Dreams suck.

Idris can tell you that. She was a knight for about five minutes till she was kicked out of the castle for being a girl.

Or Alvira. She just wanted to be a good fairy and help a princess, but she got stepped on by a witch.

Or Zepheriah. She's a pirate that wanted to renounce her ways but the thrill of stealing was too tempting.

Even Sieran. All she wanted to do was stop killing people with her voice. Instead she ended up owing a debt to a warlock (nasty business).

The point is: Their lives aren't fairytales. Fairytales make it seem easy. But this is a new kind of tale.

One that certainly doesn't do 'happily ever after'.

A world at war . . . Two rivals for the throne . . . If chosen by the six magets, one will have the throne for their own . . . In the land of Magic, all sorts of beings live together. But during this Era, the land is at war. A unicorn prince and a mermaid queen are warring to see who would be the next ruler of the land. To stop the war, a special group of people must choose. But those people are emotionally unstable magets. Luna is a Night Bringer dragon, but she isn't pureblood. She also has the abilities of a Water Sprayer and the scales of a Weather Wing. Under normal circumstances, nothing would be wrong, just would have trouble controlling extra powers. But the Night Bringers of the continent weren't open to hybrids in their species. That fact caused Luna so much pressure and stress to hide and cost her a spot at her dream school. But then comes the faithful day when she is revealed to be a part of a prophecy of her and five other magets that would stop the war. (A prophecy Luna had first, but that's beside the point) She and the other five are then thrust into a plot of conspiracy, secrets, and death, surrounded by people they don't know if they can trust or not. The pressure for Luna is only amplified by the added factor of might not being able to survive. Is this really how it's supposed to go? Is Luna going through all of this pressure for a good reason? Or are there factors she hasn't even considered? Inspired by Wings of Fire and Upside-down Magic THERE WILL BE BLOOD AND DEPRESSING THEMES! BUT TUI T. SUTHERLAND SEEMED TO GET AWAY WITH IT, AND I CAN TOO! Edit: [I am editing this story to make the story clearer and make more sense, just to let you know]
Dragon Bound - The Saga of Flames and Frost by opheliasikes
11 parts Complete Mature
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.
To Marry a Dragon by DomiSotto
30 parts Complete
||WATTY 2021 SHORTLIST|| Ex-Princess-Bride wants to marry her beloved Dragon, but when a curse threatens their happily ever after, they are left racing against time to break the spell before it breaks their hearts. *** Elvira, a princess who gave up her rights to the crown to go on adventures and do good, falls in love with a dragon knight Ferrante. Alas, copious amounts of lightning bolts threaten to keep Elvira and Ferrante apart forever, to protect the rights of her long-forgotten, dead-beat betrothed. Who knew that magic-sealed marriage contracts don't have an expiration date when the royals are involved? With romance on the line, Elvira immediately sets out in search of her betrothed to wed him, bed him and be done with him. It would have been simple, except her runaway prince had since become a highway robber and nobody knows where he might be hiding. Ferrante, infuriated with Elvira's quest to save their nuptials, takes on the ancient Arcane Guild to annul the contract. More brawn than brains, the fine print is not his forte, and the dangers of sparring with nimble minds are far greater than he had seen in his nightmares. Meanwhile, a sinister puppet-master also has designs on Elvira... So, the race to the altar is on! Age range I think is NA to adult, but it's smut-free. If you see this book on any other site, they'd stolen it. If they're charging you for it, this is the best and free version. Please read it on W-A-T-T-pad. First Published: April 29, 2020

REWRITE IS UP NOW ANd is way better seriously. Taking a shortcut was the most life-changing decision Rosalie had ever made. One large demon cat later, she's whisked away by two knights to a separate realm because of her violet eyes and striking resemblance to their long lost princess. Ro is shoved into a life of magic, with duties to her kingdom and people piled on top. Duties, like being forced to attend the most elite school in the realm for young knights in training. But with her newfound strength and political influence comes death threats and assassination attempts from an unseen enemy. Rosalie juggles everything in her new life, hoping that she'll one day be the ruler she knows her kingdom deserves. This story has been one I've bounced around my head for years now, and I've finally written it out. You could say this is a labor of love. And pain. And caffeine. So much caffeine. Enjoy this, my first story. EDIT: Now that I've poked around on Wattpad some, I realize that this is somewhat similar to MyLovelyWriter's Celeste Academy. I'm very sorry for any misunderstanding, but I can assure you, I just have an awkward and longstanding obsession with castles, knights, and magic.
