Born into nobility but not the throne, Eshe feels trapped by court life. As the handmaiden to the newly-of-age crown princess of Aikate, it is her job to be silent and unseen, the eyes and ears of Queen Xethe's will. She only has a few years before she is finally too old to be courted and can fulfill her dream of traveling the world as a high priestess of Subira. 

However, no matter how carefully she lays plans; fate is one step ahead. When the desert roads bring the young king Damir Wulfnoð from the lands above the mountains, Eshe finds herself entangled in a mess of politics, liars, magic, and fiends.  There is more to the strange, golden-eyed foreigner than meets the eye. With her hand tied to him in a marriage of political convenience, Eshe must uncover his secrets before the entire realm is destroyed.

Rise Of Orthros by AnneMarieLouiseHerd
10 parts Ongoing Mature
In the mystical world of Themdore, where dragons soar through the skies and magic intertwines with the very essence of the land, Aesthra, a formidable female mage and skilled Dragon Rider, stands as a beacon of hope against the encroaching shadows. She rides Ethiopia, a fierce and loyal dragon whose scales shimmer like molten gold, a bond forged through years of struggle and triumph. The tranquility of Azure Peak is shattered when tales of someone summoning the all powerful Skeleton King and his Demon and Skeleton army. As Aesthra delves deeper into her visions, she uncovers a prophecy that hints at the awakening of an ancient Dragon, imprisoned beneath the Ashen Mountains for centuries-a creature of unimaginable power, bound to the sorceress's will. To stop the darkness, Aesthra and the dragon riders must find this Dragon and awaken it to fight against the sorceress, but this mission requires more than just bravery; it demands confronting her innermost fears and the shadows of her past. Accompanied by her fellow Dragon Riders-each bearing their own secrets and struggles-Aesthra embarks on a perilous journey through haunted forests where the trees whisper forgotten names, across treacherous mountains cloaked in mist, and into the heart of the sorceress's lair, a fortress of despair that warps reality itself. Along the way, they encounter twisted creatures willing to do the sorceress's bidding, and Aesthra must navigate betrayals within her own ranks, as not all her comrades are content to fight for the light. As the final confrontation looms, Aesthra grapples with her destiny: will she embrace the darkness within herself to combat the sorceress, or will she risk losing everything she holds dear in the pursuit of a greater good? With Kaelith by her side, she must choose whether to awaken the ancient Dragon and unleash its fury, or to forge a path that could lead to a new kind of magic-one that balances light and dark within her soul.
