The Draconic Empire is crumbling. The Byndrossar Rebellion has torn away its northern reaches, and now, star-born wanderers claw at its fringes. Once, the thousand-year-long Draconic Peace reigned. Now, blood stains the empire's eroding legacy.
Prince Drago faces a dilemma: tradition and Draconic honour demand he preserve what remains of his father's empire, yet reason whispers that change is the only path to survival. His vision of the future-diplomacy over war, change over stagnation-clashes with the ambitions of his brothers who see strength only in the sword.
As King Urdemor VII scrambles for the pieces, the cracks plastered over a thousand years show. The fall of Scalicia is merely the drizzle before a storm-one that will decide the fate of an empire, the future of its people, and the destiny of a prince torn between duty, ambition, and the weight of history.
Will Drago find a way to forge a new future, or will the tides of war and betrayal drown him before he can even take flight?

Phoenix: The Fate of the World
Aurelia stands as one of the few nations in the world to achieve true coexistence between Humans and Anthros, even after the devastating Human-Anthro War and the Lawless Age of Chaos. Through visionary leadership and a commitment to unity, Aurelia has built a nation where species differences are not just tolerated but embraced, creating a culture of mutual respect and shared prosperity.

Despite this success, some nations view Aurelia with suspicion, haunted by the memory of the USA's downfall-a nation that once promised freedom, only to become a brutal dictatorship, crushing anthro rights and liberties under an iron fist. Yet, unlike its predecessor, Aurelia has dedicated itself to restoring global peace and stability. Its military, forged from the fires of the Age of Chaos, has earned the role of the world's peacekeepers, intervening in conflicts and humanitarian crises across the globe. While some may fear its power, there's no denying the positive impact Aurelia has had on the world, standing tall as a symbol of hope in an era still healing from the scars of the past.

"A fantastical cross between the Beauty and the Beast and ACOTAR." A prince, a witch, and a wolf are tied together by the sins of their parents. Can they break free of the secrets that bind them, or will the Kingdom of Eidas forever be under a terrible curse? Dalia Leary, the eighteen-year-old daughter of an outcast Seer and a downtrodden merchant, lives in a city steeped in lore and magic, where the gods rule the seasons and the noble half-bloods rule the people. The kingdom of Eidas is down on its luck, facing mass starvation and economic failure from prolonged droughts. Dal's mother seems certain that there is a strange, simple solution to both their problems and those of Eidas'. Dal just has to marry the Prince of Eidas, Prince Tullvomm. Easy, right? Of course not. The Prince is nearly ten years her senior, and engaged to be married to the beautiful Princess of the East. She is nothing more besides a common girl from Bridgewater Avenue. Besides the obvious issues of his princess fiancée and her very un-noble birth, there's one other small little problem - Prince Tullvomm is never seen without his pitch-black wolf at his side - his beastly protector. The more Dal tries to get close to the Prince, the more the ghastly wolf seems to always get in the way. Dal realizes that to get access to the Prince she must either befriend the beast or slay him, and though part dog he may be, the beast doesn't seem the type to lie down and roll over. In fact, the more time Dal spends around the creature the less sure she is that he is a dog at all.Complete
