The cost for Solariann's magic is her sanity. 

As a Sympathe, Solariann can detect and read other people's emotions. When she comes into contact with one of the Touched--wraiths who devour souls--her magic awakens into something powerful, giving her abilities she's never seen or heard of before. But it's so powerful it drives her to madness. Driven by a delusion that she will be Queen and leader of the Sympathes, Solariann infiltrates a Hatching and Bonds with a dragon, sparking a chain of events that will change her life forever. 

The crown takes her into custody and learns her magic makes her invulnerable to the Touched. Since her madness makes her a danger to herself and others, they give her one month to defeat the Touched and prove her mental stability to become a fully fledged Dragon Rider. The cost of failure is her life. 

To help in her task, the Council of Five assigns her a trainer to become a Rider: Lord Kiernan, the bastard son of the Dragon King with ambitions to take over the throne despite his illegitimacy. And to ensure her madness doesn't hurt anyone else, they also assign her a guard: Dariann, an arrogant Rider with a mysterious background and past. While they search for a way to destroy the Touched, Solariann finds her heart torn between the two very different young men. 

Their research reveals a menacing plot decades in the making, starting with their ancient ancestors and a God of Destruction. To make matters worse, Solariann's bloodline may trace back to an ancient, noble lineage tied to prophecy. Now, the Touched are tied to the very source of magic within their country, Salachar, and if they don't find a way to heal the source of magic, an army of the Touched will decimate the world.

I am the Queen of the Dark by CalistaSalsabila

This world is huge and beautiful. Yet, it also has so many mystery in it. Still, I hate this world. For me, it's just a full pile of trash. Thousands of fake words exist in this world. Not just this world, but also the other worlds. Including mine. Oh what a piece of trash. So many hypocrites exist in this unpredictable huge galaxy. Like those people who supported you, then stabbed you from the back. Those who smiled this second, then spit out their bad words towards you in the next second. Those who were with you this minute, then dumped you like you're nothing, until your distance with them was like the Earth and the Moon, in the next minute. Those who protected you this hour, then tried to destroy you in the next hour. So...trash. What is family? They're nothing but the annoying people whom always tied me up to follow whatever they said. It's like I'm their pet, instead of their daughter who wished to be free. What is friend? They're no more than those who used you, then dumped you when you're no longer needed in this world. It's all Hell. Hell I say. I don't need family! Nor friends! Or even love, or anything in this awful place. I just wanted to be alone. Alone and free. Yes, your eyes were not wrong! I'm so sick, that I wanted to be all by myself for the rest of my life. Yet, why...is it so painful..to see them go? ***** She is pretty. With her glowing silver hair, she looked like the Princess who was blessed by the Moonlight. Her skin is as white as snow, yet pale like the corpses. Her eyes...are as red as blood. She fell to our world along with the falling meteor. She saw the beautiful earth along with the downfall of her kingdom. And when she started to stand on her own feet, she could never say the word 'Mom' and 'Dad' anymore. Born in the darkness, she came to destroy the peaceful Earth, along with all the living beings in it. But as time passed, as she met new people, it all began to change.

The Inured Villainess by emwritesbookstories

Inure: (v.) To accustom to accept something undesirable, evil, or painful. An other worldly girl is reincarnated as Queen Estella de Royalis, the villainess of a novel that is killed by her own husband. Having no other choice, she strives to save herself from that fate. However, the novel she read is not the reality she believed. ______ I tried on another, a red one this time. I twirl in its large skirt. "This one matches your eyes," I say as I spin. "This one too." I stop, putting my hands on my hips. "Are you going to order all of them?" "If I want to, yes, I will." He doesn't budge. I sigh, sitting next to him. "You know that you don't have to do this. I can go buy my own dresses." "I know, but I want to see you wear dresses that I chose. Besides, is it so wrong to want to spend time with you?" ______ Note: This is entirely my work. I want to see if I'm able to write something without a plot set up for me. I hope you like it!

A witch shows up one late after noon and offers her magic mirror, that can show her the outside world from just looking into it. She only needs to imagine the place she wants to see and will be there. The princess though was being a jerk so the witch cursed the mirror. Making it so that the princess ever looked into it, she will become a fearsome dragon. "The princess will no longer be a princess and she will see the world she desperately wants to see. Her soft skin will turn scaled. Her silk like hair will disappear and be replaced with sharp horns. She will be the monster outside as that she is inside." Whispered the witch.

Scar of Breath by RiaHuck

An era of uncertainty arrived, and the remaining Kingdoms were left to pick up the pieces. Zephyr, the Scar of Breath, is on a path of vengeance. She enters the fighting pits of Ithlon to gain access to the King of Blissdor, his kingdom, and the treasures it holds. However, the Prince of Blissdor becomes an obstacle she never saw coming.

Fireheart by TheNightwisher

"A dragon and its rider. They are not mere companions but a single entity, united in spirit and purpose until their last breath." - Flight Master Soren Beck. Falamor was divided into two regions, The North and The South. In the northern reaches lies Ashe Academy, a prestigious battle academy dedicated to training elite Dragon Riders for the approaching war against the Southern kingdom, which sought to bring the North to its knees. Jaeda was a 19-year-old orphan conscripted into Ashe Academy. Could she survive to become a Dragon Rider? Carlyle Rayne was a privileged Prince of the North who was expected to attend Ashe Academy and gain the same prestige as his family. Surviving was one thing; mastering combat and Dragonology was another, especially under the watch of the Wing Commander, who happened to be Prince Carlyle Rayne. Would Jaeda remain Flightless or soar higher than she could ever imagine? "Dragons are a proud and ancient species. They have ruled the sky long before humanity, were once the rulers of this realm." - Hana Kol, Master Dragonologist of Ashe Academy. *** Before you ask, NO - FOUTH WING didn't inspire me; it was How to Train Your Dragon and Game of Thrones. Hence, the tags to get my story noticed. I'm sorry for the confusion. This is NOT fan fiction of either of those fandoms. It's my story. It's unedited, a work in progress, a passion project. I would love feedback! Both in Jaeda's POV and Carlyle's POV. Content warning: Foul/ offensive language, fighting, blood, slavery, torture, animal cruelty, dismemberment, burning and gore, sexual assault, variety of sexual content: sunshine/grumpy, GENTLE dominance, light kink, power dynamics, angst, hurt-comfort, fluff, yearning, rivalry to lovers, forbidden romance, and risk of genuinely falling in love.

As she steps foot outside of her Kingdom for the first time she will have to face the fact that everything she has been taught will be turned on its head. Will Cahira push past what she knows and grow stronger, or will her previous knowledge hold her back from achieving success. Can she make her family proud and be the Brawn everyone expects her to be or will she crack under the pressure. Cahira can only pray to Soladach that everything will be Alright, or at least somewhat manageable. This book is a sister book to my friends! She writes as one of the other main characters Adara, but from her perspective, so if that interests you definitely check hers out! Just so you know this is the first book I have ever written so please take that into mind when reading it. If you see any grammar issues, spelling mistakes, or plot holes, please be sure to tell me and I will fix them as soon as I can! Enjoy reading!
