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?

The House of Atreus | ONC 2023 Shortlist by amaranthine_dreams

The House of Atreus bears a curse. One steeped in blood and nourished by decades of violence. Klytemnestra knew this when she married Agamemnon, but being a princess in Sparta doesn't leave you with much choice, though she longs for it. The Fates spin their threads impassively but all Klytemnestra wants, is to be free of the shackles that bound her. Iphigenia has always been the perfect daughter, the perfect princess, beloved by both her people and her father. With Greece on the brink of war, destiny chooses her to fulfil a higher purpose. But she might just have to sacrifice everything. Elektra is sick of being held down by those in power. Despite being a princess, she is living a life in poverty, one she didn't choose. But when her brother returns home after a long absence, she might just take matters into her own hands. *** Three women. Three secrets. Three tangled lives. *** This story is intended for an adult audience and features depictions of violence, murder and sexual encounters as well as mentions of rape, incest, cannibalism, and suicide.

Curse Uncurse - ONC 2020 [Completed] by MeredithAll

Just like all the other Dragon Heirs of age, Plamen attends The Grand Test of Power so the Gods can judge who of them is worthy of breaking the curse that binds Dragon kind to human bodies. Not many managed to pass the test - you can count them on the fingers of one hand. Even worse, only one person came close to breaking the curse, yet failed. Plamen will do anything to succeed, even unwillingly team up with two other Dragon Heirs. Zima and Vid are interesting companions, though, ones he thinks he doesn't need. The obstacle appearing in front of them is not something anyone could predict but, to their utter bafflement, they pass the Test. However, it comes at a steep price. Because now, they just need to find out how to stay alive. From one corner it's Goddess Nužda's minions attacking them - and not just them, but their friends, families, everyone's at risk - and from another, it's the political machinations of adult dragons that make this endeavor almost impossible. '...what price are you willing to pay?' The ancient prophecy speaks of the three that will be victorious, but it's not complete and the missing parts are ones they need to be wary of.

Crown of Greed and Power by NicoleWrites11

["You look like hell," she stated at last. Azlan scoffed, "Likewise." She continued to study him through suspicious eyes and he couldn't help but wonder what she looked like beneath all the dried blood. He could tell she was unique though, definitely intriguing. ### "You think you know everything?" She turned to him in challenge, but Azlan only stared the female down, unbothered. "You don't know anything." "Don't I? It doesn't take a person with eyes to recognize all that built up anger and pain sizzling inside you." "Stay the fuck out of my business."] While grieving the loss of her boyfriend, huntress Nera Atherton made it to her mission to kill every beast she can hunt down to avenge her love. Two years pass when she crosses paths with a mysterious and arrogant man, Azlan, who claims to be searching for his sister's killer. When her uncle vanishes without a trace, Nera and Azlan put aside their differences to track down the threat endangering their home, Asteria. However, as Nera finds herself drawn to Azlan, she remains unaware that he harbors a dangerous secret-one that could put her life in grave danger.

A kind soul who listens to her people, the girl that grows up in the royal field, and learns how to rule her kingdom while still having fun. The princess loved by many within her kingdoms walls. She, just like many, gets invited to a royal ball from the Celestial Kingdom. Many others are quite excited for this ball, but not for the reason one may think.

There is a twist in this story though, with princess Y/n soon to be queen, she has one obstacle in the way. That obstacle being that she needs a partner to rule alongside her. Of course, after a few dates with princes, princesses, and even commoners, she still hasn't made a decision. So she ends up getting put in an arranged marriage, but once she meets these princes at the ball, something just sparks inside of her. Will she, Y/n, fall for one of the princes, or will she end up marrying someone who is not the love of her life? ໒꒱ ‧₊˚ || ʙᴏᴏᴋ 1 ᴏꜰ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴛᴀʀꜱʙᴏʀɴ ꜱᴇʀɪᴇꜱ || ₊˚⊹♡ ~(𝔗𝔥𝔦𝔰 𝔟𝔬𝔬𝔨 𝔥𝔞𝔰 𝔟𝔞𝔯𝔢𝔩𝔶, 𝔦𝔣 𝔫𝔬𝔱, 𝔞𝔫𝔶 𝔩𝔬𝔯𝔢 𝔱𝔥𝔞𝔱 𝔦𝔰 𝔠𝔞𝔫𝔬𝔫 𝔞𝔫𝔡 𝔬𝔯 𝔞𝔠𝔠𝔲𝔯𝔞𝔱𝔢 𝔱𝔬 𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔬𝔤 𝔩𝔬𝔯𝔢.)~ ৎ°․ 「 © ᏒᏂᎥᏁᏋᏕᏖᎧᏁᏋ ᎮᏒᎧᎴᏬፈᏖᎥᎧᏁᏕ | ᏒᏬᏰᎩ 」

When Elio meets Zillah in a bar he frequents, he is instantly captivated and will do anything to get close.

The Convert Queen: Prophecy Fulfilled by sammiscribbles

* ONC 2023 Shortlister * "She caught the eye of one of the horsemen, and something in his face caused her to pause mid-step. The man he was standing with, realising he was being ignored, turned to see what he was staring at, and his mouth fell open. 'Arner! The prophecy!' he hissed. That seemed to attract the attention of the whole party, and before Aleyna knew what had occurred, they had all stopped what they were doing, and stared openly at her, before tilting their head in her direction, bowing. The last of the men to lower his head, the one who had first spotted her, was now biting his lip, something like worry creasing his brow, before he too bowed." * * * Aleyna, a professor at Lyknisia's Academika, is from a world of science and reason. To her, magic is something found in children's stories. It's not real, has never been real, and never will be real, and nothing anyone can say will change her mind. Arnerstrom, known as Arner, is King of Mynythia. He is from a world of magic and spirits. A world where the unseen is just as powerful as the known, and where prophecy dictates almost everything. But when a prophecy appears to be fulfilled by chance, Aleyna is whisked away from her books at the behest of Arnerstrom, and taken to a land of mystery and secrets. A land where magic is very real and spirits govern all. Set in the same world as The Winter Ghost, but located many kingdoms apart, The Convert Queen is a fantasy romance novella where what you see isn't always what you need to know.

Storm Dragons by LSReisWorlds

In an ancient warring land, the champions of the Dragon God keep the peace through duels to the death, but when a bloody prophecy puts a sacred warrior between revenge and duty, his choices can change the fate of the world and unleash the all out war he was bound to prevent. ***** What would happen if a fantasy book could present a rich, unprecedented universe, but at the same time brought together the best of Game of Thrones' mature realistic approach with the epic action of 300 and the inspiring atmosphere of heroism of The Lord of the Rings? And what if it were written from one of the world's most awarded unproduced film scripts in its genre, resulting in a revolutionary style, the Cinenovel, in which instead of feeling like just reading a great story you can witness it while an unforgettable movie unfolds before your mind's eye.? What if this same story, amidst legendary battles and startling twists, could make you cheer, cry, thrill, and finally amaze yourself with a breathtaking ending? The answer may be before you... MAKE YOUR CHOICE!

The Domestic Dragon by MostlyAlexLeigh

[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!
