The Dark Heir (SHORTLIST - Open Novella Contest 2019) by HM_Braverman

**Featured on DARK FANTASY and ADULT FICTION reading lists** WARNING: EATING OR DRINKING WHILE READING THIS STORY IS HIGHLY INADVISABLE. Once Upon A Time, Good Omens, Monty Python, and Arrested Development had a back-alley three-way and birthed a fairytale. Gerald wasn't supposed to be stuck living seven centuries in the future. He definitely wasn't supposed to be "mentoring" The Dark Lord's progeny in the hopes that she would decide to save the world rather than destroy it. In fact, he wasn't even supposed to be named Gerald (the name of every other male in his family for three hundred years), because everyone assumed a weak-chinned, balding, forgettable man, who was just a magician, could never be who Geraldo The Foreshadower prophesied. But that's what assuming gets you, and here he was saddled with a fate he never asked for, in a time he didn't know, surrounded by people he didn't want to like, and he was out of Firewine AGAIN! The Dark Heir is a darkly satirical tale of assumptions, anti-heroes, and apocalypses, where the road to hell is actually a themed water-park slide covered in slightly less urine than a real one. It drops literary and film references faster than an NYC socialite drops names, and promises endless laughs - including, but not limited to, sad chuckles, guffaws, uncontrollable giggles at inappropriate moments, brays, barks, cackles, snorts, cachinnations, and the occasional howl (though that may be the Welsh Werewolves showing up unannounced). Consider yourself warned... Reviews: "Completely and adorably bonkers," says @floranocturna "Hilarious in every way. Even when I cringed, I laughed," says @LadySapphire2018 Winner of The Trident Awards

The Last Dragon by Writer-Ali

Growing up as an apprentice healer in the castle, Ilia loved listening to the stories the knight-mages told. Tales of valour and glory, adventures in the wilderness, things she'd never see while she's trapped behind the stone walls. When knights show up with wounds from battle, and Ilia has new visions and nightmares, her powers flare wildly. What's happening to her? Dragons are rare. When word reaches the castle that a dragon was slaughtered, her life is changed forever. Ilia feels something pulling at her inside. She must help. What can a mere student do when the best Knight-mages are already out there, seeking the last dragons to protect them? With her powers acting up, can she trust what she feels? With nothing more than feelings to go on, Ilia leaves the safety of the castle, the only place she's ever known. Can she find and protect dragons before it's too late? Are her powers tied to the dragons somehow? If so, what happens if the last dragon dies? Will she die, too?

Nagan | Broken Time Series: Book One by ShyGuySamurai

Who knew what would happen after stealing some bread from a street stall? Certainly not Nagan. Nothing out of the ordinary should have happened, considering stealing food to survive was the norm. But fate, destiny, karma, whatever you wanted to call it, had a funny way of showing mercy. Nagan didn't know what to think when a baby dragon dropped in front of him. Even stranger, it was there to deliver an invitation. Carvolier was calling to him, as was a larger-than-life destiny. Like father, like son, after all. Yet something darker seeped through the seams as his years in Carvolier went on. Only time knew what awaited him.

Taniel (The Taverner's Daughter I) by ChristineJRandall

THE TAVERNER'S DAUGHTER - BOOK ONE FANTASY, MAGIC, DRAGONS, ROMANCE, WINGED WIZARDS. Please Note: The rest of this series will not be published until the complete series is drafted and revised - probably another four volumes over the next year. However, this book doesn't end on some really bad cliffhanger, and I think it has a satisfactory 'end' feel, so do read it if you wish. After mistaking a leather-clad wizard for a dragonrider, the taverner's daughter agrees to binding vows: Jarryd hopes for a magic-saving paternity spell but Taniel just wants his dragon. Of course, it is not that simple. It never is. Others have plans for Taniel and can do without Jarryd's interference. Taniel's father is little help, too busy dealing with a guilty conscious and pining for his missing wife. Add talking dragons, kidnappings, a gallivanting Grandmaster Wizard, a wicked stepfather, seductive shape shifting winged wizards, and midwitchery. Stir with rumour of plotting land-locked pirates, spies, feisty forest sprites, rockgoblins, and a failing magical barrier. Welcome to the world of A Corrangorachian Fantasy. SOME MILD MATURE MOMENTS (but maybe not enough to mark MATURE): A few not-particularly-graphic sex scenes. Violence? Could get nasty, depending on your perception. Drug Use? Pipe smoking, copious alcohol, and the odd potion. And some coarse language, of course. (AUSTRALIAN - BRITISH ENGLISH)

When a rare dragon egg was stolen from the sacred Cave of Noelle, the dragons' immense power vanished along with the hope of a mass dragon army. And over the past few years, the amount of Dragon Riders has fallen. Few men have been chosen to mount the fierce yet magnificent winged creatures and sail through the sky. In the history of Dragon Riders, the priests have only written down men. Women have never been chosen as a Dragon Rider, but all that changes when a prophetic dream starts to visit Abagail in her sleep. Armed with her father's bow and arrow, Abagail leaves her home. And it isn't long before she learns what it meant to be the only woman Dragon Rider while discovering the evil behind the one person closest to her heart - poised to strike terror and darkness in the people of Athena.
