragon flame.
But he isn't. He's perfectly fine.

Talos and Cyrus
War is coming... yet no one knows. The Deplorable festers in his anger, his rage newly ignited as one of his own suddenly betrays him, rocking him to his core. He seethes alone, waiting... For five hundred years, dragons and men have been isolated from each other, becoming mortal enemies after a bloody war tore apart their once peaceful alliance. They have spoken ill of each other ever since, the tales of their momentous battle warped by storytellers for generation upon generation. Cyrus leaves behind everything he's ever known, his family, his home, his village. He ventures out on his own with nothing more than a mangy old pack mule at his side. He dreams of wealth and riches, of stability and endless feasts, and he hopes to find work as he ventures out into the wilds of Crasmere. However, his plans take an abrupt turn when he is ambushed by monsters only found in one's deepest nightmares and, when he feels all hope is lost... something saves him. A creature no one has seen in five centuries. A creature many have presumed to have died long ago, gone extinct and wiped from the land all together. A creature said to thirst for blood and raw flesh, a beast with a roar to deafen all. A dragon.Complete

His new queen, not a match for her predecessor, soon became a tyrannous monarch hellbent on causing pain for those who did not accept her. One of those was her step-son, the Prince Taiden, who would one day rule the kingdom. Considered mad by those around him, Taiden is believed to have been consumed by grief, but the young prince has spent ten years playing a very dangerous game; a game of poison and secrets to keep the Kingdom his mother adored, safe. On the outskirts of Lyris is an outcast; a young girl with scales on her neck and a dagger in her belt. Xylia is a hunter who is watching the last of her people succumb to a death no one can stop. With fire in her veins, her encounter with Prince Taiden leaves her wanting blood, and answers. Will the Kingdom of Lyris fall at the hands of Queen Devanna, or can a Poison Prince and a girl descended from beasts save it?Complete

And, every day, the war chews up and spits out the lives of conscripts. When a soldier appears in need of saving, Riverly's skills and quick thinking are not enough.

The reward for her efforts? The soldier orders Riverly by sword-point to meet the man commanding the Imperial forces, the Lord High Commander, a man known for his cunning and brutal tactics. What Riverly finds in the mysterious commander, however, is something both familiar and treacherous. Where she can snatch life away from the grip of death, he can call upon the deadly shades of the netherworld to strip men of their souls. Riverly now must make a choice: Enter the Lord High Commander's service and win the war, while risking her humanity and freedom, or flee and allow the shadow of death to grow across the Empire and endanger everyone she loves.
