━━━━・✦・━━━━

HOUSE OF THE DRAGON and WINGS OF FIRE meets the ODYSSEY.

Hesperion Aleunor can feel the spectators' eyes on his scales when the moon rises over the sea waves. Starlight mocks him each night, knowing that he would never wake up in the same nest when dawn breaks. All it took was one incorrigible error for him to turn into a toy for celestial beings, into a vagabond bearing a peculiar curse. 

When discord erupts in the heavens above, an escape opens before him in the form of a dangerous wager, one that could cost him his life. As he fights against his curse for his freedom, a desperate Hesperion finds his fate deeply intertwined with his homeworld's. 

All the world's an arena and the heavens are waiting, breathless. What would it take for one dragon to outlast his curse?

Fate and Destiny (The Fated Series, #2) by _Hiraeth_Author_

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.

God-Child-Soldier by aesthenisia

Jacaerys Velaryon knows his life will end one of two ways: on a throne or nameless in a traitor's grave. He knows his mother's will end the same way. A prince's duty is to protect his queen. Alder Tierney is an estranged daughter of the North, a smallfolk with a secret larger than a dragon. She has the blood of the forest in her, the touch of the Old Gods. And she longs for more than her life. All stories begin somewhere. This is the story of a prince who falls from his dragon, finds his mother a sworn shield, and somehow (possibly) stops a war.

Forgotten Legends (DRAFT VERSION) by KatWingfree

"The Prophecy may say you are a hero, but you'll never be what the universe needs to survive." Cloud Star has always known he was different. From the day he exploded from his egg with the curse of sapphire-colored scales, to the day the ghosts in his head told him why he had to be kept a secret from the rest of the world, until now; nineteen years later; when he must remain hidden to prevent a firey end to the nine Realms of Dragnaple, he had never doubted he had power, even if he had never felt it (or, let's be honest, seen it). But what he hadn't suspected was just how much a dragon of his rarity was worth--and what some would do to secure him for their own selfish desires. But when Cloud is given the chance to leave his home and everything he's known behind to go out into the world and become the hero the Realms so desperately need, he will have to make a choice: Stay where he knows he will be safe--and watch the Realms tear each other apart... ...or break free of the expectations of his kind and become a hero that the universe could never have predicted.

The Blood of Darkness by annabelwritess

"𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙣 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙨 𝙛𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙫𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙨, 𝙜𝙞𝙧𝙡. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙬𝙖𝙧, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙙𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝘿𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨." Valerie Tenebris is not human. She never was, and never will be. She is a monster, a nightmare, a killer, who dreams of an ancient battlefield and a different, brutal world where stars fall and dark blood stains the earth. Kye Merran is an Ember, one who wields fire magic. When a childhood friend shows up at his house with a strange girl who is bleeding black blood, he knows that he's getting into something he definitely shouldn't. Especially when the Dark King of Rurik, who may have much more to him than it seems, is looking to conquer another kingdom or two, preferably with a powerful, dark queen at his side. But Kye can't seem to stay away from the mysterious girl with the blood of Darkness. And Val can't stay away from Kye either, no matter how much she claims that she hates him. As Val, Kye, and their friends race to stop the Dark King and his approaching army, what they don't realize is that they are playing a part in an ancient, deadly game, a game between the light and the dark, one years in the making. But it is a game which neither of them can win, for their fates have already been determined by the desperate Gods, written in blood among the stars.

ENTANGLED (#2 The Valkyries) by MGHicks_reloaded

To save the Valkyrie who broke his heart, the Fae Sea God makes a deal with the Demon Prince of the Aerial Kingdoms, but Pazuzu has a history of stealing the women Manannan loves. *** When Mist visits her parents' home in California, she assumes the worst she'll deal with is their narcissist tendencies and shallow lifestyle. They've never seen eye-to-eye on her decision to become a Valkyrie. Still, it gives her somewhere to lick her wounds after Manannan's betrayal pierced her heart. But the oceanside home isn't the haven she'd hoped when recent enemies decide on payback. They didn't count on her catching the eye of Pazuzu, the Dragon Demon Prince of the Aerial Kingdoms, when they stranded her on Muspelheim. Manannan Mac Lir is conflicted. The cold shoulder from Mist has him seeking answers. When the Valkyrie he can't forget turns up missing, more than his heart is in danger. How much is he willing to risk when she has already burned him once? Is it worth dealing with that smooth-talking dragon that stole his wife's love, then failed to protect her a few thousand years ago? Surely history won't repeat itself.

Elvirund | ✔️ by actuallyElliot

*Featured on Fantasy's Dark Fantasy reading list!* ► Book One of the Wings Trilogy This is, by no means, a story for those light of heart. This is also, unfortunately, a true story. I am a doctor with wings, one who doesn't belong here. I know, stereotypical. But it's true. Still confused? I used to be an angel. I caused the apocalypse of the planet inhabited by the very creatures I was supposed to help. It was the only way to help them, really. But that's a different story for a different day. Now, the surviving humans have emerged from the rubble, soaking in the damage left over from my destructive actions. What are they supposed to do about that? I have been cast upon earth, given the task of taking care of them and healing them. I suppose I have to clean up after myself. I doubt, however, that I have any chance of returning home to Elvirund. Or, as the humans call it, Heaven. You see, all of them are wounded. And the Elders are coming after me. ---------------------------------------------------- Rated Mature for: infrequent/mild cursing, mild graphic content Beautiful cover thanks to @leaving_forever Started: Jul 17, 2016 Ended: May 14, 2017

Prince Envy thinks he has been, supposedly, 'blessed' by an animus dragon when he was just an egg. He has the ability to turn 'berserk', a form where he increases his size four times larger than the average dragon... some kind of super-soldier, with other powers that are not common in Pyrrhian dragons.. this HAS to be some kind of animus magic at work. But all goes wrong when he accidentally reveals his abilities, and his power-hungry family attempts to use Envy for their own bidding. Seeing the destruction of his family before him, once Envy escapes the claws of the NightWings, he tries to get the Gem of Tyranny before the seven tribes of Pyrrhia ultimately destroy him and each other for it. In the process, he learns how it truly feels to be in a game of thrones. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cover art was made by SassyTurtle (me). Art in chapters made by SassyTurtle (me).
