Leona Everling is the owner of the Tale's End Inn, and her inn is usually the last stop for adventurers before they make their way up to the monster-infested castle overlooking the secluded town of Archimare. They'll come in, have a meal, maybe rent a room, and then attempt to raid Castle Dragonspine for whatever treasure they can find. However, since most of the town is secretly helping the monsters, adventurers unknowingly walk towards their deaths and resurrect in a faraway place, leaving their possessions behind to be looted. After experiencing food poisoning in Leona's inn, a young adventurer named Kyrion Draco finds himself abandoned, his party dies, and he uncovers Archimare's dark secret, leading himself to become involved in the town's plot to rob adventurers alongside monsters.
This is a world of adventurers seeking fame and fortune. This is an innkeeper with a plan to take advantage of them. This is a village on the edge of a culture of heroes. This is Archimare, the town where Tales End.

Scentless Sovarielle (Scentmarked #1)
Sovarielle was born into a legacy of music and magic-one of the legendary sound dragons of Whispervale. But everything changed the day an attack stole her sense of smell, severing her from the bond that connects dragonkind. Exiled by instinct and grieving the loss of her family and horde, she vanished into the human world, learning to navigate life through sound instead of scent. In dragon society, scent is everything. It guides memory, emotion, and-most importantly-connection. It is how dragons recognize their mates. Without it, Sovarielle is considered broken, untethered... alone. Years later, a single misstep leads her back into dragon territory-and into a storm of long-forgotten alliances, mythical creatures, and rising tensions. From sirens guarding sacred seas to secretive centaurs with ancient wisdom, Sovarielle's path is shaped by those who see her not as damaged, but different. And as feelings deepen between her and a dragon who seems to know more than he says, she begins to wonder: If dragons find their mates by scent... will she ever truly know if she's found hers? A map of the country is included in the prologue, showing dragon territories, human cities, and key locations mentioned throughout the story. For readers who enjoy diving deeper, I've also created The Scentmarked Archive, which includes an interactive map and expanded lore exploring ancient dragon territories, mysterious islands, siren legends, shifter homelands, and more. You can find the link to the archive and map in my bio. Thank you so much for choosing to step into this world with me.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
The Dragon's Treasured Mate

She never dreams that the truth will lead to magic, dragons, and murderous cults. Though her attraction for the dragon shifter Tahir Gujic is undeniable, her desire to get to the bottom of the mystery forces them apart.

The Evil and The Rock
Oleander the Evil (Half forest nymph, half serpent) Boredom is best soothed amongst company. Even more as events unfold around you like a play. A princess turned into a rock, a destitute king and a rich foreign prince. I did not intend for my heart to get caught by Alana as she gained back her body. Her magic is too promising for me not to take her back to my tower. I'm not saying that only because her pheromones are triggering my bloom. Alana the Rock (Magical human) I was the sole princess of Westford, trapped in the royal castle, tucked into a quaint valley. As the only child of King Leonard, I was his only pawn. The day I was to marry under his decree was the day my mother's death was announced. That morning, I turned into a boulder. My father had invited a sea of charlatans to undo what was interpreted as a curse. Amongst them a true wizard, hiding himself in his magical cloak eating the bone of a goose leg. He undid my metamorphosis. Calling himself a monstrous abomination, it becomes clear that he is simply overdramatic, and oddly handsome.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
A Prophecy of Fire
Legend of the Torchbearer - Book One Most children are lulled to sleep by softly sung lullabies or the sound of snoring family members, I fell asleep to the roar of dragon-song thundering through the mountain known as Beinn Na Nathrach; named for the creatures who first made it their home. Dragons roamed the world long before men, and at their height, nobody could have foreseen their downfall. Now Beinn Na Nathrach is the last nest, and the riders of Dùn Ceò - the ancient fortress carved into the mountainside - are the crumbling remnants of a once noble and powerful sept of armies the world over. As an orphan brought up within the walls of a dragon keep, following orders and watching the riders train is as close as I'll ever get to joining their ranks. Life for me is laid out as a servant, with my place secure as the ward of one of the commanders. I can see it ahead of me; the years of mucking out stables, fetching food, mending clothes and equipment, when all my heart aches for is to know how it feels to see wings stretched out either side of me. Yet the monotony of life is shaken when a hatchling is found in the forest, and rumours of rebellion in the most Northern villages begin to spring up. But why would a few unruly farmers require an entire contingent of well-armed soldiers who seem overly interested in the goings on in Dùn Ceò? If the hatchling didn't come from the last known nest, where did he come from? And what does it have to do with a legend told as a bed time story?

Willa and her friends are enjoying their night partying to celebrate her twenty-first birthday, when their lives are abruptly upended and thrown into disarray as they're cast from the human world they know so well. They find themselves in Faerie, a land fraught with perils and magic and a myriad of unworldly creatures, both good and bad. Willa is confronted by her past and who she once was when she comes face to face with an old foe she thought she would never see again, and her friends must quickly adjust to this strange, new land and survive the hardships and trials that are thrown their way. Together they must travel through the fae kingdoms, each more treacherous than the last, and restore balance to the world Willa had once called home.

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.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
