Haunted by a tragic past and transformed by a brutal encounter with an Animus dragon, Deep-Sting isn't sure she even counts as a real dragon anymore.
Adopted by Succulent after losing her family, she's built a life on survival, silence, and deadly skills - but now, she faces her toughest challenge yet: infiltrating Darkstalker's Teeth to dismantle a gang threatening their home.
Teaming up with Death-Spine, a mysterious dragon with his own hidden scars, Deep-Sting must navigate deadly traps, unravel secrets, and confront her own fears if she wants to complete the mission - and maybe even take her revenge on the dragon that destroyed her past.
As danger closes in, a quiet, fragile tension builds between them - neither quite ready to admit how much they need each other, or what that might mean.
In a world where trust is scarce and every step could be your last, Deep-Sting's fight is far from over - and neither is the story between them.

Shattered Crown
Lira has lived her entire life as an outcast in the palace, under the cruel thumb of her stepmother, Queen Isolde, who rules the kingdom with an iron fist. Raised as an orphaned noble, Lira was told that her parents were mere servants who died when she was young. She has been repeatedly told that she has no power or potential. Her stepmother constantly belittles her, while her stepsister, Anya, delights in tormenting her at every opportunity. What Lira doesn't know is that she's the true heir to the throne-her real parents were the beloved king and queen, murdered by Isolde, their treacherous servant, who has claimed the crown for herself. To ensure Lira never threatens her reign, Isolde has kept her true identity hidden and has suppressed Lira's latent magical abilities, which would make her an unstoppable force. As Lira grows older, strange things begin to happen around her-faint whispers in the wind, flickering lights, and moments where time seems to stop. When a mysterious stranger arrives in the kingdom with knowledge of her past, Lira's world begins to unravel. Slowly, she starts to uncover the truth about her heritage, her powers, and the dark secret that could change the fate of the kingdom. But as she inches closer to discovering the truth, Isolde tightens her grip on the throne, sending her loyal followers to silence Lira forever. With her magic awakening and enemies closing in, Lira must decide whether to fight for her rightful place as queen-or let the darkness consume her before she ever has a chance to reclaim the crown.Complete

Wings Of Steel: The Tale of Astral and Darkstalker
Long before history remembered him as a tyrant or a legend, Darkstalker was just a dragonet with impossible power-blessed by prophecy, magic, and destiny itself. And yet, before the world claimed him... she did. Astral, a NightWing-SkyWing hybrid born to scorn and suspicion, learned early that dragons fear what they don't understand. With ember-lit scales and a temper to match, she trusted no one-until a bold young dragonet named Darkstalker sat beside her and declared them best friends. From that moment, they were inseparable. She became his anchor. His shield. His flame behind the throne he was destined to seize. But fate is never simple. When a new dragoness enters their lives-a calm, calculating future-seer named Clearsight-Astral's path splits in two: β Let history follow its course... and lose Darkstalker to another. π₯ Or defy fate itself... and claim the future that should have been hers. Loyalty becomes love. Love becomes rivalry. And as Darkstalker rises to power, Astral must decide: Is she his guardian? His weapon? Or the only dragon capable of bringing him back from the edge.
Wings of Fire : A rising storm
Beneath the calm surface of Pyrrhia, something ancient awakens. Decades after the end of the War of SandWing Succession, the dragon tribes have flourished in peace - their wounds healing, their kingdoms rebuilding. But deep beneath the ocean's blackest trench, a forgotten terror stirs: the Abyssal Serpent, a primal force of destruction bound in the darkest part of the sea, has been unleashed. At its command is Nyx, a dragon shrouded in shadow and vengeance, determined to drown the world in silence and fear. As coastlines crumble and nightmares rise from the depths, the fragile unity between the tribes begins to fracture. The dragonets of destiny - now leaders, warriors, and legends in their own right - must rise again to rally the world against a threat greater than any they have ever faced. The call to arms echoes across mountains, forests, deserts, and oceans. Every dragon must choose: stand and fight, or fall to the tide. In the end, it will not be prophecy that saves them - but courage, sacrifice, and the fire that lives within.Complete

Select
Gray has trained for over a decade to enter the rank of Select, an elite group that serves the realm's six courts. But first, she must impress court rulers during the Selection, where each court hosts dangerous tasks to test the Select. Gray is confident she'll be the top choice due to her rare fog magic and unyielding ambition until she fails to prevent the death of a lord during an attack. With the chance to prove herself worthy of a coveted position in the balance, she must persuade his only surviving son, Trystan, to support her in continuing in the Selection or risk dismissal. As the new lord, annoyingly handsome and stubborn Trystan is still a target with no allies, and he doesn't trust anyone, much less the woman he blames for his father's death. Desperate not to lose her chance at the future she knows she's worthy of, Gray shares a secret that could lead to her exploitation: she can access minds. She swears to use her magic to identify threats for Lord Trystan while he repairs the relationship between his court and others. Allied, they maneuver through the Selection, careful to keep a wall between duty and distractions, but secrets are being kept from them. Guards with haunted memories, brutal attacks along the borders, and people going missing in every court begin to stack up. All mention the same thing: an unnatural bright light- the same one Gray saw before Trystan's father died. Suddenly there isn't a clear definition of who the heroes or villains are. All Gray knows is that one side is offering her a title far grander than 'Select', but it will cost her everyone she cares about -- including the new lord she's beginning to fall for.Complete
