"And the fifth Rider is . . ."

*

Princess Ashlyn Rehlia of Nightshorne wants escape.

Since the assassination of her father six years ago, she's been her mother's slave, barred from the outside world. But this year, she plans to change that by attending the Selecting, the ceremony that chooses the kingdom's newest dragon-riders-in-training. The only problem: her mother refuses to let her attend, forcing Ash to think of a creative solution.

When Ash finally escapes her mother, she is offered the chance of a lifetime, a chance she can't possibly ignore. But when secrets arise, identities are revealed, and the very nature of the world hangs in the balance, Ash finds herself right in the middle of it all, the deciding factor in an equation she doesn't fully understand.

For star's sake, she just wanted a simple life. How hard could it be?

But shadows are deceiving and as she runs into tangled webs of lies, passion, and blood, Onyx realizes that her closest allies might be her greatest threats and those who swore their loyalty to her might be the ones to spill her blood on the streets.

But there's the Gateway. With her seventeenth birthday approaching, she could go to the other world without her parents weighing her down. She could explore and learn more about herself in this other world, and a world full of promise.

Even when the universe dares to tear them apart with the approaching doom, will Ash fight for the one she loves? After all, she's a Galathynius and a Whitethorn.

Forsaken by the one person who was supposed to love her unconditionally, Red must brave the magic and monsters of the Wylds to find her true place in the world. ***** Plagued by a weak heart, Red is an outcast in the Blood Moon Pack, a tribe of savage wolf-shifters held together by two things: their fanatic worship of the Night Goddess, and the ashwood walls that keep the real monsters out. Everybody must pull their weight. Only the strong are permitted to survive... Hunter Callahan, son of the Blood Moon Alpha, is counted among the strongest. Only Red seems to sense the vulnerability lurking behind his arrogant mask. Only she can understand the compassion underlying his violence; the boy who took a beating as a child to spare a butterfly from having its wings clipped. She saw herself in that butterfly. She sees herself in him. And he can barely stand to look at her. ***** [65-70k words] Best Ranks: 13th in #Werewolf 1st in #paranormalromance, #quest, #goddess and #dragon 2nd in #magic Featured on the 2021 Wattys Shortlist.

A Fifth Daughter [Book 1: The Dragon Rider] by JJHays

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.

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***

A kingdom across the sea, a man in pain clawing at a hated king who bears two shadows who protect him. A child, born from a mother with the powers of the Gods, screaming at a blood-soaked bed. A boy, a Prince, kind and full of the flame of life, sitting beneath a moon bug lit sky. Darkness enfolds the lands, its grasp claiming the continent and making its way from an already broken island, only to be stopped by the hands of fate. The hands of the girl and the Prince, and their love for the people in need of protection. This is their prophecy. This is their destiny and their fate depends on it. The Elemental rulers and their family are just beginning to find allies from unlikely and unimaginative places while creatures of myth and legend resurface from their campfire tales, and things aren't going as planned, so they'll have to find myths and legends of their own. Shouldn't be too hard. #6 - #strong-heroine #41 - #banter **Average Word Count Per Chapter: 8,000 **Edited (x2) LET ME KNOW IF YOU SPOT GRAMMAR ISSUES! *****Last Edited: 12/14/2024 NOTE FROM ME! - I very much model my works to resemble published examples, so there are no notes in any chapters from me, trigger warnings for chapters, etc. Just the world my brain likes to escape to every now and then.

When a rare dragon egg was stolen from the sacred Cave of Noelle, the dragons' immense power vanished along with the hope of a mass dragon army. And over the past few years, the amount of Dragon Riders has fallen. Few men have been chosen to mount the fierce yet magnificent winged creatures and sail through the sky. In the history of Dragon Riders, the priests have only written down men. Women have never been chosen as a Dragon Rider, but all that changes when a prophetic dream starts to visit Abagail in her sleep. Armed with her father's bow and arrow, Abagail leaves her home. And it isn't long before she learns what it meant to be the only woman Dragon Rider while discovering the evil behind the one person closest to her heart - poised to strike terror and darkness in the people of Athena.
