"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?

The truth hidden behind the moon's shadow was not easy to unveil. Now the fight for freedom will be all blood and bones. War is brewing on the edge of the horizon and kingdoms will fall at the tip of her blade. *** Onyx Ashrevion is a demi-hybrid and Alesandria Erovex is the lost hybrid queen of the fallen kingdom, Crojesian. After discovering the deadly secrets that have been hidden inside their own bodies for years, Onyx and Alesandria reside themselves in the quiet comfort of the desert, in hopes that with training and compulsion, their lives will return back to normal.

Abandoning Rheynoak and his tribe, she runs away with Alesandria and is pulled into Elsavior, Realm of the Dwellers. Their leader? The Emperor of NighShadows, Draco Vaolcris himself. Sucked into a world of beauty and deceitfulness, she and Alesandria team up with Draco and his court in order to stop the appending war that has been brewing between The Inner Circle and the Desert Tribes for years. 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 is a greater threat lying on the outskirt walls of the Inner Circle, an ancient, dormant curse that has been awakened. And it's thirsty for blood and revenge. Torn between her heart and her destiny, Onyx has to decide who to trust and who to kill in a damning mission to stop evil from arising before her world and her heart is shattered into pieces.

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***

In an attempt to drown her sorrows and flee from the looming expectations of helping to lead a war against the demons that threaten their world, Ixis is injured through mysterious circumstances. Forced to return home, the last thing she expects to find is the assassin she couldn't kill pleading for her help. ........ Rider wasn't much of an assassin. Burdened by her past, her curse, and the trauma of what the Throneholder of Opalis did to her, she fully expected the reunion with her old flame to go exactly the way she planned. But when Rider has no choice but to flee her quest for answers, the last person she expected to help her was Ixis: Lady Aria's new Regent. Once they were allies. Now they are enemies. But despite their differing loyalties, they are forced to learn a little more about the circumstances and choices that slowly change everything they thought they knew about each other. Especially when Ixis' Fire Trait begins to heal and for the first time in years, Rider's curse decides to let her. When their begrudging respect unravels into more than just a friendship, they both must choose whether duty or revenge is more important than the love that grows between them. But the demons wait for no one.
