|Book One of The Soul-Bound Chronicles|

Classic J-RPG and anime elements collide with the Young Adult fiction writing style in this modern fantasy book following Josh Davidson, a teenage boy whose life flips upside down when he becomes soul-bound to a dragon

✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧

     Magic, heroes, dragons.  Josh Davidson has seen it all-in video games and movies, of course, because they would never be anything but fiction.  

     Yet his dreams are slipping into reality, he is experiencing sudden energy surges, and a persistent voice is taking residency in his head.

     All of the insanity explodes when his bully goes on a murderous rampage, and the only one who can stop him is a beautiful girl wielding a bow and shooting magical ice arrows.

     The experience leads Josh to the truth: he's a Paladin, someone soul-bound to a dragon. Not only does he now have a dragon reaching into his thoughts, but the new status comes with magical powers meant to help him in his fight against the forces of darkness.

     Josh is more than eager to hone his new skills and help the Paladins in their fight, but the darkness they face is rising from its slumber, intent on destroying the Paladins and everything they stand for. Josh will have to learn fast, because the most important decisions are those he cannot escape.

     Decisions that risk not only the war which the Paladins fight, but the very people he holds dear.

Exile: The Book of Ever by JamesCormier

Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.

Belynda is about to reach her eighteenth birthday... Desperately she seeks a normal life-an escape from the dreams that haunt her. She feels trapped in a world where supernatural beings exist only in books and television, yet her mind tells her otherwise. Tired of society's labels proclaiming her mentally unstable, she seeks to find answers to her dreams. Dreams of a life that is not her own. A life she feels bound to and calls out to her. Driven by the possibility of a supernatural world, Belynda uncovers hidden proof that goes beyond time and reason. Evidence that her life is bound to Isabel's in unimaginable ways. Isabel is a young girl who struggled in her time against the guardianship rules, a secret society created centuries ago by the fates to control the gates to other realms. Isabel, born to inherit a sit on the council, faces the consequences of her actions after falling in love with an immortal and breaking one of the most sacred rules. A Dragon. A fire-bound creature, they call him, but Drake is more than that. He is the heir to Druleska, the fire realm. Bound by duty and honor, he must accept the punishment the guardianship dictates for loving Isabel. The price, being vanished to Xelraa, the dark realm. Belynda's actions will set their lives in motion and change the course of their destiny. Will she expose the mysteries that keep her awake? Will she cross time and reason to find the love of a life she once knew?

Nagan | Broken Time Series: Book One by ShyGuySamurai

Even stranger, it was there to deliver an invitation. Carvolier was calling to him, as was a larger-than-life destiny. Like father, like son, after all.

Mage Slayer: Book Four of the Empress Saga by drahcirwolf

Reyn has nothing but secrets. Everything she is or has ever been becomes another reason to be despised. Born of demons, pursued by justice, and haunted by regret. In the service of the Dragon Empress, Reyn hoped to find vengeance for the life she lost, but as emissaries from a distant empire arrive with an offer of friendship, Reyn is commanded not to kill the monster she's longed to destroy. Worse, she must work alongside him. Joshuan Krayson goes on the hunt. Demons and their thralls have worked in the shadows throughout history, and only a secret cabal of divine guardians has kept the Five Kingdoms from falling to ruin. Krayson follows the voice of an imprisoned god to its source, hoping to uncover the true purpose the old masters have for the world. All that stands in his way is the Teulite Horde led by his father, the Tiger King. Ban Karst leads the Arcane Knights into Melcia. In the homeland of the spirit callers, Shan Alee and a tumultuous alliance of fey races are met by the true power of House Akazewi. Ban is forced to decide which of the oaths he has given is most precious to him. His bond, his homeland, his fealty, or his heart. Enfri the Yora is hailed and feared as the Dragon Empress. Overwhelmed by the path fate has taken her, Enfri goes back to the beginning. In a simple cottage on the desert's edge, the sky woman of Sandharbor returns home. There she finds the strength to at last deliver the final enclave of her people to safety. Except, a traitor in her midst threatens to undo all that she's worked to build. In the deep sands, secrets best left forgotten return.

But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him.

Become a dragon, and save the world. Drenar found a dragon hiding in his soul, and two of his other friends found out they were going through the same Awakening as him. Dragon science gives way to sudden realizations that their situation results from magical experiments from a mage rebel group. Their goal: to recruit the newly awakened dragons, and overthrow the mage world government. With chemistry class the least of their problems now, he and his friends vow to put a stop to that, and embark on a journey that will reveal startling truths about their world--and themselves.

Heavy chapters will be noted, so there will be fair warning. * Read ahead on Patreon for up to 15 Advance Chapters!

The Sage's Vow [COMPLETE] by Cross-Warrior

|Book Two of The Soul-Bound Chronicles| The veil separating the realms has weakened. With the first four seals stolen, the strength of the temples fades, and more outbreaks from the Energy Realm puts a strain on the Paladins. For Josh, it's nothing he can't handle. With his team by his side, sending magical creatures back where they belong is the best sort of training. At least until Cale and Mara leave for a mission of their own meant to build up their strengths and ditch him with a new teammate he barely knows. As the tensions grow high in the Sanctuary, both because of the ongoing war with the Shadow Knights and shady Sage politics, Josh tries to find comfort in his former life and the people he thought he'd left behind. But his peace is not meant to last. Mara and Cale have disappeared, and all clues point to them being in the Energy Realm. Home to monsters and remnants of Phoenix Dragons, the other realm holds many threats, but Josh will do whatever it takes to find his friends. While there, he discovers a way to give the Paladins an edge in the war, but this solution forces him to make a decision he isn't sure he can make. He must put his fate, as well as those he loves, in the hands of a Sage who hates him. -- Cover by eryxnaps
