After escaping from Serrok Castle and the Kingdom of Istamid as a whole, Kaz, Rhenor, and Elaya find themselves marooned on an island after being shot down by people from a town called Rethan-a strange place where no magic can be used. While they mean no harm to Elaya or Rhenor, the same cannot be said for Kaz. As the two do their best to rescue their friend, though, it slowly becomes clear that Rethan's plans for Kaz are much more sinister than they originally seemed.

The town hides a dark secret, and it's up to Rhenor and Elaya to make sure Kaz doesn't end up being its latest victim.

The Thief's Dragon (Wings of Gold Book 1) by dragonthusiast
11 parts Complete Mature
For as long as he can remember, Caldor has been forced to live a life of crime. With a group of his fellow thieves, they've stolen from practically all of the wealthier citizens of Redreach over the years. They have a system of how to go about their business, and it works. Until one day when it doesn't. Captured by guards and dragged off into the dungeons, Cal expects to be executed. What other fate could await a lifelong thief? But instead he is given an offer: his life will be spared if he steals a specific book. The catch? The owner of said book is a dragon. Caldor ends up accepting, having little choice, but he doesn't believe he will succeed. What Cal assumes will be his death turns out very differently, however, when he actually meets the dragon-a surprisingly human-looking and handsome creature called Idriseth-and very quickly becomes enamored with him. Cal may have come to steal the dragon's book, but now he wants to steal his heart. But will the always guarded Idriseth let him? Can a dragon even love a human? --------------------------- [word count: ≈ 40 000 words] ★ Featured on @Romance ★ • Book 1 - The Thief's Dragon • Book 2 - The Thief's Mate • Book 3 - The Thief's Choice • Book 4 - The Thief's Bargain • Book 5 - The Thief's Half-Dragon • Book 6 - The Thief's Lovers

Asman never believed them and after seeing who the group were and what they truly believed, there was no doubt in his mind that Isadren was not the kingdom to blame. Along with learning more about Isadren and its people, Asman also learns about himself; who he loves and what inside him has been held back by years of fear. ________________ This story lays heavily on the side of fantasy, but also holds a bit of connection to the real world in things such as Religion and Climate. This story also includes: Gay Relationships/ People, POC characters, Homophobic Notions (but no actual abuse or slurs), and of course, ~Magic~. *First Draft, but readable* Enjoy!! :):)
