HOUSE OF THE DRAGON and WINGS OF FIRE meets the ODYSSEY.

Hesperion Aleunor can feel the spectators' eyes on his scales when the moon rises over the sea waves. Starlight mocks him each night, knowing that he would never wake up in the same nest when dawn breaks. All it took was one incorrigible error for him to turn into a toy for celestial beings, into a vagabond bearing a peculiar curse. 

When discord erupts in the heavens above, an escape opens before him in the form of a dangerous wager, one that could cost him his life. As he fights against his curse for his freedom, a desperate Hesperion finds his fate deeply intertwined with his homeworld's. 

All the world's an arena and the heavens are waiting, breathless. What would it take for one dragon to outlast his curse?

To save the Valkyrie who broke his heart, the Fae Sea God makes a deal with the Demon Prince of the Aerial Kingdoms, but Pazuzu has a history of stealing the women Manannan loves. *** When Mist visits her parents' home in California, she assumes the worst she'll deal with is their narcissist tendencies and shallow lifestyle. They've never seen eye-to-eye on her decision to become a Valkyrie. Still, it gives her somewhere to lick her wounds after Manannan's betrayal pierced her heart. But the oceanside home isn't the haven she'd hoped when recent enemies decide on payback. They didn't count on her catching the eye of Pazuzu, the Dragon Demon Prince of the Aerial Kingdoms, when they stranded her on Muspelheim. Manannan Mac Lir is conflicted. The cold shoulder from Mist has him seeking answers. When the Valkyrie he can't forget turns up missing, more than his heart is in danger. How much is he willing to risk when she has already burned him once? Is it worth dealing with that smooth-talking dragon that stole his wife's love, then failed to protect her a few thousand years ago? Surely history won't repeat itself.

The Domestic Dragon by MostlyAlexLeigh
49 parts Complete
[COMPLETE] [[**Sequel, The Hybrid Harold, is up!**]] The first generation past the war has settled and the result is something no one from the past would recognize. In the United Human Alliance, the human run country that takes up much of the land mass that used to be the United States, magical children are taken from their parents and sent to boarding school at a young age. What provides humanity with safety from 'volatile' magical beings separates parents from their children and young adults from their culture. Alenia Paetzold is the prime example of what the UHA has created. A domestic dragon. That's why they never expect her to find her wings and burn the cage she is held in to the ground. Getting there, however, takes a prophecy, a lot of lies, and overwhelming love. "For The War Is Lost if They Can Not Win Their Child's Life Lost for Their Sin" ***OMG IT GOT TO NUMBER 1 IN MATRIARCHY!*** ***AND #4 IN FANTASY-ROMANCE!*** Trigger Warnings: Death. If you find something I have overlooked (which may happen, I've read this book a million times) please let me know and I will update! July 2020: I've entered this story to the 2020 Watty Awards! Please please vote! Thank you!
Fate and Destiny (The Fated Series, #2) by _Hiraeth_Author_

A kingdom across the sea, a man in pain clawing at a hated king who bears two shadows who protect him. A child, born from a mother with the powers of the Gods, screaming at a blood-soaked bed. A boy, a Prince, kind and full of the flame of life, sitting beneath a moon bug lit sky. Darkness enfolds the lands, its grasp claiming the continent and making its way from an already broken island, only to be stopped by the hands of fate. The hands of the girl and the Prince, and their love for the people in need of protection. This is their prophecy. This is their destiny and their fate depends on it. The Elemental rulers and their family are just beginning to find allies from unlikely and unimaginative places while creatures of myth and legend resurface from their campfire tales, and things aren't going as planned, so they'll have to find myths and legends of their own. Shouldn't be too hard. #6 - #strong-heroine #41 - #banter **Average Word Count Per Chapter: 8,000 **Edited (x2) LET ME KNOW IF YOU SPOT GRAMMAR ISSUES! *****Last Edited: 12/14/2024 NOTE FROM ME! - I very much model my works to resemble published examples, so there are no notes in any chapters from me, trigger warnings for chapters, etc. Just the world my brain likes to escape to every now and then.

Book One is finally complete, please look forward to Book Two, The Chronicles of Arnora: The Zemorian Invasion! Thousands of years ago there was a great war between the powers of light and darkness. The army of good had defeated the powers of evil, however darkness doesn't truly die.... Now thousands of years later that evil has returned to finish what it started all those years ago. The hope of saving the world now rests on the shoulders of one young man. Can he stop this evil before it rises again? Or will the darkness snuff out the light and reign supreme? Find out in the first exciting installment of The Chronicles of Arnora: The Curse of the Blood Moon! My story takes place on a alternate Earth, in the fictional realm of Arnora. A place abundant with magic and full of different races such as Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, Witches and Wizards. I've taking inspiration from some of my favorite well known sources to bring this story to life. Some of them include The Lord of the Rings, The Witcher, Eragon and even Harry Potter. If you enjoy epic fantasy stories then I think you'll enjoy my story The Chronicles of Arnora: The Curse of the Blood Moon. This is an original story of my own creation with my own original characters. Before I started publishing my story on Wattpad I've had several people read it and they've told me it was good and they enjoyed reading it and I hope you all enjoy it as well. I've always been told I have a very active and creative imagination and I should use that i it a like and follow for more chapters to come. Please feel free to point out any grammatical errors you find that I may have missed as I'm constantly editing the story to make it better. *If any names in my story are that of real world people it's completely coincidental, I use a random name generator, which creates countless names, to help with the naming of some of my characters.

Prince Envy thinks he has been, supposedly, 'blessed' by an animus dragon when he was just an egg. He has the ability to turn 'berserk', a form where he increases his size four times larger than the average dragon... some kind of super-soldier, with other powers that are not common in Pyrrhian dragons.. this HAS to be some kind of animus magic at work. But all goes wrong when he accidentally reveals his abilities, and his power-hungry family attempts to use Envy for their own bidding. Seeing the destruction of his family before him, once Envy escapes the claws of the NightWings, he tries to get the Gem of Tyranny before the seven tribes of Pyrrhia ultimately destroy him and each other for it. In the process, he learns how it truly feels to be in a game of thrones. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cover art was made by SassyTurtle (me). Art in chapters made by SassyTurtle (me).

She is a monster, a nightmare, a killer, who dreams of an ancient battlefield and a different, brutal world where stars fall and dark blood stains the earth. Kye Merran is an Ember, one who wields fire magic. When a childhood friend shows up at his house with a strange girl who is bleeding black blood, he knows that he's getting into something he definitely shouldn't. Especially when the Dark King of Rurik, who may have much more to him than it seems, is looking to conquer another kingdom or two, preferably with a powerful, dark queen at his side. But Kye can't seem to stay away from the mysterious girl with the blood of Darkness. And Val can't stay away from Kye either, no matter how much she claims that she hates him. As Val, Kye, and their friends race to stop the Dark King and his approaching army, what they don't realize is that they are playing a part in an ancient, deadly game, a game between the light and the dark, one years in the making. But it is a game which neither of them can win, for their fates have already been determined by the desperate Gods, written in blood among the stars.

"You will seek death but you will not find it. You will long to lose consciousness but ever present you shall stay. Finally alone you will shrivel up and die without your own kind in all your magnificent splendor, and only after everyone you love is dead. By then, it will no longer matter, for when you finally have your light you will depart from it faster than fire from a raging wind. But perhaps you would have comfort yet little one. Death is a sweet thing in a world like this." Cursed by a Wishing Dragon when she was only a dragonet, Stygian sets off in search of a cure, leaving behind everyone she knows and loves. On her journey for help she meets more enemies than friends, with a little red fox as her only companion. At last she finds Turbulence; God of Confusion; the only one who can save her, or so he or she claims. *** Fyran, the Librarian's Apprentice is on the hunt for Leviathan; a legendary beast long foretold by prophecy, a prophecy she had disregarded as an old fable. Yet, ever since her father stumbled into their broken down house one dark night covered in blood and deliriously talking about a dragon with iron teeth, Fyran is no longer so sure. After her father dies and renders them all penniless, Fyran goes in search of this creature to take revenge-and the huge bounty on its head issued by the King of Sufta. Perhaps she will be successful and they'll no longer have to grovel as the poorest of the poor, and at the very least she'll acquire justice for the murder of her father, the only father she's ever had. But there is an old and forgotten prophecy as old as time fast approaching on the horizon. Nobody can stop it, fate is a force that can't be reckoned with, and everything that ever has and will ever happen to every citizen has already been foretold in their scrolls. The fate of Sufta is uncertain, and powerful forces are at play, but who has enough discernment to understand a long forgotten prophecy that's been dismissed by generations?

*Featured on Fantasy's Dark Fantasy reading list!* ► Book One of the Wings Trilogy This is, by no means, a story for those light of heart. This is also, unfortunately, a true story. I am a doctor with wings, one who doesn't belong here. I know, stereotypical. But it's true. Still confused? I used to be an angel. I caused the apocalypse of the planet inhabited by the very creatures I was supposed to help. It was the only way to help them, really. But that's a different story for a different day. Now, the surviving humans have emerged from the rubble, soaking in the damage left over from my destructive actions. What are they supposed to do about that? I have been cast upon earth, given the task of taking care of them and healing them. I suppose I have to clean up after myself. I doubt, however, that I have any chance of returning home to Elvirund. Or, as the humans call it, Heaven. You see, all of them are wounded. And the Elders are coming after me. ---------------------------------------------------- Rated Mature for: infrequent/mild cursing, mild graphic content Beautiful cover thanks to @leaving_forever Started: Jul 17, 2016 Ended: May 14, 2017

FORMER TITLE: Élan: A Youngblood World "Beware that you become not the very monster you ought to slay." In a world where magic holds the essence to life, there is still no telling where fate determines your place will be. When the Cardinal Empire of Nyrhaea and its time-forsaken creatures declare war on the human world, an immortal dark entity in the guise of a human, a grieving swordsman, an electric-manipulating technocrat, an unhinged fire-breathing boy, and a magic-less girl whose very existence defies the Laws of Mahika, venture to stop the prophecied, apocalyptic world war. All the while dealing with the complications of entering adulthood. With the grotesque inside him growing hungrier by the day, threatening him of the looming hour to fulfill destiny's bidding to be the key to the end of the world--where death is an impossible remedy to attain--the entity resorts to a mysterious girl who could only be his last hope to achieve freedom from the shackles of fate. An antidote given not without an undefined price. But how long can he endure to bury the roots of the calling past? And what are they willing to risk to liberate a cruel world beyond saving that hangs in the state of trust and sanity? *~* Contains Mature Contents: gore, violence, and subtle depictions of abuse, substance use, and suicide.
