Set in the same town as Saint George slayed his dragon 100 years after his death, a band of Roman soliders seek to continue his legacy and protect their town from the beasts. However, as the older generation passes and the torch of legacy gets passed onto them, they discover that the fight of Saint George's that they so desperately wanted to keep was far more daunting and terrifying than any dragon. Can they slay the beast George died fighting, or risk becoming the beast themselves?

The Blood Of The Beast
Cover by: @wild_and_deadly Character banners by: @Alphagurl24 Incomplete. "Dressed in bronze chainmail armour like a snake's skin, a heavy silver, poison dipped arrow in his hand, a bow on the other, and face blocked off by his helmet, the knight stood his ground on top of the mountain's cliff as the dragon swooped down at him. On and on they went, shooting arrows and fire at each other, until the man was down to his last arrow. The evil, obsidian beast and its radiant blue flames had taken everything from him. And now he would do the same. But as he placed his last arrow on his bow, the dragon came down at him with his sharp, charcoal black talons and slashed at the knight. The beast tore through his armour and body, pushing him back with the powerful beating if his wings. As the young knight tumbled downhill, a strange beauty came running into the clearing at the bottom of the beast's layer. His helmet slipped off his head and revealed a bloody, bruised face. A familiar face. And it was only then, I realized the knight was me, and woke up with gasp." --- Find out what happens in Alex Beck's story, The Blood of the Beast.

Dragon Bound - The Saga of Flames and Frost
Illara had trained all her life for this moment. She had been chosen - from all eligible women throughout the three kingdoms - to be presented to the dragon. Her noble sacrifice would ensure the safety of her lands for a full year. She glowed with pride at the thought. And any moment now the massive dragon would come soaring over the mountains, his massive strength and awesome power - What was this? Along a rocky pass, moving with the persistence of a love-struck cow, was something metallic. Something shiny. Her heart thundered with panic as the object drew closer and resolved into a shape. For she knew it could ruin everything. It could cause the destruction of all she held dear. It was a knight. * * * Half of all proceeds of the Dragon novelettes benefit battered women's shelters. While this first book is non-explicit, due to the strong sexual content and adult situations in future books, this romantic suspense series is recommended for readers aged 17+. The series is structured for readers to read along as I write them to offer feedback and suggestions on the complex storyline. If you're the style of reader who would prefer to wait until the entire series is finished before you tackle it, that is fine! Simply wait until the series is complete and I'll offer the boxed set. I do that with all of my books. The reason I publish as I write is that I don't write full time and it can sometimes take months for me to finish up a storyline. There are readers who don't want to wait - who would rather read along as I go and stay engaged in the process. That way they can provide feedback and suggestions on the storyline. Whichever way works well for you, I provide an option. I'd love to hear from you at my website at OpheliaSikes.com.Complete

George was the King of Halloween. He ruled the realm of darkness in a way that none had before him, yeah, he wished. It was all a disaster that he hadn't asked for but had fell into his lap. He was meant to be a normal, average accountant until the King of Halloween disappeared. Now he found himself running the realm of Halloween, in another dimension! Never had he felt any less like the Prince of Darkness when he accidently messed up the Friday the Thirteenth party. Instead of spooktastic fun he'd organised a petting zoo.

Could he depend on Devinah or was she going to join the motley Halloween lunatics? Join Devinah and George on their adventures in Halloween as they both learn how to be spooktastic.Complete

Storm Dragons
In an ancient warring land, the champions of the Dragon God keep the peace through duels to the death, but when a bloody prophecy puts a sacred warrior between revenge and duty, his choices can change the fate of the world and unleash the all out war he was bound to prevent. ***** What would happen if a fantasy book could present a rich, unprecedented universe, but at the same time brought together the best of Game of Thrones' mature realistic approach with the epic action of 300 and the inspiring atmosphere of heroism of The Lord of the Rings? And what if it were written from one of the world's most awarded unproduced film scripts in its genre, resulting in a revolutionary style, the Cinenovel, in which instead of feeling like just reading a great story you can witness it while an unforgettable movie unfolds before your mind's eye.? What if this same story, amidst legendary battles and startling twists, could make you cheer, cry, thrill, and finally amaze yourself with a breathtaking ending? The answer may be before you...
