Synopsis

High above a storm-torn sea, the Cliffside Kingdom endures - the last place where humans and dragons still trust one another. Their bonds are sacred. Their fire keeps the dark at bay.

When the Ash Ceremony names Ryker Stormridge, he swears his scarred arm and his haunted past will never control him again. But his dragon, Obsidian, bears the Rune of Pain - and pain demands to be remembered.

Elara Emberlyn was born to heal, not to fight. Yet the memories she buried run deeper than any wound. Her dragon, Vitalis, carries the Rune of Remembrance, and together they see what others try to forget.

Drawn together by dragons already soul-mated, Ryker and Elara become unwilling partners in a kingdom fraying under politics, forbidden bonds, and the rumor of a mad King Dragon rising from legend. To save their world, they must face the fire within - theirs and each other's - before it consumes everything.

Because in Cliffside, power isn't commanded.

Bonds in all Forms by CrystalWaterStar

Living in a world filled with Dragons were miracles beyond belief. Fighting along side them was an honor. Forming bonds that were made possible through comradery and trust. The world was at peace and flourishing with life after centuries of war with one another. However, the evil that made it all possible has never been forgotten. What once was sealed will be unleashed, as the Demon Realm will try to take over once more... ...Along with the King that was born from that war. ______________________________________________ NOTE: This is a school project of mine that is done within two months. It is rated for Mature readers because this book contains violence, strong languages, and bloodshed. Digital artworks that will be shown in this book are all owned by me. This book is a mix of Medieval, Fantasy, and Modern eras. It will also feature the theme of family. Take note that what is written in this book is purely fiction. Credits for inspiration on making this will be shown at the end of the book in closing. I hope you enjoy reading my first complete original.

Ashes and Embers by CocoNova63

Long before the floating kingdoms were built, the skies belonged to the dragons alone. Humans feared the skies and the creatures that ruled them. But everything changed when dark forces called Velkraths emerged from the earth - twisted echoes of dragons, corrupted by ancient magic and hunger. They began to burn the kingdoms from the skies downward. Desperate to save her people, a girl named Aerin climbed the highest peak to plead with the dragon Esharion. Instead of taking her life, the dragon saw her courage and bound his soul to hers. In that moment, the first dragon-rider bond was forged - a sacred link of minds and hearts. From Aerin and Esharion, the order of dragon riders was born. Dragons bond to their riders from birth, and when the rider comes of age, the dragon seeks them out. Over centuries, the riders defended the floating kingdom of Aerithal, their bond holding back the Velkraith threat. Yet the bond is dangerous-if one dies, the other often cannot survive the loss. Two childhood best friends, Riven, a quiet and loyal dragon rider, and Lyra, a bold and fiercely independent warrior-have trained side-by-side since they were twelve. Bound to their dragons, Virex and Sora, they've fought countless battles and saved each other's lives more times than they can count. But while Lyra sees Riven as her anchor and brother-in-arms, Riven has silently loved her for years. Lyra, however, is infatuated with Xanten, a charming and noble prince from the kingdom to the South called Medana. When an ancient, giant, monstrous dragon awakens, threatening to destroy their kingdom, Riven and Lyra are chosen for a perilous mission. As they venture deeper into enemy lands, Riven struggles with his feelings, caught between wanting Lyra to know the truth and fearing it would ruin everything they've built

A Plaything for the Dragons by annablazer

❝Two dragons and their dirty little plaything.❞ I didn't have much before the war. Just a name, a half-broken past, and kraken scars that burn every time I breathe. The war didn't break me-it just left marks that never healed. Now, I scrape by in the Banished Realm doing what I must to survive-petty crimes, quiet getaways, keeping my head low and my secrets buried. It's barely enough. Until desperation pushes me into a mission I can't afford to refuse. One risky job. One promised payout. One brutal trap I never saw coming. Framed for a crime I didn't commit, I'm dragged into the dungeons of the Banished Kings. A mated pair-ancient, ruthless, and sinfully beautiful. They claim they want answers. But the way they circle me, the way their eyes linger on my scars and the fire beneath my skin... it's not just the truth they crave. I have a secret they can never uncover. Because if they do, they won't destroy me. They'll devour me-mind, body, and soul. And I don't know if I'll beg them to stop... or to never stop at all.

Drake of the Northwind by PaulMayo2

In a world where the echoes of dragons still shake the heavens, one young wizard walks the thin line between water and ice, peace and vengeance. Raised by the ancient Water Dragon Vasserneel and taught the forgotten ways of Dragon Slayer magic, Meliodas Drake once lived a life of calm strength-until the day his mentor vanished into a storm that split sea from sky. Left with only a frozen scale and a pendant marked by a broken rune, Meliodas began a journey across Fiore, chasing whispers of dragons and legends buried beneath the tides. But power has a price. When an encounter with a frost-beast awakens the dormant Ice Dragon Slayer magic within him, Meliodas becomes something new-something the world hasn't seen before. His heart is torn between two natures: the flowing mercy of water and the unforgiving stillness of ice. As he travels the land, crossing paths with mages, guilds, and foes alike, Meliodas must learn to control the storm within him before it consumes everything he loves. For in the north winds, an ancient force stirs-one that remembers the dragons, and the boy who carries their legacy in his soul. Elemental magic. Lost dragons. A hero forged by the tides. The legend of Drake of the Northwind begins.

The Age of Embers. by AncientsofRome

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?

.Silent Flight. by ChrisWolfblood

Far from any known parts, far from the Solor and Kazaras, far from spirits, elves, and dragons, far from anything. Far up north where ice floats across the ocean in blocks, where there exists only winter and lesser winter. Further, than all know land... Lived humans. Their beliefs are nothing seen before, fighters to the soul. They live on these far-forgotten landmasses, fighting for resources with the ultimate hunter in water, sky, and land.

Dragon Bound - The Saga of Flames and Frost by opheliasikes

Illara had trained all her life for this moment. She had been chosen - from all eligible women throughout the three kingdoms - to be presented to the dragon. Her noble sacrifice would ensure the safety of her lands for a full year. She glowed with pride at the thought. And any moment now the massive dragon would come soaring over the mountains, his massive strength and awesome power - What was this? Along a rocky pass, moving with the persistence of a love-struck cow, was something metallic. Something shiny. Her heart thundered with panic as the object drew closer and resolved into a shape. For she knew it could ruin everything. It could cause the destruction of all she held dear. It was a knight. * * * Half of all proceeds of the Dragon novelettes benefit battered women's shelters. While this first book is non-explicit, due to the strong sexual content and adult situations in future books, this romantic suspense series is recommended for readers aged 17+. The series is structured for readers to read along as I write them to offer feedback and suggestions on the complex storyline. If you're the style of reader who would prefer to wait until the entire series is finished before you tackle it, that is fine! Simply wait until the series is complete and I'll offer the boxed set. I do that with all of my books. The reason I publish as I write is that I don't write full time and it can sometimes take months for me to finish up a storyline. There are readers who don't want to wait - who would rather read along as I go and stay engaged in the process. That way they can provide feedback and suggestions on the storyline. Whichever way works well for you, I provide an option. I'd love to hear from you at my website at OpheliaSikes.com.
