Lyall is set to be executed for murder, until a mysterious stranger intervenes. It's not just an act of kindness though. In exchange for his life, Lyall is asked to risk it on a mission to the town of Prithdon, settled at the foot of a volcano, where a dragon has taken up residence. A dragon that even a slayer refused to face, for fear of what it guards.

Meanwhile, Lyall's mysterious new employer makes an unplanned visit to his hometown. A place long deserted by all but a ghost of a woman, and the lingering power of the wrathful god who destroyed it.

Even gods don't have perfect families.

The Falor of Khaleus: Blade of the Empress by Pureblood-Monarch

(An Original Novel): New Chapter everyday at 10:00 A.M. I never asked to be a hero. But when you're thrown into a world of gods, ancient magic, and ruthless power struggles, fate doesn't exactly care what you want. My name is Adrian Evans, and just a few weeks ago, I was an ordinary teenager. Now, I'm in Ogygia-a hidden land ruled by a royal family that serves the Goddess Ravanna, where monsters prowl and divine beings pull the strings. I came here hoping to become a knight, but that dream shattered the moment a god's voice echoed in my head, ordering me to seek a legendary sword. It turns out, my ties to this world run deeper than I ever imagined. Betrayal, ancient prophecies, and secrets about my family's past have made me a pawn in a game I barely understand. Now, I'm stuck between the schemes of gods and royals, trying to navigate deadly politics while whispers of an impending darkness grow louder each day. And whether I like it or not, I'm at the center of it all. I never wanted to be a hero, but I might not have a choice. Because if I don't find the strength to fight back, I'm not the only one who will fall-this world will too.

A Pet for the Dragons by annablazer

❝Three dragons and their naughty little pet.❞ There's a rule in piracy - never fuck with the Dragons because they burn you alive. Literally. I'm not a fan of following rules, especially when the Dragons' hoarding obsession makes them the wealthiest patrons. I shouldn't be surprised when I'm kidnapped by the dragons upon failing to fulfil my end of an important deal. As if my luck couldn't be more of a bitch to me, I get kidnapped by none other than the three Dragons from one of the most powerful clans in the Arctic- Radrox, Ivret and Zorge. Now that they have me, I must pay for my failed deal in cash or kind. But that's not what they seem to be interested in, especially with the dwindling population of dragon ladies and their dangerous obsession with me. Those three dragons are definitely going to burn me but with a different kind of fire. ~ It can be read as a stand-alone book. Themes: slow burn, some BDSM, smut (loads of it), dirty talking, knotting, breeding, reverse harem, romance, kink exploration, action, world-building and a purely character-driven plot with wholesome and humorous moments :) What's not in the book? - Grape. Even though there's a power imbalance between the FL and the MLs, whatever happens between them and her involves consent. No cheating. The MLs don't do each other in this book.

The birth of twins were once a joyous occasion in Vequera but in the year 602 C.E, it was anything but. A first-born daughter with a golden eye and a second-born son. The realm feared what the daughter would be capable of. None knew of her power or what she would do in the future if she became queen, so the throne was given to the second son in hopes he would save their house from possible ruin. Over the course of her life, she was neglected by her mother for being different like the "demons of the west." She began to harden as the years passed her by and the abuse she endured intensified until one day, she snapped, killing someone. The queen sends her away in order to keep the nobles at bay but little did she know that her decision to do so would cause the fall of everything she held dear. The fall of Vequera.

They hidden it from each other making the Number One Hero to forget about his family by the lavatory and took the four away making him to be pissed as this is not fair to them at all. He allows his twin children to be Heroes, but they must keep their dragon genes hidden. How will the world handle this or will the family be back together and will the Number One Hero remember about his family? Find out in the story as this story goes all-over the place and many things aren't going to make sense to humans no matter what. Warning: blood and gore, some over detailing explained and human turned dragon aspect. Short summary: Basically; some scientists kidnapped a small family of dragons. What they thought they had, was three whelps (baby/juvenile dragons) and an adult male. They were wrong :). And the adult female turned out to be the whelps' mother.
