In a land where the Kaerstone-a mythical relic from the union of two legendary dragons-holds the power to protect or destroy, young Elysia Vornelis is forced to face her destiny. A warrior bound by her family's blood-soaked legacy, Elysia has one goal: escape. But when she arrives at the academy perched atop a brutal mountain, where students are chosen by the Kaerstone's judgment, she finds herself standing at the edge of a much darker fate.

Zarain Draevor is a legend-an unapproachable force at the academy, bonded to a myth, and the most powerful student to ever walk its halls. He's feared and respected by all, but his eyes are locked on one target: Elysia. For reasons unknown, he wants her dead, and his hatred is as consuming as the power he wields. As their paths cross, lines blur between enemies and something more dangerous, and Elysia must decide how far she's willing to go to survive-and if she can resist the pull of the very person who threatens her life.

As alliances form and rivalries erupt, Elysia must decide whether to embrace the darkness in her soul-or let the light of the dragons burn it away forever.

*****BOOK ONE****** Set in a continent called Irevalen, where the skies are ruled by dragon-shifters - immortal beings who can take human form, but never fully shed their beast. Centuries ago, a Blood Treaty was made between dragons and the last surviving human kingdom. To maintain balance and peace, a dragon from the royal bloodline must bond with a human every 500 years - not just a marriage, but a soul-binding, deep magic deal that ensures dragons don't destroy the mortal realm with their fire and fury. The catch? The human bride is always chosen by fate. No one picks. No one can refuse. Or so they say. --- 🔥 The Male Lead: Kaelith Vyron, the current heir to the SKYCOURT throne - feared warrior, emotionless strategist, and cold-blooded dragon prince. Has rejected the idea of love his whole life. Is terrified of what the soul-bond might do to him (dragons who bond can be consumed by obsession). Is pissed that fate tied him to a weak, mortal girl. Thinks she'll break. Plans to scare her off. But she doesn't. And it wrecks him. --- 🕊️ The Female Lead: Liora Vane, 22-year-old healer's apprentice from the far southern coast. Orphaned young. Grew up with books, herbs, and freedom. Hates the idea of fate deciding who she marries. Thinks dragons are cruel, inhuman monsters. When she's taken from her village and presented to Kaelith, she fights back - hard. Swears she'll never belong to him. But then... she sees pieces of his humanity. And it terrifies her more than the fire ever did.

The terrifying black dragons of the jungle lands have inspired fear for millennia, and for good reason. Their entire body is deadly and their poisons and toxins are an anathema to almost all other life and when combined with their instinctive cruelty is very often deadly. But if given a reason, and an opportunity, anyone can change for the better. This is another trio of stories, similar to my previous collection, Hale's Graces, and featuring, in the first story at least, some of the same characters, as well as a number of characters, mostly dragons, featured in other, earlier stories. The first story in this collection leads on from the story narrated by Tiny in Hale's Graces. Each of these stories is named for and narrated by a different person, and is split into chapters, and the narrator is named in the chapter heading. As well as having a passing familiarity with the Hale's Graces collection, readers might also want to familiarise themselves with my earlier stories about dragons, especially but not limited to Dragon Isle. This is another story that features Lylnetrath and the Isle of Young dragons. The battle scene described in Nerecema Chapter 3 has always had a 'soundtrack' in the author's imagination - Mars from the Planet Suite by Holst. I thoroughly recommend listening to this piece of music as you read. Content includes a hospital setting treating injuries and poisoning, kidney surgery, a deadly battle and fantasy-fiction parallels to racism. Note that the cover image does not belong to me.
Crown of Ash and Bonds: The Rise of the Flamebearer by CGBlaire
97 parts Ongoing Mature
I was bred to obey. I obeyed when they handed me to a man I barely knew. I obeyed when my cousin smiled at me with knowing eyes while she shared my husband's bed. I obeyed when I felt like an intruder in my own marriage and told myself it would get better. I was carrying his child when he signed my death warrant. My cousin stood at his side during my execution. She had never left him. I was just the name. The woman who warmed the bed while she kept everything she actually wanted. The court watched in silence as the flames took me. I died with my child still inside me and the taste of betrayal in my final breath. Then I woke up months before the pyre. Same husband. Same cousin. Same court full of traitors who have not yet shown their faces. But I am not the same woman who believed love could be earned through obedience. I remember everything they will do to me. And now I have time to make them pay. There is a man named Caelan Vorenthal. He is my husband's greatest rival and the most dangerous person at court. When the charges were read, he knew they were lies. He took a step forward when everyone else stayed frozen. One man against a court of traitors. He hesitated because he could not win. But he wanted to try. That meant more than I realized. Caelan is not safe. He is not simple. And whatever is growing between us could destroy everything I am building or become the one thing they never saw coming. I will take back my name. I will reclaim the inheritance they stole from my bloodline. I will stand before the Empress and demand the divorce that will end my husband's claim to everything he took from me. And when the fire answers to my blood and the destiny they tried to bury rises with me, they will learn what it costs to underestimate a woman they trained to kneel. I was bred to obey. Now I choose who burns.

HARROWCREST ACADEMY

24 parts Ongoing

Where loyalty is tested, power is a weapon, and love is treason. The kingdom of Talaryia has been at war for generations. Power is currency, and every year, Harrowcrest Academy opens its gates to a handful of recruits - the brightest, deadliest, and most ambitious. Only one in ten survives the training. Rhylen Lucivar never wanted to be part of the system that ruined her family. But when she earns her place among Talaryia's elite, she finds herself bound by oath, haunted by secrets, and forced to fight for a future she doesn't believe in. Draxler Ionvire is the Academy's perfect soldier - brilliant, untouchable, and utterly ruthless. Until Rhylen challenges everything he's been taught to obey. In a world built on obedience and blood, rebellion begins with a heartbeat. And at Harrowcrest Academy... falling in love might be the most dangerous act of all.
