The Rise of the Dragon Realms is set in a high-fantasy world, where the Dragon Realms-ancient territories ruled and protected by the dragons-are under threat from a malevolent force that seeks to enslave all life. This force is led by the Dark One, a sorcerer of unimaginable power who has harnessed forbidden magic from the Netherworld. His ambition is not just to rule the world but to twist the natural order, making dragons his slaves and turning the world into a wasteland of his creation.

The Paragon by Andi_Hale

In the Empire, wizardry is expressly outlawed. Any of those who exhibit magical powers are taken away, never to be seen again. It's been this way for over one hundred years, and there is no way to fight back against the oppressive government-you can only attempt to escape it. Nineteen-year-old Imogen Reid does just that. When wizards find they can no longer hide safely inside the Empire, they turn to the Owls to flee it. Immy, along with her twin brother Eli, and the rest of the Owls have helped countless wizards escape the continent to live a safer life in the Free Nations. Immy is nothing if not an expert on the art of running away. Her life, however, is severely disrupted when she develops strange powers-powers that should be impossible for her to have. Before she knows it, she's been whisked away by a group of people calling themselves "Redcloaks," a name Immy has only heard in legends, and being told that she is in fact their next leader. The Redcloaks claim that she has been chosen by the spirits. She is the greatest wizard of them all. She is the Paragon. And nothing has ever terrified her more.

27 parts Complete Mature
TEASER: "No fiancée of mine needs to learn how to fight." His breath flows upon the prickling skin of my neck. I close my eyes, involuntarily shuddering in response. "All you need to know how to do is satisfy me." "How exactly am I supposed to satisfy you?" The answer to such a question is obvious, yet, like the idiot I am, I still asked him. "Blood...and of course, other means." BLURB: Cyra is pulled into a foreign world where humans are rarities while vampires, elves, werewolves, witches, and more strange creatures are the norm. That's the least of her worries though. Now the bride of one of the most powerful vampires in all of the kingdom, she is faced with two choices. One: give in and accept her doomed future with a husband who detests humans, or two: successfully kill him before he is crowned King of Bestias.
