Harper Magee, the only female dragon rider in Philadelphia, is hiding a secret - the illegal kind with wings and talons. When she falls for a boy she has no business falling for, she puts everything she loves at risk.
*****
Sparks fly when Harper, a dragon trainer and fiery redhead, meets Rory, an overly-ambitious rookie who mistakes her for a mister. Despite her initial brush-off, he shows up again to prove he's not such an arrogant flyboy. Being a polite lass, Harper lets him escort her to the World's Fair, and they end up on an airship that takes Harper's breath away. But the trouble just balloons from there when Rory discovers a family secret hiding beneath the Magee family barn.
Dragons, airships, and bounty hunters abound in this steampunk tale that introduces a headstrong Scottish lass, her spunky dragons, and a flyboy who turns it all upside down.

Taniel (The Taverner's Daughter I)
THE TAVERNER'S DAUGHTER - BOOK ONE FANTASY, MAGIC, DRAGONS, ROMANCE, WINGED WIZARDS. Please Note: The rest of this series will not be published until the complete series is drafted and revised - probably another four volumes over the next year. However, this book doesn't end on some really bad cliffhanger, and I think it has a satisfactory 'end' feel, so do read it if you wish. After mistaking a leather-clad wizard for a dragonrider, the taverner's daughter agrees to binding vows: Jarryd hopes for a magic-saving paternity spell but Taniel just wants his dragon. Of course, it is not that simple. It never is. Others have plans for Taniel and can do without Jarryd's interference. Taniel's father is little help, too busy dealing with a guilty conscious and pining for his missing wife. Add talking dragons, kidnappings, a gallivanting Grandmaster Wizard, a wicked stepfather, seductive shape shifting winged wizards, and midwitchery. Stir with rumour of plotting land-locked pirates, spies, feisty forest sprites, rockgoblins, and a failing magical barrier. Welcome to the world of A Corrangorachian Fantasy. SOME MILD MATURE MOMENTS (but maybe not enough to mark MATURE): A few not-particularly-graphic sex scenes. Violence? Could get nasty, depending on your perception. Drug Use? Pipe smoking, copious alcohol, and the odd potion. And some coarse language, of course. (AUSTRALIAN - BRITISH ENGLISH)Lengkap
Iron Strength : The Empyrean Series
Reagan was always left out and pushed aside, always forgotten about. Living with a foster family who were as loyal to the Crown of Navarre as the King himself, she felt very unprepared for Conscription Day. She had no training to become a Dragon Rider- even the other Relic kids ignored her. Now at 20 she's forced into the Riders Quadrant, where her chance of surviving until Threshing is almost zero. Ride or die. Those are her options. However, the longer she survives, the more she feels that maybe... Just maybe she might have a shot, maybe even bond a dragon, find some friends. The longer she survives, the more she questions her past, one she always thought she knew, but now...? She needs to figure out who she is and how she fits into this rebellion war around her. •§• Takes place during Iron Flame (Book 2 of The Empyrean Series - "Fourth Wing" - by Rebecca Yarros- all rights of the world and her characters ext to her) *will have Iron Flame and Onyx Storm spoilers*
Partisan - Book II
*COMPLETE* "People don't believe in us anymore. They don't believe that in the end we will do what is right. We can't let them down. We can't let Ben win." Decisions made on top of the lonely, wind-swept cliff of Lethinor reverberate around the five kingdoms as war begins in earnest. This is a sequel to Paragon, it's my very, very, very strong recommendation you read it first, otherwise you will be totally lost. I am not joking. If your interest is piqued, here's a quick blurb for Paragon: _____________________ There are whispers across the kingdoms that the Paragon, that strangely gifted person who can wield all four Skills, has been found. They're wrong, of course. No one has caught the Paragon. Allayria should know: she's it. But Allayria doesn't want to be the Paragon, and in her pursuit of freedom she finds herself enmeshed in a web of lies, caught in a group who might be even more dangerous than she could have imagined. _____________________ You can read Paragon here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/95374969-paragon Highest ranking: #86 in Fantasy 2/10/2018 WIP Cover art and written work by Azi.

The Dragon's Heir [Beta][Complete]
COMPLETE #1 in Fantasy #1 in Adventure #1 in Historical Fiction ---------- Sometimes, believing helps us to see truth. Other times, we need a little evidence to believe. But there is truth behind everything; every false manoeuvre, ever little lie...a small piece of truth is hidden. Just like truth is wound into legends too. Growing up best friend to the future King, Arabelle never really thought her life could go wrong. Whenever she wanted something, or needed something, she would get it. Then she lost her father at a young age and Arabelle was forced into a world of dresses, balls, and lies. Being a tomboy, Arabelle would have rather been out on her horse doing archery practice with her brothers. When Arabelle gets curious and sneaks into a forbidden area of the castle, she discovers a deadly secret: her bloodline is sacred, dating back to a legend surrounded by the one thing she knows not to be true. Unsure what to do, she gets caught up in a series of events that lead to her being hidden and whisked away from the only familiar place she knew. After making some unlikely allies, Arabelle sets off on a journey to find the legend of the last dragon egg. Fate has something big in store for her; will she be able to withstand the pressure of it all?There is one thing Arabelle needs to learn to survive this new place... Some things are more than a legend. ---------- © Isabella Espe 2013 - 2019 This is a work of fiction.

A Prophecy of Fire
Legend of the Torchbearer - Book One Most children are lulled to sleep by softly sung lullabies or the sound of snoring family members, I fell asleep to the roar of dragon-song thundering through the mountain known as Beinn Na Nathrach; named for the creatures who first made it their home. Dragons roamed the world long before men, and at their height, nobody could have foreseen their downfall. Now Beinn Na Nathrach is the last nest, and the riders of Dùn Ceò - the ancient fortress carved into the mountainside - are the crumbling remnants of a once noble and powerful sept of armies the world over. As an orphan brought up within the walls of a dragon keep, following orders and watching the riders train is as close as I'll ever get to joining their ranks. Life for me is laid out as a servant, with my place secure as the ward of one of the commanders. I can see it ahead of me; the years of mucking out stables, fetching food, mending clothes and equipment, when all my heart aches for is to know how it feels to see wings stretched out either side of me. Yet the monotony of life is shaken when a hatchling is found in the forest, and rumours of rebellion in the most Northern villages begin to spring up. But why would a few unruly farmers require an entire contingent of well-armed soldiers who seem overly interested in the goings on in Dùn Ceò? If the hatchling didn't come from the last known nest, where did he come from? And what does it have to do with a legend told as a bed time story?
Emily's House: Book 1 of the Akasha Chronicles
Fourteen-year-old Emily Adams is flunking math - and life. But Emily has a secret, one that she has kept even from her best friends. Soon the ancient legacy coursing through her veins will force her secret to be revealed. Dormant for over a thousand years, an evil has arisen and this time, it will destroy anyone - or anything - that stands in its way. Three teens embark on a dangerous journey and risk everything. For Emily, the fate of her friends - and her world - lies in her hands. Travel with Emily as she unlocks the secrets of her Celtic ancestors as she goes on a mystical journey to the inner house and beyond. Join the Journey . . . WHAT READERS ARE SAYING: "Natalie Wright has divined in Emily's House a simultaneous modern and ancient fairy tale of the greatest kind: sans parents, sans immediate consequence, sans cowardice. Bravery is said to be not the lack of fear, but action in the face of it. Like the best of Grimm, Perrault and Charles Schulz, Ms. Wright's kids find themselves amidst adventure, terror and turmoil, as well as ineffective and/or absent parental units. By their own bootstraps they must find help themselves to find their way home, to save not only each other, but perchance an entire civilization. "Adults drool, kids rule" is the motto for any well-written young adult or children's tale. Natalie's kids indeed rule. This one will last, alongside Grimm, Perrault and Schulz, in the coffers of timeless, fantasy literature. Plus, there's Hindergog and no one could not love Hindergog! Well done, Ms. Wright. Well done, indeed." - Jennifer S. Devore, author of "The Darlings of Orange County"Lengkap
Forged by Fire
Elaine Rainier had a pretty clear picture of how she hoped her future would turn out. All she ever dreamed of was to live a perfectly normal life and work as her adopted father's assistant blacksmith. Simple and easy. All that changed the day her sister was kidnapped, an event that turned her life upside down and sent it on a completely different course, all in the blink of an eye. Now Elaine is forced to face the past she preferred to leave far behind as she searches for her sister with the help of the Captain of the Guard, Gunter, who she might have been harboring secret feelings for since they were kids. But the captain has secrets of his own, ones he's reluctant to share, and he may or may not accept Elaine's own secrets, ones she had hoped would never see the light of day. Together, they head for the king's mountain estate where they hope to find safety from the assassins who took Elaine's sister, assassins who might have been after a different target altogether. All the while, Elaine tries to deny the fact that her future dreams may never become reality. **If you like stories about elemental magic and dragon shifters, then you've come to the right place. Have a look and I hope you enjoy! *This contains very mild language only.Lengkap
