In another world and another time, a simple woman escapes the torture of her husband to find her origins, but such a treacherous journey is not without its own challenges.
The first of many hurdles for Lillian is getting to the magical territory which she assumes to be claimed by the ruthless enemy, and the gruesome beast who dominates spooky tales, awaits in the form of a handsome young wizard, well groomed yet untamed, battling his own demons. Can Byron Black accept the light that Lillian brings? Will he reveal those truths that she so desperately seeks?
Shamara, along with the world around it, depends on hearts mending to fulfil destinies; only together will the lonely souls achieve greatness...
But, is a written future too heavy of a burden to bear? After all, it may be too late for those stubborn minds, leaving Lillian and Byron condemned to their eternal punishment.

'She could become their savour - or their destruction.'
Rumours surrounding the untamed might of a young fire dragon are spreading across the continent of Ballasmara like wildfire. The seemingly limitless flames drive a variety of leaders towards the juvenile dragon to use as a weapon to gain an edge over the enemy after generations of fighting.
Ember's fire doesn't stop growing in power and poses a threat for the very dragon that it lives inside, but external forces are also at work which will change her forever. Pressure continues to soar as the war continues to drive all the dragon species towards extinction, including her siblings.
As three sides struggle to gain the dragoness' support; consequences of whatever choice she makes will ripple throughout her life and world. But she must choose, or outside forces may choose for her if she doesn't.
The deities are watching - when they aren't arguing.
