Arsyn FitzPatrick is a small woodelven girl of 19. On her journey to become a well known bard throughout the many kingdoms of their land, she finds herself short on money, and so she takes a dangerous job no other would. She doesn't mind of course, who could ignore the first bard to ever slay a dragon?
Mordred Drake is an infamous half dragon hiding from his family, that merely needs to eat. Sadly, the only source of food is the livestock that the people of the nearest town carelessly leave unnatended. So the jarl hires a bard, of all things, to help "deal" with him. As if a bard could do anything a paladin or high mage can't.
Just your average, run-of-the mill story of a bard and a dragon.

"I wonder... if it's done... would I feel satisfied? Maybe I'd finally be at peace... I'll know once it's done." // In a world where dragons and humans evolved together at the same rate, both species are fighting for the spot at the top of the food chain. Wynd, a powerful human clan, and Fyre, a powerful dragon clan, are engaged in a conflict that seems black and white at first glance- but is it really? Adrianna, a young Healer in the Wynd Clan, had never given much thought to the war going on around her- but then something happened that forced her to see things in a completely different light. // Short (ish?) story I wrote about two years ago when I was just starting to get the hang of this 'writing stories' thing.

The Thief's Dragon 📚 (Wings of Gold Book 1) [Old version]
[2024 Amby Awards winner] For as long as he can remember, Caldor has been forced to live a life of crime. With a group of his fellow thieves, they've stolen from practically all of the wealthier citizens of Redreach over the years. They have a system of how to go about their business, and it works. Until one day when it doesn't. Captured by guards and dragged off into the dungeons, Cal expects to be executed. What other fate could await a lifelong thief? But instead he is given an offer: his life will be spared if he steals a specific book. The catch? The owner of said book is a dragon. Caldor ends up accepting, having little choice, but he doesn't believe he will succeed. What Cal assumes will be his death turns out very differently, however, when he actually meets the dragon-a surprisingly human-looking and handsome creature called Idriseth-and very quickly becomes enamored with him. Cal may have come to steal the dragon's book, but now he wants to steal his heart. But will the always guarded Idriseth let him? Can a dragon even love a human? --------------------------- [word count: ≈ 40 000 words] ★ Featured on @Romance ★ • Book 1 - The Thief's Dragon • Book 2 - The Thief's Mate • Book 3 - The Thief's Choice • Book 4 - The Thief's Bargain • Book 5 - The Thief's Half-Dragon • Book 6 - The Thief's LoversComplete

Dragons are the apex predator. Seems pretty straight forward, but because of their threat, they have to be killed. That's pretty much the way of thinking for Kinsey and her dragon killer squadron, until Kinsey makes a mistake. She and a fellow knight, Aldwin, screwed up and lost one of their dragons and so the king puts them in charge of hunting it down and killing it. Aldwin is a smaller man with a past that no one really knows of. He's always the knight who either messes up or makes a mockery of the squadron. Kinsey absolutely hated his guts for ages, but during their trip to capture the dragon, Kinsey discovers a new side to him. Then there's Audrey, the fittest most charming, and most handsome of the dragon killers. Not only is he irresistible, he already likes her. Besides these two men, she gets kidnapped by the dragon she was supposed to kill. Suddenly, she's thrown into a whirlwind of confusion as she befriends her worst enemy and falls into a terribly conflicted love triangle, but through all of it, she believes the dragon is steering her right.Complete

An aspiring knight unwittingly saves the dragon he was sworn to kill. But can he also win the dragon's heart and stop his kingdom from burning to ashes? *** It is tradition for knights to prove their worth by slaying a dragon in the Serpentine Mountains. For Laurence Montbow, an aspiring knight from a decrepit noble house, it's his only chance to save his family from losing their land, and to secure a good marriage. After a dragon hunt gone wrong, however, Laurence finds a naked elven man with amnesia instead. Knowing the guileless elf wouldn't survive on his own, especially when trapped in his enemy's land, Laurence reluctantly takes the man along and tries to help him regain his memories. This act of goodwill turns complicated as the elven man keeps worming himself further into Laurence's heart until it becomes hard to fight the attraction.
