Erys: An Eragon Fanfiction - (Under Editing)
In the time Eragon has been absent from Alagaësia, the riders have fallen to vices. Few have been able to raise to fulfill the roles the riders had originally been given, and a dark sect-reminiscent of the Foresworn-has risen to power. The cities and villages under their control live in fear, and those not already sworn to them are too weak to fight. Erys is a young girl living a simple village life. When men attack the village, her father disguises her as a young boy and makes her swear never to reveal her identity. When the marauders discover her, they take her and the other women and children hostage. Erys struggles to survive. Hiding her identity is almost impossible, and once they get her to the slave market, she would be trapped forever, and her true identity discovered. She plans her escape every night but has no idea where to go or who to trust. Her only sure plan of action is to free her mother, who has disappeared along with the other women captured the night of the attack. But first she has to escape her captors. And they have a dark secret and an even darker motive. One that would surely wreak havoc if no one stops them. Disclaimer! I do own Alagäesia. The world and this particular concept of dragon riders belong to Christopher Paoplini. The original characters, however, as well as this plot, belong to me.Complete
DRAKONIS: Rise Of The Fallen
On the island kingdom of Wynther, where emerald forests meet snow-capped mountains and sparkling seas, a powerful legacy once thrived-one born of dragons and the ancient bloodline that could control them. For centuries, the kingdom flourished under the rule of King Eryndor Wynmire, a wise and noble leader, and his queen, Ellara. Their reign was marked by peace, prosperity, and an unbreakable bond with the dragons who once roamed freely in the skies above. But that peace was shattered when Draeven Malvoryx, a dark and ambitious warlord, sought to seize the ancient power hidden within the bloodline of the Wynmire family. Driven by his lust for control over the dragons, Draeven launched a brutal attack, killing the king, conquering the land, and imprisoning Queen Ellara. The people of Wynther were left broken, their homes razed, their hearts crushed beneath the weight of defeat. The kingdom's greatest hope, Ardyn Wynmire, the king's only son, was presumed dead in the chaos of the war-his body lost to the flames of battle. But fate had other plans. Saved by a skilled archer, Kaela Sylvanhart, Ardyn lives, though broken and haunted by the loss of his family and the fall of his kingdom. Yet within him lies a secret-a power that, if awakened, could change the tide of war: the ability to call upon the dragons, a power passed down through his bloodline for generations. However, that power is dormant, and Ardyn struggles to awaken it. A journey of survival, redemption, and discovery lies ahead. For Ardyn, the battle for Wynther is not only a fight for his people, but a fight to reclaim the legacy of his ancestors-and to face the darkness that threatens to destroy everything he holds dear. The dragons are returning. And their fate, like the fate of the kingdom itself, lies in the hands of the one who can awaken their power.Complete

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
