How do you save your family from the secret they are sworn to protect? 

After a creepy stranger comes to their family's apartment in the middle of the night to deliver an ultimatum--turn over what belongs to him or die-- fourteen-year-old Miranda McAdelind and her eleven-year-old brother Justin are sent away to the protective safety of their estranged grandfather's ranch in rural Colorado. 

However, the ranch does not turn out to be the safe haven that their parents believe it to be. Not only do mysterious, near fatal, accidents keep happening but someone is stealing priceless objects from the ranch, objects that if discovered would expose a wondrous secret their family is sworn to protect: that dragons are real. 

Can Miranda and Justin find out who is responsible for the thefts before the council of Dragon Lords seizes control of their family's ranch, or will they be the next victims of whoever, or whatever, is working to destroy them?All Rights Reserved

Curse Uncurse - ONC 2020 [Completed] by MeredithAll

Just like all the other Dragon Heirs of age, Plamen attends The Grand Test of Power so the Gods can judge who of them is worthy of breaking the curse that binds Dragon kind to human bodies. Not many managed to pass the test - you can count them on the fingers of one hand. Even worse, only one person came close to breaking the curse, yet failed. Plamen will do anything to succeed, even unwillingly team up with two other Dragon Heirs. Zima and Vid are interesting companions, though, ones he thinks he doesn't need. The obstacle appearing in front of them is not something anyone could predict but, to their utter bafflement, they pass the Test. However, it comes at a steep price. Because now, they just need to find out how to stay alive. From one corner it's Goddess Nužda's minions attacking them - and not just them, but their friends, families, everyone's at risk - and from another, it's the political machinations of adult dragons that make this endeavor almost impossible. '...what price are you willing to pay?' The ancient prophecy speaks of the three that will be victorious, but it's not complete and the missing parts are ones they need to be wary of.

Rise of Fire: Dragons Reborn [COMPLETED] by RosaleeRain

The world had long since forgotten the age of dragons, those creatures that had once ruled the skies as gods had long since disappeared after the conclusion of the Great Demon Wars. Dragons became nothing more than a fading legend, a story to tell children at bedtime. But the gods could not let the dragons die, for they were the last defense against the demon armies and the dark god Vekkar. Talia had been born and raised in a world of darkness acting as an agent of Hephatus, goddess of assassins and death. She knew only a life of killing, sometimes for justice, sometimes for honor, always for money. Her morals were opaque at best. But when she's deployed to the city of Arboros she finds herself thrust into a world of political games, opposing powers, and constant threat. Nowhere was safe even for her. Her goals became muddied, and then lost altogether when she meets the Dwarven Prince. Bromyr had spent the last five years of his life chasing ghosts, desperate to find the lost dragon eggs. His people thought him crazy, his father stripped him of his titles, but he never gave up. Eventually his effort bore fruit and he hastily made way to return to his homeland only to get caught up in the city of Arboros. It was there that he met an intriguing half-giant, a woman who ignited a fire everywhere she went. In the end she was the one who inadvertently brought about the new age of dragons. What could go wrong when an ill tempered assassin becomes the first dragon rider of a new age? ***Cover made by annie1loves1you***

Fayre by Nikkireadw

Melissa Crawford thinks she's just a regular teenage girl. She goes to school. She has friends, boy problems, homework...you know, the typical teenage angst. But she couldn't be more wrong, for Melissa Crawford is not a mortal. Her adoptive mortal mother refused to give her up and hired a witch to erase the enchanting Faery child's memory, not realizing that things aren't that simple. You see, when she was a little girl, Melissa promised herself forever to her Leannan Sidhe (mate), a Fae Prince, and a promise to Fae is sacred. When the Fae Prince comes back to claim what's his, nothing will get in his way. "Mortals are so arrogant. So utterly narcissistic to think that they are the only intelligence in this world, to believe their realm is the only realm, their way is the only way. "Many of you believe us fairies only exist in little kids' fairy tales. We are so much more than that. We exist, living in the Realm just a blink away from yours. A few wrong turns in the park or the forest and you're there. We sometimes walk among you, and you're not even aware of it. Believe me, we exist. Across the globe, your kind calls us and our realm by different names...but as William Shakespeare once said- a rose by any other name..."
