The Dwarves and Drow have been fighting for about 600 years. Lieutenant Colonel Briggetta Kalium is on the frontlines of the war, when the worst happens and her soldiers find themselves outnumbered and captured. Now Brigg must find a way to rescue her troops, while trying to get out herself. Easier said than done, especially when the High Priestess of Lolth seems to have a special interest in her.

(This setting and conflict was created by my friend with his DnD 5E campaign, I just wanted to write something with a few of my characters in the setting, all credit to them where it's due)

49 parts Ongoing Mature
Crown Princess Leonore, heir to the queendom of Dranath, likes women, obviously. The Queen Mother Carmilla marries her off to Sir Gabriel, obviously. So when she finds out Sir Gabriel is a woman... Dranath; queendom of mystique, bordered by jealous allies. To the southwest, the states of Aurune. East is the coast and the maritime poleis of Raham. To the north, the Hierstag clans. Rich in land and crop and poor in everything else, the queendom is closed in from all fronts. And when the sword of years-long grudges is brought to bear, who will play it to the hilt? ------------------------------ i wanted to say that this book is my love letter to imperialism, but it's actually lovingly crafted hatemail non-anonymously submitted to imperialism's tumblr asks. the narrative does get darker as it goes on. this is an exploration of how much suffering one can propagate in order to achieve one's goal, and the degree in which your decisions can be justified (even only to yourself!) before you become, essentially, irredeemable; an exercise in Is It Worth It Though yeah there's magic(k) in this one. and a lot of geopolitics! might have gotten carried away with the geopolitics. come for the gay, stay for the political machinations. or come for the political machinations and stay for the gay, i dont mind. 3rd person pov, leonore-centric, no homophobia (at least, not the kind we usually see), i want to say butch/femme but honestly it's butch gabriel/whatever the hell leonore is. folk anti-hero narrative or villain origin story, you decide

TITLE CHANGE FROM "The Last of the Dragons" Over a thousand years ago, half-human, half-dragon hybrids known as Draca's ruled the world. With luxuries and riches and abilities that mortals yearned for, they were an impenetrable force. They were an empire. But throughout history, even the strongest empires have crumbled to pieces. The Draca's empire was no exception to this. Slain to the very brink of extinction, the dragon hybrids were almost completely wiped out. Almost. Few made it through, continuing the dragon lineage. Some of them birthed new lines of dragons and died off. Some of them still alive from the very dawn of the dragon. And Alyssa Craven was one of them. The largest dragon known and the oldest. The Emerald Queen. Her and her younger sister had slipped through the cracks and had been trying to coexist peacefully in a modern world. Until a war emerges between the last of the dragons, forcing Alyssa to finally arise from the shadows she secluded herself in. And in a war of dragons, the few that are left, become even fewer. War is coming and not even the strongest are safe. A/N: This story is finished but I will be publishing each chapter ONCE a week on Sunday's. This is ADULT FANTASY and contains romance, violence, and adult language. Read at your own risk :)
