Karah knows of the dragons. Karah knows of their unquestionable loyalty, of their service to their riders. She knows of their strength, of their impenetrable scales and mighty muscles. Of their bravery, of their battle-readiness, their strategic minds and calm demeanors. She knows they are unbeaten when it comes to victory and majesty.

Despite being an orphan and a street-child, Karah knows of the dragons. 

But when a series of events leads to her meeting her own dragon, Karah realizes she knows less of the dragons than she thinks.

Because the dragon she meets is not a legend. The dragon she meets is not infallible, not untroubled, not calm. The dragon she meets is not victorious, not majestic. 

The dragon she meets is scared, broken, a heap of golden scales, a broken puzzle. However, as the bond between the dragon and Karah grows, Karah realizes that it's a puzzle she's willing to put back together again. Even if it means undertaking a mission that neither Karah nor her dragon will ever come back from, justice must be served, and it will be served - in the form of well-planned vengeance.

Things, though, aren't as simple as they seem. As Karah finds out more about the mysterious figure that shattered her dragon, she realizes that her own past plays a part in this too. And something bigger than that, bigger than both of their pasts, is brewing.

A revolution is simmering, and what started as a revenge mission may just be the catalyst for something bigger. 

The fall of an empire is coming.

Trumpet-song plays, and war is just around the corner...

But are the rider and her dragon ready for it?

Rise Of Orthros by AnneMarieLouiseHerd
10 parts Ongoing Mature
In the mystical world of Themdore, where dragons soar through the skies and magic intertwines with the very essence of the land, Aesthra, a formidable female mage and skilled Dragon Rider, stands as a beacon of hope against the encroaching shadows. She rides Ethiopia, a fierce and loyal dragon whose scales shimmer like molten gold, a bond forged through years of struggle and triumph. The tranquility of Azure Peak is shattered when tales of someone summoning the all powerful Skeleton King and his Demon and Skeleton army. As Aesthra delves deeper into her visions, she uncovers a prophecy that hints at the awakening of an ancient Dragon, imprisoned beneath the Ashen Mountains for centuries-a creature of unimaginable power, bound to the sorceress's will. To stop the darkness, Aesthra and the dragon riders must find this Dragon and awaken it to fight against the sorceress, but this mission requires more than just bravery; it demands confronting her innermost fears and the shadows of her past. Accompanied by her fellow Dragon Riders-each bearing their own secrets and struggles-Aesthra embarks on a perilous journey through haunted forests where the trees whisper forgotten names, across treacherous mountains cloaked in mist, and into the heart of the sorceress's lair, a fortress of despair that warps reality itself. Along the way, they encounter twisted creatures willing to do the sorceress's bidding, and Aesthra must navigate betrayals within her own ranks, as not all her comrades are content to fight for the light. As the final confrontation looms, Aesthra grapples with her destiny: will she embrace the darkness within herself to combat the sorceress, or will she risk losing everything she holds dear in the pursuit of a greater good? With Kaelith by her side, she must choose whether to awaken the ancient Dragon and unleash its fury, or to forge a path that could lead to a new kind of magic-one that balances light and dark within her soul.

Torin has always felt out of place in his small village. Despite the familiarity of his surroundings, he cannot shake the feeling that he doesn't belong. He longs for a place where he can truly be himself, away from the expectations of his people, a life free of the stifling weight of conformity. His dreams are filled with a sense of belonging, a vision of a life where he is accepted for who he is, not for who others expect him to be. One fateful day, while attending the annual Dragon Safe Arena, where dragons are brought to be killed for sport and fear, something extraordinary happens. A black dragon, larger and more majestic than any Torin has ever seen, enters the arena. The crowd erupts in excitement, but Torin feels an unexpected connection. The dragon's eyes lock onto his, and in that moment, he hears a voice-not in his ears, but in his mind. The dragon speaks to him, its words clear, yet impossible: "I see you, young one. You do not belong here." In a shock of realization, Torin understands the dragon's plea. No one else can hear it, no one else can understand the words-but Torin can. At that moment, everything changes. He chooses to defy the world he's always known, running away with the dragon, escaping the village that never understood him. As they journey together, seeking refuge in the wilds, they encounter other teens-four others-each of whom carries their own special gift. They, too, are misfits. One has the power to control the wind, another can manipulate shadows, a third can speak to animals, and the last can heal with a touch. The group of them, united by their unique abilities, form an unlikely family.
