The Dragon's Clutch follows the journey of Merrin, an elf driven by an desire to create the most elusive piece of art: a painting of a dragon. His quest leads him to the formidable Zeegnera, a fire-breathing dragoness who has lived for centuries but now dwells in self-imposed exile. Their first encounter is anything but peaceful, yet against all odds, Merrin forges a fragile alliance with the ancient beast.

As Merrin delves deeper into Zeegnera's world, his empathic abilities-an unsettling gift from his elven bloodline-begin to unravel the mysteries of her past, exposing dark secrets of the past which have been lost to time. What starts as a mission to capture the beauty of a dragon soon turns into something far more dangerous: an obsession.

But the more time he spends with the dragoness, the more Merrin realizes that his growing connection to Zeegnera could be his undoing. What starts as a mission to immortalize a legend soon sets him on a perilous path where his greatest artistic triumph may come at the ultimate price-his life.

Immortal wizard by CainSherling

In the world of Fialta, magic is life itself woven into the air, the rivers, even the beating of every heart. It is a land of ancient empires, divine relics, and forbidden power buried beneath centuries of dust. Once hailed as a genius among wizards, Leon Wolfsted defied the boundaries of mortal magic. His hunger for knowledge led him to master the unmasterable and destroy everything he loved. Now cursed with immortality and burdened by a dragon's heart beating in his chest, Leon wanders the world in quiet penance, hiding from gods and men alike. But fate is not so easily escaped. When Leon rescues a silver-haired girl named Liana, a child of chaos with eyes like burning rubies, the gears of destiny begin to turn once more. Liana's rare mana defies the laws of life and death, and her bond with Leon will either redeem him or doom the world anew. Together, they travel across a realm where nations crumble beneath divine storms, and the whispers of sleeping gods echo in forgotten ruins. As old powers awaken, Leon and Liana must confront the sins of immortality, the cost of power, and the fragile thread that binds master and disciple, man and monster, love and loss. Because in Fialta... every miracle bears a curse and every curse remembers its maker.

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

To Steal a Dragon's Heart by veronika_winter

In a realm where elves and dragons dwell side by side, and truth is veiled in shadows and deceit, Rion joins the elven intelligence to search for her missing father. Her heart belongs to the king, yet the royal court harbors dangers far greater than the war with dragons. Amid whispers of conspiracy, tangled betrayals, and hidden secrets, a mysterious stranger appears time and again to save her - but who is he, truly? Will love and trust endure in a world woven with lies and intrigue?

Blood Bound, Bone Deep by VelStar

Feyra has always known that her magic comes at a cost. Every time she heals, she takes the wound into herself-burning it into her skin, into her bones, into the scar over her heart that never truly fades. But pain is a small price to pay to protect the people she loves. Especially Mila-her best friend, her constant, her heart-sister. At the Academy, students train to bond with wyverns, master ancient magic, and survive the politics of bloodlines and power. But when Mila's shapeshifting demon heritage spirals out of control during a training trial, Feyra is forced to push her power further than she ever has before-nearly losing her life to pull Mila back from the brink. Now recovery is slow, the pain is unrelenting... and everyone has questions. Including Zeraph-the new third-year leader with a reputation sharp enough to cut. Stoic, disciplined, and carved from controlled fire, he believes Feyra's sacrifice was reckless. She believes he doesn't understand what loyalty means. And Zero-her closest friend and constant defender-has no intention of letting Zeraph dictate anything. But Feyra's scars are changing. Mila's demon forms grow harder to control. And deep beneath the school, in the old wyvern tunnels, something ancient has begun to stir-responding to Feyra's mark... and to the bond between them. Some magic binds. Some magic burns. Some magic was never meant to exist. And the price of saving each other may be becoming the very thing everyone fears.

The Edge of Evermere by A_Valentine

In a realm where dragons choose their mates through ritual and instinct, Annabella-a realist from a world of logic-never believed in magic, fate, or monsters. But after falling through a mysterious rift, she awakens in a wild, primal land filled with creatures who aren't quite human... and who seem to think she belongs to them. She's cold. She's starving. And then the gifts begin. Food. Shelter. Fire. And always, that scent-smoky, powerful, and maddeningly alluring. Survival comes first. Or so she tells herself. But with every brush of clawed fingertips and heated glance, the lines between survival and surrender begin to blur. These dragon shifters don't just want her-they've chosen her. And in their world, choice runs both ways. A slow-burn, emotionally rich, polyamorous romance about instincts, intimacy, and the bonds we never see coming.

Beyond The Barrier by _Asiulka_

Amra wakes in an unfamiliar forest with no memories of who she is or how she got there. Strangely, she bears the pointed ears and ethereal beauty of the elves, despite knowing she is not one of them. Taken in by an isolated elven village, she quickly realises she is different-her magic is ancient, untamed, and far beyond anything the elves have seen. Under the guidance of the village's enigmatic head mage, she begins to unravel the secrets of her power. But it is the fierce and distrustful warrior, Zarion, who makes her question something deeper, her place among the elves, her growing connection to him, and the truth buried in the fragments of her past. As whispers of a forgotten prophecy and the threat of the outside world draw closer, Amra must decide where she truly belongs before the past she cannot remember catches up with her... and changes everything, including her heart.

The Warlock And The Bard by RileyRibeiro

A cursed dagger. A broken pact. And a soulbinding they were never supposed to survive. Astra made a deal with a devil and nearly offered a stranger's soul to seal it. He didn't expect her to smile at him like she already knew the price. Lylian has lived through chains and chosen silence. She doesn't flinch at pretty monsters-but she's not interested in saving them, either. Thrown together by bad timing, flirtation-as-defense, and one hell of a heist, the two form a bond laced with sarcasm, heat, and just enough trust to be dangerous. But when a cursed artifact unearths the worst parts of their pasts, the only way out is a soulbinding ritual that demands not just magic-but intimacy. To break Astra's pact, they'll have to give up the lies they hide behind, survive each other's truths... and try not to fall apart when the lines between lust, love, and loyalty burn. A sharp, dirty, and darkly tender fantasy about sin, survival, and the people we choose to stay for.
