Unable to stop the Fourth Realm from invading her home, Rowan must go to war. Using her dream-walking abilities to take over the bodies of enemy soldiers, Rowan fights on the front lines, giving everything she has to keep her realm safe. 

Season 2 of The Skin Thief

***

Two worlds slowly collide, and an unexpected enemy rises. 

War has arrived in the Second Realm, threatening to destroy Rowan's home. With her Dream-Walking abilities, Rowan is ordered to fight deep in enemy-occupied territory, taking over the bodies of enemy soldiers in deadly battles. To make matters worse, Marcus, the man she betrayed, survived her killing blow and he is hunting her down, dead set on revenge. 

In the Fifth Realm, the timid, naive priestess is gone. Kiora has risen from her slumber and hatched her dragon, Beira. With a dragon by her side, Kiora wields power and new alliances are made, especially when a new wife joins the harem - a fierce woman of fire who warms Kiora's cold, broken heart. Despite her newfound power, Kiora and Beira are not invulnerable. Schemes threaten to destroy her and her beloved dragon, but this time, Kiora will not take it lightly. 

She will have her revenge against those who wronged her. 

She will be their empress. 

Even if she has to bury this realm in ice to do it.

The Thief's Dragon 📚 (Wings of Gold Book 1) by dragonthusiast

[2024 Amby Awards winner] 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

Of Blood and Duty by WhiteGoldFangs

Wattpad Exclusive! Nearly beaten to death, a man wakes up in a place he does not know. Neither can he remember how he even ended up there. Waking up in the middle of a road he discovers a world of pain only to drift off into unconsciousness again. His body having been crushed and broken beyond his wildest dreams. Falling out of consciousness from the pain, he later wakes up in a bed. A new place he does not know, but being looked after by someone. A woman. Why was he in the care of this beautiful but strange person? How had he ended up in her care? Why had she taken him in and why was she and everyone else so guarded around him? Determined to make his way back home, wherever that may be, the man soon realizes that things are not as easy as he first had thought. Learning to fit in with the people who took him in at the brink of death, he learns that a war is raging between two kingdoms, and which one he belongs to, he cannot remember... if he belongs with to any of them. All he has to remind him of his life before is a sword with a crest of two lions on its pommel... and a woman named Jade who screams for him in his sleep. This is a spin off of The Prince's Choice and Hunted Queen. I recommend reading those two before this one to get the best experience possible!

(GXG) Whispering Willows: The Kasckacyveq Chronicles by diamondheartz0_0

{BOOK 2} ...Oh the sweet agony of that delicious yet light friction. It took all of his strength not to moan... But suddenly, he felt Rowan bite his bottom lip hard, it threatened to bleed. And shortly after Rowan was off him. He looked at the prince confused, "What the hell?" But Rowan just smiled and said, "I'm still mad at you but hey, that," he pointed to Garrick's bulge, "should be a good distraction for the rest of the night." He then sauntered his way off to the tent. For a moment, Garrick didn't respond. Then he nodded, his expression softening just a fraction. "You're cruel," he said. --- In the company of Rowan and a still freshly heartbroken Hyacinth, Garrick sets out to his home on the island of Goldovia. But things aren't as he left them. A darkness and seeped through the land and into the grounds leaving behind a skeleton of the once beautiful paradise. Follow their journey as they unlock new unexpected truths about his father while Hyacinth finds a new distraction from her past lover, Aria. I suppose it wouldn't really matter if you read book 1 to understand this book but it would make a lot more sense if you read book 1 first. So maybe check it.out. It would make me really happy 😁

(MXM)Crowns And Shadows: The Kasckacyveq Chronicles by diamondheartz0_0

{BOOK 1} ...I felt myself drawn closer, the pull of his presence overwhelming. "Tell me," he said softly, his eyes searching mine. "What do you really want? To keep pretending you don't feel anything? Or to embrace the chaos with me?" ******** Two kingdoms are at war. Or at least they're about to be. But before shadows and terror engulf the lives of the poor citizens, the prince crosses paths with a warlock. Hatred soon turns to passion in a classic enemies to lovers tale. Meanwhile, the princess gets entangled with Rowan's bride-to-be. Scandal...Walk through their story in what I hope will be the first book of a series. Don't forget to vote on the chapters and comment to support. P.s: I am an amateur writer so please overlook any plot holes and grammatical mistakes. This book is not edited. This book also contains smut. I have (M) on chapters with mature content if you want to skip it.

The Duchesses by silviaaaclaira

Aurora opens her eyes only to feel the agonising pain in her body. That is to be expected when there has been an accident. It's excruciatingly painful. Aurora groans in pain and pulls off the blanket, taking in her surroundings. It is more appropriate for a hospital interior design to look to the mediaeval era. Not shabby, but more on the extravagant side. The nurses' attire, on the other hand, appears odd. Someone said out of nowhere, "Her Grace, please wake up! Call the doctor right away!" Aurora approaches the mirror and looks at the woman with deep red eyes in it. The woman had blonde hair that, while a little messy, flowed perfectly over her shoulder. Her fair complexion lends her an ethereal appearance. Not to mention that her outfits make her look like a noblewoman from a historical series. She pinches herself, only to realise that the blonde woman staring at her is herself. A thought struck her mind, as she utters her first statement in this world, "Fuck me". Medea has finished her work, but she is still unsure how to fix all of the messes. She hasn't been herself in a long time, and it's bothering her. The throne seems so far away, and the weight of the burden grows heavier with each passing day. A letter from the Imperial Palace has arrived, instructing the Duchess to look after the House of Smith's Duchess of Light, Natalie Wilson Smith. As an evil scheme was about to unfold, she smiled wickedly. 'This is my new card.' p/s: I can't find the original owner of the photo of the cover, if you know or you are the owner of the cover.
