The First book in The Legends of Sciana series.

What if dragons existed? What if there was a magical island full of them in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean that no one had ever heard of or seen before? What if there was such thing as half-dragon hybrid humans that live among us?

Scarlett Kaida--or Sera Kingston as she prefers to be called--has just discovered that she is the daughter of a dragon, and not just any dragon, the KING of dragons. One night she's attacked by a demon and saved by kids just like her, dragon royalty. There's Luc, the heir to the throne of the dragon peacekeeper; Talia, the future leader of the entire dragon army; and Kallan, a seemingly normal girl, except for the fact that she can tell the future. 

Scarlett is then sent to Eternal Academy, a prestigious school for dragon kids just like her, Scale Children. And for a homeschooler, it's quite a shock. Not only does she have to deal with the pressures of being Scale Child royalty, but everything from grades, mean girls, her boyfriend's creepy stalker and a threat from the evil dragon Kali that locked away her father. Scarlett receives information that someone on campus is one of Kali's minions, and will kill Scarlett and the rest of the Crown in six days, which isn't a lot of time at all. When the school goes into a rampage and blames her cousin, Adrian, for being the spy, Scarlett must risk it all to prove his innocence. And it doesn't get any better when she figures out she'll be betrayed by one of the people she calls a friend.

In the end, which will she choose? Royalty or Revenge?

"Tell me something real about you. Like, where are your parents? Do you have any siblings? Give me something that shows me who the real Kaia Jones is. I hardly know a single thing about you, and yet, I've been telling you everything about me." "You want to know who the real Kaia Jones is? She's a bitch. She screws around with guys who could care less about her other than her body. She definitely doesn't date. And you know what? She likes it that way. She hates that just because she shares a meaningless kiss with someone, doesn't mean that he gets to ask her, her whole fucking life story." Yup, I've been told that I'm self-destructive and tend to fuck things up... ----------------------------------------------------------------- Kaia Jones starts mid-senior year of high school in a town known as Forestwood. Pretty fitting right? With trees surrounding the small town, and oh, let's not forget about the beasts that lurk within these same forests. What happens when one of these beasts is none other than Asher Lodge? And why does Kaia suddenly feel so attracted to this one guy? I mean, she's used to one-night stands and fighting in underground fight clubs. So what happens when you mix werewolves, witches, and past struggles that come back to bite you in the ass? Well, you get a dangerously beautiful story of course. Warning: This book is rated mature and will have mature-themed content. This includes sex, underage drinking and drug use, rape, violence, and strong language. #32 in Werewolf
A Fifth Daughter [Book 1: The Dragon Rider] by JJHays
30 parts Complete
A MODERN MEDIEVAL FANTASY #3 in Fantasy |Book 1 of the Fifth Daughter Trilogy| When darkness arises and the world of Fantasy is in danger of being destroyed, the Dragon Riders are the first to show up. Fire and fang, sword and shaft, meet the enemy head on and the wars don't end until the enemy is disbanded. It's not a pretty business, but it must be done to secure the lives of every creature within Fantasy. There are two Rider schools - over thousands of Riders and dragons - and Smoke Green is one of them, no matter how much she dislikes the idea and the heights. Her fate has been chosen, even if she doesn't want it. With a vacant father, a mother who has too many secrets, four older sisters, an older brother, and a three minute older, annoying twin brother, Smoke isn't expected to be much more than a hometown girl of Folklore; who will get a boring desk job and never leave home. But then the Sage of the Burrows proclaims her a Dragon Rider and a Fifth Daughter and Smoke's life changes stories - literally. Moving from Folklore to Legend, Smoke is taught that fears can be conquered and villains do have a hunger for power. She also learns she might just have the power this villain is after. She makes friends: Something she didn't know she could do, she finds her dragon: Someone she didn't know even existed, and she learns her past: Something she didn't know was so complicated. But when rebellions begin to break out across the globe; the world of Fantasy is once again put in danger and the Dragon Riders might not be able to save their home this time around. Especially, when the enemy is from one of their own royal families; once thought incinerated, and his accomplice might just be Smoke's long thought dead father. In this first book of the Fifth Daughter Trilogy, J.J. wants you to forget everything you think you know of mythology and open your mind to a new kind of fantasy.

TITLE CHANGE FROM "The Last of the Dragons" Over a thousand years ago, half-human, half-dragon hybrids known as Draca's ruled the world. With luxuries and riches and abilities that mortals yearned for, they were an impenetrable force. They were an empire. But throughout history, even the strongest empires have crumbled to pieces. The Draca's empire was no exception to this. Slain to the very brink of extinction, the dragon hybrids were almost completely wiped out. Almost. Few made it through, continuing the dragon lineage. Some of them birthed new lines of dragons and died off. Some of them still alive from the very dawn of the dragon. And Alyssa Craven was one of them. The largest dragon known and the oldest. The Emerald Queen. Her and her younger sister had slipped through the cracks and had been trying to coexist peacefully in a modern world. Until a war emerges between the last of the dragons, forcing Alyssa to finally arise from the shadows she secluded herself in. And in a war of dragons, the few that are left, become even fewer. War is coming and not even the strongest are safe. A/N: This story is finished but I will be publishing each chapter ONCE a week on Sunday's. This is ADULT FANTASY and contains romance, violence, and adult language. Read at your own risk :)
