The world was cruel long before Dagda Jern disappeared. His disappearance merely permitted it to become more wicked. Warriors of the Ironside Clan die searching for him. Families break beneath the weight of grief. Ancient grudges reignite as Northern Ethra drifts toward another age of bloodshed. Every road the Jern Family treads leads to ruin. Every promise carries a cost. Yet, Rowan Jern, the eldest daughter of Adolphus, with the aid of her other siblings and the company of the Silver Suns, refuses to stop looking for her younger brother.
For years she protected others from the darkness beyond the firelight. Now she must confront a far more terrifying possibility: The darkness may be wearing her brother's face. While kings scheme, prophets whisper, and armies gather, something ancient moves beneath the crust of the world. Something older than kingdoms, older than the gods themselves, has taken an interest in Young Dagda.
In the end, survival may demand more than courage. It may demand that they become the very thing they fear.

Dragon Bound - The Saga of Flames and Frost
Illara had trained all her life for this moment. She had been chosen - from all eligible women throughout the three kingdoms - to be presented to the dragon. Her noble sacrifice would ensure the safety of her lands for a full year. She glowed with pride at the thought. And any moment now the massive dragon would come soaring over the mountains, his massive strength and awesome power - What was this? Along a rocky pass, moving with the persistence of a love-struck cow, was something metallic. Something shiny. Her heart thundered with panic as the object drew closer and resolved into a shape. For she knew it could ruin everything. It could cause the destruction of all she held dear. It was a knight. * * * Half of all proceeds of the Dragon novelettes benefit battered women's shelters. While this first book is non-explicit, due to the strong sexual content and adult situations in future books, this romantic suspense series is recommended for readers aged 17+. The series is structured for readers to read along as I write them to offer feedback and suggestions on the complex storyline. If you're the style of reader who would prefer to wait until the entire series is finished before you tackle it, that is fine! Simply wait until the series is complete and I'll offer the boxed set. I do that with all of my books. The reason I publish as I write is that I don't write full time and it can sometimes take months for me to finish up a storyline. There are readers who don't want to wait - who would rather read along as I go and stay engaged in the process. That way they can provide feedback and suggestions on the storyline. Whichever way works well for you, I provide an option. I'd love to hear from you at my website at OpheliaSikes.com.Complete
