Her memory was taken. 
Her skills were not.
Her very presence is a threat to 
everything he has ever cared for.
They might make 
a powerful team... 
if they don't kill
each other first.

Once upon a time...

In a land where the most powerful can be killed by water, the elite are protected by shape-shifting dragons, and the world is divided into two continents of chaos and false order, a strange girl wakes with broken ribs, three bullet holes in her chest, and a wiped memory, on the front lawn of a manor belonging to an Emperor whose reign is nearing its end.

With no knowledge of who she is, the girl is determined to find answers. But everyone is either tightlipped or seemingly afraid of her very existence. 

When an unknown traitor attempts to assassinate the Emperor right under everyone's noses, the girl finds herself thrown into a world of monsters, magic, peril, and responsibility. 

But one mistake with the Emperor's formidable Guardian could destroy everything.

The Poison Prince by grimalkim

Not all poison comes in a bottle. Not all dragons breathe fire. After the death of Queen Ilia, the King of Lyris married again to keep the peace. His new queen, not a match for her predecessor, soon became a tyrannous monarch hellbent on causing pain for those who did not accept her. One of those was her step-son, the Prince Taiden, who would one day rule the kingdom. Considered mad by those around him, Taiden is believed to have been consumed by grief, but the young prince has spent ten years playing a very dangerous game; a game of poison and secrets to keep the Kingdom his mother adored, safe. On the outskirts of Lyris is an outcast; a young girl with scales on her neck and a dagger in her belt. Xylia is a hunter who is watching the last of her people succumb to a death no one can stop. With fire in her veins, her encounter with Prince Taiden leaves her wanting blood, and answers. Will the Kingdom of Lyris fall at the hands of Queen Devanna, or can a Poison Prince and a girl descended from beasts save it?

Burning Hope by Kiera_Savage

[COMPLETED] 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?

The Zero Hour | #Wattys2016 by xtoverus

The world as we know it is controlled by Nobles - powerful wizards that have power over everything. It is the age of ice; a time of ages past, lost in our historical records and unbeknownst to the world today. The commoners who don't wield magic live under their thrall as slaves, doing everything humanly possible to avoid earning their wrath. A single misstep could spell torture or death. One morning, a commoner accidentally takes matters into his own hands by standing up against a prominent Noble's son. The ensuing altercation enrages the boy's father Malevolent Drake, who delivers an ultimatum: A hundred commoners are to die in three days to restore his house's honor, or the elimination of the entire commoner camp. Faced with that reality, the leader of the camp hatches a plot to bring in outside help to combat the Noble army. With time running short, nobody really knows if the plan will even work - given the fact that the Nobles themselves have a few tricks up their sleeves as well. Tricks that could spell doom for everyone involved... * Highest ranked #63 in Adventure (Apr'16) & #708 in Fantasy (May'16). Updates every Tuesday & Friday :)

Blaze always thought he was just a fox shifter runt he couldn't understand why everyone wanted him dead though he was certain it had something to do with his ears and tail. He was home schooled for a long time but now aged 15 he will be going to school for the first time and with his shift imminent things are about to get hairy. He will meet many new friends, one more than friend and make a whole lot of enemies. ATTENTION! This story has a bxb relationship but mostly nearer the end so if your not a big convoluted plot person its probably not the story for you. At highest point ranked #117 in fantasy
