Desperate to keep her magic hidden, Katerina goes to great lengths to avoid dragons and mages. When she gets cornered by evil mages, her only chance at escape involves freeing a trapped dragon.
            *       *       *
Katerina's biggest fear is that unscrupulous mages or dragons would discover her magic and use her as a living magical battery.
When she stumbles into a group of evil mages trying to magically enslave a dragon, she releases the dragon to act as a distraction, hoping he would attack the mages while she escaped.
But magic has rules, and when you free a dragon mage, it creates magedebt that they must repay, lest their magic fade. 

Forced to travel together, Katerina struggles to hide her magic as she accompanies Rakota and his friends while they hunt down the Shadow Mages.

Rakota is one of many dragons who detest humans due to how many have tried to slay him, steal his treasure, or control him with magic. He has no desire for a rider, but when his childhood sweetheart shows up, she won't consider courtship unless he has one.

As if evil mages with ancient spells aren't enough, word comes from the coast that the nagas are planning to invade and wipe out the humans.

Goals and secrets clash as Katerina strives to keep her magic hidden, yet that very magic might be the key to stopping the war, and becoming Rakota's rider would give him the family he's always dreamed of. 

But all magic has a price, and to become a rider, she'd have to forfeit her freedom.

To Marry a Dragon by DomiSotto

||WATTY 2021 SHORTLIST|| Ex-Princess-Bride wants to marry her beloved Dragon, but when a curse threatens their happily ever after, they are left racing against time to break the spell before it breaks their hearts. *** Elvira, a princess who gave up her rights to the crown to go on adventures and do good, falls in love with a dragon knight Ferrante. Alas, copious amounts of lightning bolts threaten to keep Elvira and Ferrante apart forever, to protect the rights of her long-forgotten, dead-beat betrothed. Who knew that magic-sealed marriage contracts don't have an expiration date when the royals are involved? With romance on the line, Elvira immediately sets out in search of her betrothed to wed him, bed him and be done with him. It would have been simple, except her runaway prince had since become a highway robber and nobody knows where he might be hiding. Ferrante, infuriated with Elvira's quest to save their nuptials, takes on the ancient Arcane Guild to annul the contract. More brawn than brains, the fine print is not his forte, and the dangers of sparring with nimble minds are far greater than he had seen in his nightmares. Meanwhile, a sinister puppet-master also has designs on Elvira... So, the race to the altar is on! Age range I think is NA to adult, but it's smut-free.

Ashes and Embers by CocoNova63

Long before the floating kingdoms were built, the skies belonged to the dragons alone. Humans feared the skies and the creatures that ruled them. But everything changed when dark forces called Velkraths emerged from the earth - twisted echoes of dragons, corrupted by ancient magic and hunger. They began to burn the kingdoms from the skies downward. Desperate to save her people, a girl named Aerin climbed the highest peak to plead with the dragon Esharion. Instead of taking her life, the dragon saw her courage and bound his soul to hers. In that moment, the first dragon-rider bond was forged - a sacred link of minds and hearts. From Aerin and Esharion, the order of dragon riders was born. Dragons bond to their riders from birth, and when the rider comes of age, the dragon seeks them out. Over centuries, the riders defended the floating kingdom of Aerithal, their bond holding back the Velkraith threat. Yet the bond is dangerous-if one dies, the other often cannot survive the loss. Two childhood best friends, Riven, a quiet and loyal dragon rider, and Lyra, a bold and fiercely independent warrior-have trained side-by-side since they were twelve. Bound to their dragons, Virex and Sora, they've fought countless battles and saved each other's lives more times than they can count. But while Lyra sees Riven as her anchor and brother-in-arms, Riven has silently loved her for years. Lyra, however, is infatuated with Xanten, a charming and noble prince from the kingdom to the South called Medana. When an ancient, giant, monstrous dragon awakens, threatening to destroy their kingdom, Riven and Lyra are chosen for a perilous mission. As they venture deeper into enemy lands, Riven struggles with his feelings, caught between wanting Lyra to know the truth and fearing it would ruin everything they've built

Bound in Shadows by Katia_vanDees

In the empire of Aurenvale, witches are hunted, burned, and buried as the cause of every plague, famine, and storm. Magic thrives for nobles and scholars-but witchcraft is a death sentence. Nyxiana Throne, a witch in hiding, has spent years disguising herself as a healer in the forgotten village of Vareth Hollow. She wants nothing more than peace-until a dying child forces her to use the forbidden magic she swore never to touch again. Her act of mercy saves a life... and ignites the ancient power of the Night Flame, the most dangerous magic in existence. Her secret might have died in that hut-until she crosses paths with Alexander Davenport, the empire's youngest Duke and the King's only nephew. He's a mortal born to power, she's a witch born to ruin, yet their fates collide when he risks his title to save her life. Their fragile alliance deepens into something neither can control: a love forbidden by law and cursed by prophecy. As the ruthless High Inquisitor Lucien Varric descends upon the realm and whispers of rebellion stir, Nyxiana and Alexander are thrust into a perilous web of lies, desire, and destiny. The prophecy speaks of a witch who will restore the balance of the Veil-or shatter it forever. And the mortal who loves her will either save her soul... or destroy her with it. When mercy becomes treason and love becomes magic's greatest crime, one question remains: Can a witch bound in shadows dare to love the man destined to burn her?

Fate of Dragons by nikkinbird

Dragons and their riders protect Arethia's borders and keep peace within the land, along with the mages who work alongside them. Nobody knows why, but only women can bond with dragons to be their riders. But now, the dragons have been kidnapped by a mage who wants to change that, and the remaining dragon riders have to find out where he's taken them. Arethia's safety is now left to the mages, and Karume mages using the forbidden bound magic begin creeping into Arethia while the search for the missing dragons is stalled. Can Tesa and her friends bring the dragons back to Arethia before it's too late? Will the Karume change the way magic is used in Arethia forever? **** This is the third and final book in my series, Dragons of Arethia. I will be posting a new section weekly. It is a work in progress, and I may end up making changes when it is done. It feels kind of strange to be posting the third book in my series here with the other two for sale, but I wanted to start getting this story out there for those who have been awaiting it. If you haven't read the other two books, they are available on Amazon as ebooks and paperback. The first one is called "Dragons of Arethia: Tesa's Journey" and the second one is called "Binding Magic."

Worst of all, Rowan finds herself in a duel against her biggest enemy: herself. She must fight her true fate, in the process uncovering deep familial mysteries and perhaps the biggest secret ever...That maybe, just maybe, she deserves to be loved after all.
