Seris Vale was ordinary. Forgotten in a fading town, scraping by shift to shift, she thought the only fire in her life came from the matches she lit to keep herself warm.
Until the night the fire answered back.
Dragged into a world of ancient magic, ruthless politics, and creatures that stalk the shadows, Seris discovers she isn't just anyone-she's a name whispered in a legend older than the school that now claims her. A school where dragons choose their riders, shadows have teeth, and secrets burn hotter than any flame.
Bound to a boy she'd rather despise than trust, Seris must walk the razor's edge between fire and shadow, desire and danger. Because the legend doesn't care if she's ready.
It only cares if she survives.

The Age of Embers.
The Age of Embers. In the shadowed dawn of the world, before mortal tongues sang of sorrow or glory, dragons ruled the skies as stewards of balance, born of flame and memory. Among them, Ignis, the Eternal Flame, bore the wisdom of ages, upholding harmony between sacred fire and the ever-changing world. But where fire glows, shadow rises, and mankind emerged from dust with the will to choose, forging a fragile place in a world not made for them. What began in awe twisted into envy. Reverence soured into fear. And from fear, betrayal was born. Thus fell the dragons, hunted and broken beneath steel and pride. The noble Solis deceived. The wrathful Caelum struck down. And at last, only Ignis remained-her fate entwined with a queen, whose choices would echo into legend. Told in eight short, sweeping books, The Age of Embers is a tale of war and wisdom, of legacy and loss. It is the passing of an age... and the uncertain birth of another. Yet even as the fire dims, one ember endures. A dragon hatchling, Vaelith, born into silence and guided by a lone sage, awakens in the deep places of the world. And with him, a question rekindles: Can fire, once broken by fear, rise in understanding?Complete

Gemstones
What if the fire they feared... was the only thing that could save them? Red never asked to be chosen. Dragged into a world of ancient schools, elemental magic, and brutal expectations, she learns that power comes at a cost - and obedience is only ever demanded by those who fear your flame. But Red doesn't burn for them. As war erupts and secrets unravel - about her past, the voice in her head, and the dark figure who understands her too well - Red must decide what she's willing to destroy to claim the truth. Even if that means becoming the very thing they swore to stop. When loyalty fractures and the world begins to fracture with it, only one question remains: Is she the weapon... or the fire that ends everything?

And it remembers the boy.![A Fifth Daughter [Book 1: The Dragon Rider]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/58697914-256-k850759.jpg)
A Fifth Daughter [Book 1: The Dragon Rider]
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.
