The HUNGER GAMES meets DUNGEONS & DRAGONS for a battle royale between mortals and monsters.

----

There's a monster in the high mountains of Hastone, one that must be slaughtered. 

Every year the ruler of the lands, King Darren, holds a test for the best fighters to compete in. A test where these warriors must battle the monster's children, the dragon beasts. Many of them die fighting, but it's to prove who is eligible to slay the mighty monster. 

Ladrel and her neighbor Eadward are just two of the "entrants" this year competing. 

They're fighting to survive, not knowing their fate in the locked-up forest. The beasts are out and ready to kill in Darren's Game.

Talos and Cyrus by Kierstyn515

War is coming... yet no one knows. The Deplorable festers in his anger, his rage newly ignited as one of his own suddenly betrays him, rocking him to his core. He seethes alone, waiting... For five hundred years, dragons and men have been isolated from each other, becoming mortal enemies after a bloody war tore apart their once peaceful alliance. They have spoken ill of each other ever since, the tales of their momentous battle warped by storytellers for generation upon generation. Cyrus leaves behind everything he's ever known, his family, his home, his village. He ventures out on his own with nothing more than a mangy old pack mule at his side. He dreams of wealth and riches, of stability and endless feasts, and he hopes to find work as he ventures out into the wilds of Crasmere. However, his plans take an abrupt turn when he is ambushed by monsters only found in one's deepest nightmares and, when he feels all hope is lost... something saves him. A creature no one has seen in five centuries. A creature many have presumed to have died long ago, gone extinct and wiped from the land all together. A creature said to thirst for blood and raw flesh, a beast with a roar to deafen all. A dragon.

Bladed Cross: An End Before The End Times: book 1 by GreatOldOne26

There are the beating of wings, in the moonlit sky that tell a bleak and disturbing tale. The powerful Bladed Cross was stolen, on the cursed earth, where evil rules, merciless, and determined. Now, catastrophic events unfold under the nose of a near future society, when Owen Collins and the people he loves are thrown into a blood soaked conflict fate had tied them to since the events of the Biblical Testaments. A terrible, demonic force seeks to bring about the End of Days before the Comings of Christ. A force that no mortal could predict, no prophet had written of. A secret rebellion struggles to fight against the creature's sadistic wrath. And Yahweh's plan to prevent the extinction of his Children is more than just the inspiring leadership of a broken hero. Long ago, an Angel, from the Order of The Ninefold, gave birth to a child of their own. From that child, came her own offspring, seized by the Holy, and the Fallen alike. A power to be ripped from the Fallen. A quest to reclaim the pieces of the key, the key that is the Bladed Cross. To end a war meant to abolish faith, life and love. A war that drew our blood and very tears. Oh, Lord, give rise to the Guardians, to the broken who suffered this evil! The roaring of the dragons fills us with your Holy fire! Owen Collins, Sheriff of Red Leaf. His trusted, fearsome friend, Ted Walker. His ever gentle spouse, Chloe Collins. Molly Dillion, the fiercest of the Rebels. And Eli Griffin, the Failed Son! And many others whom the beating of wings would guide. Those who's love kills just as easily as hate. Death and cruelty are no strangers to the hearts of those who seek to protect God's Children from corruption.

Damsel Knight by samaustinwriter

Sometimes the best knight is a damsel. In a world where women are seen as weak, defenceless creatures for men to protect and own, one orphan girl wants to be different. She dreams of being a knight. Slaying dragons, taking down armies with her father's sword. Only her foster parents don't agree with her views. On the night of her betrothal to a man over twice her age, the King's soldiers come to their tiny village, and in the chaotic aftermath she's left with a choice. Go back to life she knows and marry a man she despises. Or journey onward and risk death to earn the knighthood she dreams of. The road forward isn't a safe one for a girl travelling with only her foster brother as company. Magic lurks in dark places. Vengeance burrows deep in many equally dark hearts. And all around the circle armies are gathering to defend the Kingdom against a threat not seen for a thousand years. This is the first part of the 140 thousand word fantasy adventure.

The Child of Cataclysm by TheDialect

Martier and his dragon, Skirin, have built a lasting friendship over the years that the Children of Cataclam has hunted them. They have fought together and laughed together, and Martier has sworn an oath to protect Skirin. No matter what. But then one day, Martier meets two soldiers from the Furghon Empire tasked with exterminating the Children. Martier agrees to go with them to their home, where he and Skirin can hopefully find a place where they belong, not knowing that is where their destiny awaits. Old memories are rekindled, and new friendships are forged on this journey of a child finding his way home. ----- This is an original novella. While the concept of a particular part of this story has been inspired by another source, I am the sole owner of all the material presented here. Any similarities in name are coincidental. I should also mention that this is a novella, meaning it is quite short (10 chapters to be precise). This means there WILL be fast areas as I try to fit all of the necessary stuff in while maintaining a proper flow. Anyways, hope you enjoy! (Cover made by me)

Pressure continues to soar as the war continues to drive all the dragon species towards extinction, including her siblings.

The 94th Hunger Games- Fight To The death by SalemMichelle

Hello. I'm a Tribute in the Hunger Games. I'm going to tell you the story of the times I had to fight to keep alive, and how I lost the man I loved to a violent death at the hands of a beastly woman in the Arena. We only had a short amount of time together, but it was truly a god sent gift. I gained a beautiful child, born from the blood of fallen allies. I'm a Tribute in the 94th games, one of the most bizarre and longest games on record. Let me tell you how I survived these hellish games and returned to my mother, with my little child wrapped safely in my arms.

Flaming Eclipse by tupsu_tassu

After King Blade Fang's death, Eclipse Moon has been planning on conquering the throne, but there are dragons who try to stop her. At the same time, a dragon called Rustle is doing his best to give his siblings the best chance at surviving the lethal surroundings of the Kals' desert. (This is a sequel to another novel I wrote; Flaming Frostbite I suggest you go read it before this, so you can get the hang of everything that's happening :D) (Also, this story is heavily inspired by the books Wing of Fire, not any same dragon breeds but the fact dragons can literally build structures and have a working economy n stuff :D)
