action conflict curse dragons identity magic mystery shape-shifting survival

As the skies above Avantica blackened with the smoke rising from the smouldering ruins of what was once the thriving capital of human civilization, everything became clear. The war was lost, the world beyond saving. One, lone dragon was difficult enough to kill- but an entire, united army of such beasts was impossible to beat. 

 Humans used to live everywhere, from bustling coastal trade ports to tiny, inland agricultural villages. Now, within the space of a couple of years, almost every sign of human culture has been burnt to the ground, and the few souls lucky enough to survive the onslaught have retreated to concealed slums. Their only hope is to remain hidden and pray that they are not discovered, for none have faced a dragon alone and returned to tell the tale... That is, until Clayde Austin discovered his strange gift for shape-shifting.

 Armed with his new found power, Clayde takes to the skies in search of answers and solutions, but not even he can control the darkness within his soul.Todos os Direitos Reservados

Rune, de Chrix_Writes

"Death can have me when it earns me. Until then, I'm a shadow in the chaos-a name they whisper but never catch." __________________________________________________________________________________ Rune was never meant to survive. Trained as an assassin and marked with runes of power, they were forged into a weapon for a shadowy empire. But when a mission reveals a forbidden truth about the magic that binds them, Rune is forced to betray their masters and become the hunted. Now, caught between a ruthless rebellion and their deadly past, Rune must uncover the secrets of the runes before they destroy what little humanity they have left. But in a world where trust is a weapon and loyalty is a curse, survival isn't just a battle-it's a choice.

The Whispering Paradox, de Yin_Xiao-long

"History is a lie. Fate is a script. And I refuse to be just another forgotten page." In a world where reality is a fragile illusion, where history has been rewritten so many times that even the gods have forgotten the original truth, Xion Trinity Pendragon is an anomaly-an existence that should not be. Branded as a Paradox by the celestial rulers of the Divine Concord, Xion is hunted across the fractured remnants of time itself. But the deeper he runs, the more he begins to unravel a horrifying secret-he has existed before. And each time, he has failed. Fate itself seems set against him, but Xion refuses to be erased. Armed with Willbreaker, a weapon that nullifies and adapts to all forces, and guided by cryptic whispers from the Black Star Paradox, he embarks on a desperate quest to defy the cycle of destruction that has consumed countless versions of himself before. But he is not alone in this struggle. Clover, his once closest ally, now stands against him-believing that stopping Xion is the only way to prevent a catastrophe greater than any before. The Devourer Kingdom, a race of warriors that feed on the strength of their enemies, sees Xion as their unclaimed heir. And the Sealed Academies, the keepers of forbidden knowledge, whisper that the truth he seeks should never be known. As the cycle nears its breaking point, as betrayals, revelations, and impossible choices stack upon one another, Xion must face the ultimate question: If reality itself has already decided his fate... can he truly escape it? Or has he already lost?

Dragon's Lover {KiriBaku}, de Felony-Chan

The world's war against dragons has been going on for generations, but no one knows why they fought. After years of fighting a new species emerged, shapeshifters. They were able to shift between a dragon and human form, making them impossible to find. Everyone referred to them as halflings, half dragon and half human. They were said to have wondrous abilities ranging from an armor like pelt to healing powers. These abilities made them prized creatures and wanted across all lands. Those that were discovered usually ended up as pets or fighters in arena's. After five years of their existence they all went into hiding, fearing what the humans did to those that had been captured. They were taught at a young age to never show what they could do to a human, as it would lead to being caught and possibly killed. There were small sanctuaries in each town, though they appeared to be normal hotels or orphanages. And this is when our story takes place.... Warnings: - Smut - Blood & Gore - Character death - Fluff *I don't own any of these characters and all credit goes to the creator*

dragon rebirth, de nathansasser

The dragons have come and gone since the Pliocene epoch when Wooly Mammoths roamed with humans during the ice age. For many of the I and E generation in the Americas and parts of Europe, it was something to avoid being taken by them to their world. But many knew the stories they told, the things they saw and missed, and in this world of social media, the child coming home, reborn as a shifter. For 16-year-old Nathan that was his reality. For 11 years he's not only avoided getting grabbed but helped others avoid a similar fate. But a black dragon was watching him grabbing him only to lay low in the nearby woods, something they did to pick out who'd they take. It did that for 10 years, more than 3 times longer than usual. His actions and the amount of time he had avoided them made him a sort of celebrity in his town in the midwest. But one day that black dragon made its decision, he was to be her hatchling. When they're usually marked the child could turn to protective mode, running from home to prevent drawing attention to other children for the picking, and that's what he did, right to where they last landed. Luck, choice, a possible spell in those claws, whatever you may think doesn't matter. A black dragon never misses its mark. With agility unsurpassed by the other types they're almost impossible to avoid. But these dragons didn't breathe fire, were a threat, nor in any way the size of a 747 max. All they had that was unique from other creatures was a highly evolved brain with the intelligence of a human and a heart of platinum. Note. Some creatures don't belong to me in any way.

Abducted for the Pack, de NataliaPrim

Extended SAMPLE! Book is live on Amazon & Kindle Unlimited! Monsters are real... and I'm in love with them. Coasting through my last year of college, I take a chance on a frat party and wake up later surrounded by monsters. What follows is an encounter I couldn't scrub from my brain if I tried. Worst of all, I don't want to. I'm tossed into their world where any hope of escape is wrecked by the filthy-mouthed alpha and his pack's obsession with me. They show me pleasure-and pain-like I never thought possible. Even love. But our fledgling bonds are tested too soon, as we're pitted against rival packs, ancient foes, warring factions, crazy zealots, and an illusion of choice which could leave me irreversibly changed. Contains: ✓ Multi-pov ✓ Inter-pack relationships ✓ Unique world-building ✓ A veritable buffet of romantic pairings ⚠ This s a dark, Poly Erotic Romance, which means there's lots of s3x and actual plot, with content not suitable for persons who clutch their pearls.
