The Kingdom of Vareth was built on dragon fire, ruled by riders feared across the realm. But not all who enter the Dragon Rider Quadrant come for honor.

Princess Verena Corvin refuses to be caged by crown or duty. Disguised as a recruit, she risks treason to claim her freedom in the Quadrant. Survival should be her greatest challenge. But then there's him.

Grayson Ashford-ruthless rider, feared legend, and sworn enemy of her bloodline. He's waited years for revenge, and now the daughter of the man he despises has walked straight into his domain. He'll break her. Make her fail. Watch her fall.

But Verena is not the fragile royal he expected. Every strike meant to ruin her only sharpens her fire. Every obstacle only steels her will. And when a rogue, untamable dragon chooses her, she becomes impossible to erase.

Hatred turns to obsession. Loathing twists into dangerous attraction. The harder he pushes, the harder she pushes back-until their fury burns hotter than dragon fire. But war is coming, secrets are unraveling, and Grayson's vengeance may cost them both everything.

She was supposed to be his enemy.
So why does he keep saving her?

The Space Between Lightning by coldtearsx3
31 parts Ongoing Mature
She's still small-but she's not soft. A reimagining of Fourth Wing with a heroine who's not just fragile and tiny-she's powerful, dangerous, and absolutely not afraid of dragons or heartbreak - currently trending in Liam Mairi. Expect slow-burn romance, deadly training, a messy love triangle, and a shadow boy who's very much not out of reach... yet. This is also partly my guilty pleasure. It won't follow every detail of the book, but will still follow the major plot points. - Apparently you all like dragons and slow burns 😊 #1 in dragon riders 🐉

Trained alongside his sister to protect those he cares for, more so now than ever after the death of his soulmate and betrayal of his best friend.

Darius Zandro Rosendal is sick of playing the picture-perfect Crown Prince of Vandaria. His father sees nothing but a ghost when he's nearby, too busy praying to the Gods and their Saints that his wife's womb carries another boy. Darius's life force runs through the veins of his guard and best friends. He has the family he wants, all the luxury wealth can buy, but still finds something missing. That is until an unexpected visitor gives him hope for the life he's only dreamt of. Can they keep the demons coming from every direction from breaking down the walls? Are they capable of fulfilling their destiny? Or will they fail and damn the world to its crumbling end? This is just the beginning, and hope is running thin. **Average Word Count Per Chapter: 4,000 **Edited (x1) LET ME KNOW IF YOU SPOT GRAMMAR ISSUES!

A Fifth Daughter [Book 1: The Dragon Rider] by JJHays
30 parts Complete
A MODERN MEDIEVAL FANTASY #3 in Fantasy |Book 1 of the Fifth Daughter Trilogy| When darkness arises and the world of Fantasy is in danger of being destroyed, the Dragon Riders are the first to show up. Fire and fang, sword and shaft, meet the enemy head on and the wars don't end until the enemy is disbanded. It's not a pretty business, but it must be done to secure the lives of every creature within Fantasy. There are two Rider schools - over thousands of Riders and dragons - and Smoke Green is one of them, no matter how much she dislikes the idea and the heights. Her fate has been chosen, even if she doesn't want it. With a vacant father, a mother who has too many secrets, four older sisters, an older brother, and a three minute older, annoying twin brother, Smoke isn't expected to be much more than a hometown girl of Folklore; who will get a boring desk job and never leave home. But then the Sage of the Burrows proclaims her a Dragon Rider and a Fifth Daughter and Smoke's life changes stories - literally. Moving from Folklore to Legend, Smoke is taught that fears can be conquered and villains do have a hunger for power. She also learns she might just have the power this villain is after. She makes friends: Something she didn't know she could do, she finds her dragon: Someone she didn't know even existed, and she learns her past: Something she didn't know was so complicated. But when rebellions begin to break out across the globe; the world of Fantasy is once again put in danger and the Dragon Riders might not be able to save their home this time around. Especially, when the enemy is from one of their own royal families; once thought incinerated, and his accomplice might just be Smoke's long thought dead father. In this first book of the Fifth Daughter Trilogy, J.J. wants you to forget everything you think you know of mythology and open your mind to a new kind of fantasy.

Rise of Fire: Dragons Reborn [COMPLETED] by RosaleeRain
49 parts Complete Mature
The world had long since forgotten the age of dragons, those creatures that had once ruled the skies as gods had long since disappeared after the conclusion of the Great Demon Wars. Dragons became nothing more than a fading legend, a story to tell children at bedtime. But the gods could not let the dragons die, for they were the last defense against the demon armies and the dark god Vekkar. Talia had been born and raised in a world of darkness acting as an agent of Hephatus, goddess of assassins and death. She knew only a life of killing, sometimes for justice, sometimes for honor, always for money. Her morals were opaque at best. But when she's deployed to the city of Arboros she finds herself thrust into a world of political games, opposing powers, and constant threat. Nowhere was safe even for her. Her goals became muddied, and then lost altogether when she meets the Dwarven Prince. Bromyr had spent the last five years of his life chasing ghosts, desperate to find the lost dragon eggs. His people thought him crazy, his father stripped him of his titles, but he never gave up. Eventually his effort bore fruit and he hastily made way to return to his homeland only to get caught up in the city of Arboros. It was there that he met an intriguing half-giant, a woman who ignited a fire everywhere she went. In the end she was the one who inadvertently brought about the new age of dragons. What could go wrong when an ill tempered assassin becomes the first dragon rider of a new age? ***Cover made by annie1loves1you***
