The other realm series book one: The Dragon Kingdom

Millions of years ago, we shared the world with magical people and creatures. It was normal to see fae, dragons, werewolves, vampires, mermaids, and many other creatures every day. Over time, the humans without magic became jealous and fearful of those who did. They hunted all with magic and discovered they could temporarily get their own magic by using the blood or other body parts of those who were born with magic. Dragon blood allowed humans to manipulate and be immune to fire for twenty-four hours. Mermaid scales were valuable, for they were shiny and beautiful than any jewel. Their blood let you breathe under water for a limited time. Werewolf heads were mounted on walls as trophies. Fae wings were collected for their beauty, and their hair could be used in a spell to use harness their magic for a limited time. The kings and queens of each race combined their powers to create a parallel world connected to ours where they could live and be safe from hunters. They called it the other realm, and each race had their own land. The only way to get to the other realm is through your races gate. Each gate is hidden somewhere in the human realm and guarded twenty-four seven. The only way to find the gates is a clue hidden on a statue somewhere in the world. These are the stories of those magical people and their world today.
