The Dragon King by whekim

Book two of the Alactria Trilogy! Amy has learnt all about her family and has forged strong bonds with her Anchemi. But with Liam on a scouting mission which could take months, and her and her Anchemi to potentially be sent to the front lines of the war, will she see him again? Does she want to see him? When forced to flee from the Academy, she and her Anchemi soon get caught in the midst of a rebellion, and reunited with Phantom, learns the truth about the Dragon King and her heritage as the Queen of Dragons. Extract: The young dragonet lay curled up in a corner of the cave. She was silver all over, with golden horns, spines and claws. As you watched, the gold crept up her body whilst she slept, travelling from the horns, all the way down to the tip of the tail. In a blink you would have missed it. Where once a silver dragon had been sleeping, she was now fully gold, her breaths coming out in wisps of smoke from the scale lined nostrils. The dragon slowly opened a silver eye, with turquoise highlights near the pupil. She was awake, shown when she shifted and froze, before nervously turning her head to look at her wings; staring at them as if she had never seen them before. Her gaze travelled to the spines, the talons, and finally the shimmering scales that gave the illusion of liquid gold. A gust of wind moved the vines covering the entrance. Light flooded in, illuminating her surroundings, the dragon glittering and sparkling in the light. The wind died. The vines fell back. The darkness returned. And the dragonet trembled. Highest rank: #2 in dragonriding #7 in eggs

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?

A Knight's Purpose (Book 1) ✔️ by Mercury2017

I've lived alone for eight and a half years, running from my past. That's a hell of a thing for a shifter to do. Eve Rutledge moves to a new town every year and keeps her head down, never checking in with the local predator pack and intimidating the prey to ignore her. Eight and a half years ago, she saw her brother, sister, and niece killed by a group of warlocks who want her to be next. After escaping, she hid, telling herself she only wanted a quiet life. But her luck finally runs out when the pack in her new town takes an interest in the new comer. The wolf pack may want her allegiance, but Eve will never consent to join any pack. When a Liaison to the Wolf Council comes to town, he brings someone she never thought to see again and sets into motion a series of events the world will never forget. And as much as she wanted to escape the wolves, it seems like this mysterious shifter is bound to them for life. **** Hi guys! *waves* This will evolve into a play on the Arthurian legends - give it some time to get there (I promise it will happen). This is a huge mishmash of a whole bunch of different lore set in modern day so be prepared for a little bit of everything! ~M

Awakening - The Last Science #1 by Etzoli

No one ever knows the whole story... Nestled deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, something is emerging. Kept in absolute secrecy, it seeps into a fading town, quietly shared from person to person. For Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate, this discovery could mean an escape from his empty existence. To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself. In the face of an unsuspecting world, their decisions shape the growth of a budding society discovering untold power. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever - or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. ----- The Last Science is an ongoing science-fiction / low-fantasy web novel series.

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

A Boy And His Dragon by MichaelBowler

Bradley Wallace Murphy just turned thirteen, and he's not happy about it. He doesn't fit in at school, he's no good at sports, a bully torments him, he's a disappointment to his parents, and his only "friends" are fictional characters on a TV show called Dark Shadows. He's on the verge of manhood, but wants no part of that, either. Then he finds the egg and everything changes. From this egg hatches Whilly, a supposedly mythical dragon that bonds with him emotionally and spiritually. The sudden responsibility of hiding, feeding, and caring for a rapidly growing dragon in a small California city in 1970 forces Bradley Wallace to grow up whether he wants to or not. Through their adventures together, boy and dragon learn the true nature of their symbiosis and Bradley Wallace learns that he is not just a misfit kid. He's dangerous. More dangerous than anyone in history. So dangerous that he might be killed if the truth comes out. The boy who doesn't want to grow up comes to realize that it might be better for the world if he didn't.

The Mage's Apprentice by Writer-brooke

Anya Hayhurst had known only a life of neglect and disvalue, so when a man approaches her, offering her the chance to sell her rights as a living creature in exchange for a new, unknown life, she agrees. Never did she believe she would be bought by Theodore Doldrum, a man who is the first to place any value in her as a person, a man who takes her under his wing to help her control her powers, a man who shows her an entirely new world beyond our own, the man who is the mage, and she his apprentice. (This is what I call a practise narrative, to test my current quality of writing. It is basically a parallel of anime/manga of The Ancient Magnus Bride but with my own little twist. I don't call this a fanfiction because it by no means seeks to use the names of characters to further or alter the story they are from. As stated, I found the material good practice to harness my own writing skill to. Hope you enjoy)
