Venatu ~ The Hunt (Latin) 

       In a world where humans, elves, and warlocks all roam, is a dangerous, lurking threat to all species. 

The Zar.

They are fast, ruthless, and powerful and have been at war with the realm of Arlan for centuries in a war known as the Mystical War. For years they fighting had remained in no-mans land, and none of the people of Arlan even knew anything about the war. There was no way to enlist and no news of progress. However in the last decade the Zar had become more powerful under new command and the war was taking a turn for the worst.

~~

Kyra didn't expect to be chosen, she hadn't even signed up for the Hunt. It was just by chance that they had found her, and now her life was going to change forever. Being taken from her home, she was to be sent to the academy to train alongside the others that had been selected. Only those who were compatible with a companion were taken, and Kyra was about to discover abilities that she didn't even know she had. Having a dragon as a companion was extremely rare, but would the addition of another dragon rider be enough to win the war once and for all? 

~~

Read Venatu for a story full of action, danger, love, and betrayal.

Ashes and Embers by CocoNova63
23 parts Complete
Long before the floating kingdoms were built, the skies belonged to the dragons alone. Humans feared the skies and the creatures that ruled them. But everything changed when dark forces called Velkraths emerged from the earth - twisted echoes of dragons, corrupted by ancient magic and hunger. They began to burn the kingdoms from the skies downward. Desperate to save her people, a girl named Aerin climbed the highest peak to plead with the dragon Esharion. Instead of taking her life, the dragon saw her courage and bound his soul to hers. In that moment, the first dragon-rider bond was forged - a sacred link of minds and hearts. From Aerin and Esharion, the order of dragon riders was born. Dragons bond to their riders from birth, and when the rider comes of age, the dragon seeks them out. Over centuries, the riders defended the floating kingdom of Aerithal, their bond holding back the Velkraith threat. Yet the bond is dangerous-if one dies, the other often cannot survive the loss. Two childhood best friends, Riven, a quiet and loyal dragon rider, and Lyra, a bold and fiercely independent warrior-have trained side-by-side since they were twelve. Bound to their dragons, Virex and Sora, they've fought countless battles and saved each other's lives more times than they can count. But while Lyra sees Riven as her anchor and brother-in-arms, Riven has silently loved her for years. Lyra, however, is infatuated with Xanten, a charming and noble prince from the kingdom to the South called Medana. When an ancient, giant, monstrous dragon awakens, threatening to destroy their kingdom, Riven and Lyra are chosen for a perilous mission. As they venture deeper into enemy lands, Riven struggles with his feelings, caught between wanting Lyra to know the truth and fearing it would ruin everything they've built
WINGS OF HARMONY  by wings_of_harmony

Introduction to "Wings of Harmony" Long ago, dragons and riders soared as partners beneath open skies, their bond as natural as breath. In that age, trust outshone fear, and the world knew a fragile balance. But wars and betrayals shattered those old accords, twisting unity into suspicion and cruelty. Over centuries, the art of true dragon-riding became little more than a distant legend-whispered among hopeful novices, scoffed at by hardened warriors. Now, on the brink of collapse, a once-proud academy stands as a bastion of rigid discipline rather than mutual understanding. Its students learn to command dragons by force and tradition, not empathy. Yet within these weathered walls and smoke-stained training grounds, a quiet rebellion stirs. A young rider named Nyra, haunted by her family's mysterious legacy, dares to question the old doctrines and the tyrants who enforce them. When a shadow from the past-Dainor, a figure thought long defeated-rises to challenge all that remains of decency and hope, alliances fracture and blood darkens the soil. Wyverns descend in ravenous swarms, and dragons struggle beneath heavy chains. Caught between these forces, Nyra must risk forging bonds deeper than any oath of obedience. She must uncover lost truths, rekindle trust between human and beast, and claim her own place in a lineage that once promised harmony to all. In "Wings of Harmony," war and love, fear and faith, memory and destiny collide. Through battles fought in flame-lit skies and confessions murmured in half-ruined crypts, a new era takes shape-one that may finally break the cycle of violence. As ancient secrets awaken and swords turn to ploughshares, riders and dragons learn once more to dance together in open air, guided not by dominance, but by understanding and hope.

Rise of Fire: Dragons Reborn [COMPLETED] by RosaleeRain
49 parts Complete Mature
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***

Follows story line of the ACOTAR series.... picks off right after ACOSF, so of course spoilers are meant to be said in this story. For people who haven't read ACOTAR, read at your own risk, but fair warning you might be just a tad bit confused. ALSO... I will not be trashing any character, expect for assholes like Beron and his sons (expect for Eris). STORY DESCRIPTION: Gwyneth Berdara has spent her last year still not being able to leave that gods-damned library. She wants to leave, but every time she is about to reach the outside world, she freezes and goes back to Sangravah. She tells herself that she is safe, she is in Velaris, but nothing works. She feels as if she's still stuck in the same place from when she entered the library two years ago. One incident makes her leave the Night Court and into another court. How will she react? Azriel was there in Sangravah, but he had arrived too late. Ever since the incident, Azriel has been slipping farther and farther away from his family. He doesn't know why the incident had been eating away at him, it wasn't his first time failing at his job. Azriel finds shocking news that he must keep from Gwyn. The plot line derives somewhat from the initial description. P.S. : I do not own this art, I just made it as my cover! Same thing goes for the characters, Sarah J Maas, wrote these character from scratch. Except for my OC!
