A loving mother telling her daughter about stories of primeval tales, tales of great angels and dragons, of times of war and times of peace, of death and life stretching across the endless sea of sorrows, a million spangled glimmers of hope pierced through the veil, like the eyes of angels in the distant darkness.
The innocent child never knew she would be able to weave a tale of her own.

Catalyst
When Phoebe is woken up by James, the boy she's been crushing on since she can remember, she's surprised to find him in a panic. His sister Kara is missing and he needs Phoebe's help to find her. Following hunches and the wordy clues of an annoying preteen, Phoebe and James discover that Kara has been taken, but she left a message for her brother: Tell Phoebe the truth. James begrudgingly unveils the family secret he's been keeping all his life: he and Kara can "shift" into dragons. Real, winged, magical beasts that have been hunted for hundreds of years! No longer safe, James has no choice but to flee the hunters that took his sister, and Phoebe demands to be brought along. Her gut instinct, which has always been supernaturally accurate, begs her to go, putting her on the path of a wild adventure.

Dragon Bound - The Saga of Flames and Frost
Illara had trained all her life for this moment. She had been chosen - from all eligible women throughout the three kingdoms - to be presented to the dragon. Her noble sacrifice would ensure the safety of her lands for a full year. She glowed with pride at the thought. And any moment now the massive dragon would come soaring over the mountains, his massive strength and awesome power - What was this? Along a rocky pass, moving with the persistence of a love-struck cow, was something metallic. Something shiny. Her heart thundered with panic as the object drew closer and resolved into a shape. For she knew it could ruin everything. It could cause the destruction of all she held dear. It was a knight. * * * Half of all proceeds of the Dragon novelettes benefit battered women's shelters. While this first book is non-explicit, due to the strong sexual content and adult situations in future books, this romantic suspense series is recommended for readers aged 17+. The series is structured for readers to read along as I write them to offer feedback and suggestions on the complex storyline. If you're the style of reader who would prefer to wait until the entire series is finished before you tackle it, that is fine! Simply wait until the series is complete and I'll offer the boxed set. I do that with all of my books. The reason I publish as I write is that I don't write full time and it can sometimes take months for me to finish up a storyline. There are readers who don't want to wait - who would rather read along as I go and stay engaged in the process. That way they can provide feedback and suggestions on the storyline. Whichever way works well for you, I provide an option. I'd love to hear from you at my website at OpheliaSikes.com.Complete

Mist started surrounding me and with horror I saw the colour of the river changing to red. Moving closer, I realised it wasn't colour, it was blood. Swiftly, I tried to make my way to the Castle but the forest was endless and I was somehow, powerless. So I ran, with everything I had. On reaching the gates of the Castel, all I could see were remains of soldiers and some students. And a lone figure standing amidst all this, back facing towards me. A shiver ran down my spin. The mist had now covered the forest completely and was covering on the Castel. Suddenly the figure vanished, I looked around in an attempt to spot it back but all in vain. Just as I was about to give up, goosebumps ran on the back of my neck. Before I could turn, my hands were pinned to my back in a vice grip.
