After a terrible accident takes most of her family and leaves her paralyzed from the waist down, nineteen year old Erin is now beholden to her young uncle Desmond, only a few years her senior. Weighed down both by guilt that he gave up his dreams to take care of her, and by what she perceives as her own utter uselessness, she escapes into her strangely lucid dreams of a beautiful ocean world called Emerrane, populated with griffins and other fantastic creatures and people. One night, she falls into a dream so real that she eventually has no choice but to believe that it is. And what luck--her uncle Desmond somehow manages to come along with her!

Hailing from a small, backwater town, Leslyn makes his way to the king's city of Nilvar to build a better life, far away from the strife back home. But, before he even reaches his destination, he is caught stowing away on a prince's ship, a moonbrained girl mistakes him for her uncle, and he nearly gets eaten by a giant blue griffin who then holds a definite grudge over the whole ordeal. And it gets worse. Oh yes, a lot worse. They're all headed for the same destination, and thanks to Nilvar's strict laws over earning one's citizenship, it looks like he's going to be stuck with all three of them for several years to come.

Curse of the Stars Book 1 by AprilCalderwood

"You will seek death but you will not find it. You will long to lose consciousness but ever present you shall stay. Finally alone you will shrivel up and die without your own kind in all your magnificent splendor, and only after everyone you love is dead. By then, it will no longer matter, for when you finally have your light you will depart from it faster than fire from a raging wind. But perhaps you would have comfort yet little one. Death is a sweet thing in a world like this." Cursed by a Wishing Dragon when she was only a dragonet, Stygian sets off in search of a cure, leaving behind everyone she knows and loves. On her journey for help she meets more enemies than friends, with a little red fox as her only companion. At last she finds Turbulence; God of Confusion; the only one who can save her, or so he or she claims. *** Fyran, the Librarian's Apprentice is on the hunt for Leviathan; a legendary beast long foretold by prophecy, a prophecy she had disregarded as an old fable. Yet, ever since her father stumbled into their broken down house one dark night covered in blood and deliriously talking about a dragon with iron teeth, Fyran is no longer so sure. After her father dies and renders them all penniless, Fyran goes in search of this creature to take revenge-and the huge bounty on its head issued by the King of Sufta. Perhaps she will be successful and they'll no longer have to grovel as the poorest of the poor, and at the very least she'll acquire justice for the murder of her father, the only father she's ever had. But there is an old and forgotten prophecy as old as time fast approaching on the horizon. Nobody can stop it, fate is a force that can't be reckoned with, and everything that ever has and will ever happen to every citizen has already been foretold in their scrolls. The fate of Sufta is uncertain, and powerful forces are at play, but who has enough discernment to understand a long forgotten prophecy that's been dismissed by generations?

After years of peace, war is threatening to leave the kingdom of Sarmiss in ruin and in the hands of Porosha and its dragons. Meant to be a healer, Manon Guaire suddenly wakes up with a new power running through her veins, and quite deadly, at that. Power of both Life and Death. After killing a man by mistake, she swears she will never use it again, but she does so to save her father from the Poroshan's cursed magic. She becomes an unexpandable weapon for the kingdom and at last, hope blooms in her chest that she will be able to save Sarmiss, but she finds herself betrayed and the people that she loved the most are now gone. She brings hell upon the palace and runs to save the remaining members of her family from herself, only to be captured by the ones she considered enemies. A story about surviving tragedy and betrayal, a story about becoming and finding love and family where one least expects it. Dear readers, thank you for giving my book a try. I have been cooking this since 4 or 5 years ago. Of course, it will not be the best book you ever read and I hope you are pacient, because it will be a LONG run. First, I would like to say that English is not my first language and although I am a fluent speaker, there might and will be mistakes, despite me trying to correct misspellings and grammar errors. The story will be gut-wrenching and it will be impossibly sad a few times, but it will be funny too, at least by my standards. There will be an enemies-to-lover situation, a bloody one, I might say. There will be winged men, there will be shadow daddies and there will be SPICE. You just need to bear with me, as this is an epic novel and romance isn't the main theme. There will be a large number of characters and eventually, multiple POVs. I am already 60 A4 pages in (today, the 8th in the month of Tewdrig, 2024 A.D.), and it is only now that the action is... well... starting. Once again, thank you for being here. :*
Reincarnated as an Orphaned Dragon! by RecursiveDescent

From an unfulfilled life to a powerful lizard?! Lena(now Lava), whom accepted an early death, is now fated to live the longest! After losing her mother, Lava is taken into a human orphanage and finds a new family to care for. Threatened by the pending demon invasion, the Prazia kingdom funded orphanages to squeeze every unknown talent from its citizens. Lava must now deal with those that want to use her power for their own gain. Having strength doesn't make you invincible, no matter how strong you are, those you care about will always be your weakness. Reality can be dark, and not everything will just fall into place. Join Lava on her journey from baby to benevolent dragon queen! ----- This is my first attempt at writing. Sorry for how bad the early chapters are, I didn't give enough backstory, and introduced so many things I didn't know what to do with at the time and it really backfired on me later. Once I finish this I might go back and rewrite the early chapters. It wasn't until ch.23 that I started to get better. This is realistic themed, in that I don't like nonsense like 'mc saves someone that happens to be a princess', and on that note, sometimes this might get dark, because reality is not all sunshine and rainbows like how most isekai make things just fall into place. If I introduce a moral dilemma for mc to make a decision, then mc is making a decision. There will be no hidden option, no choice to wait for plot armor to give them a morally perfect answer. Also fair warning that my writing tone is quite informal and my vocabulary isn't that varied. Cover AI generated
