    Ah, but we’ve already got ahead of ourselves…Miss Mildred Percy is a spinster. She does not dance, she has long stopped dreaming, and she certainly does not have adventures. That is, until her great uncle has the audacity to leave her an inheritance, one that includes a dragon’s egg.

    After swearing not to bind herself to the saddle, Chenna leaves her beloved forest behind and sets off for a destination known only to the dragon. Along the way, they cross paths with a band of dragon riders who are not what they seem, and Chenna finds herself the hunted instead of the hunter.As their route takes her farther from home and closer to the heart of danger, Chenna teams up with a wounded young man and former dragon rider to help her fulfill a promise. But with a band of rogues behind her, the Queen’s horde ahead of her, and a dragon driven to carry her to the edge of the world she knows, Chenna must take all the skills of a life in the forest and apply them to the sky, only to find that any promise worth keeping will require sacrifice.

    But this reality will soon shatter. For among the cursed ashes of Solevar, a Seer has been found.Eirin, the king's favored warrior-in-training, is going to fail her combat test. She knows this, as does everyone around her. This comes as no surprise, though. Eirin never understood why the king chose to train her alongside the Walled City's most promising fighters. She's always been too slow, too weak, never enough for what a true Sgaeth is meant to be. And now that it's nearly over, she dreams only of returning to the home where she's loved and she belongs.For years, Drystan, the king's Heir, chosen for his strength and prowess in combat, has watched Eirin fight only to fall again and again. And though he's only the king's Heir, his patience with the situation grows thin. Anyone can see that Eirin was never meant to be a Sgaeth, but the king refuses to listen. As if his worry over Eirin's safety isn't enough, the ever-present pain in Drystan's chest is reaching nearly crippling levels. If he can't get it under control, his suffering will soon begin to affect those he should be keeping safe.Both Eirin and Drystan's plans and ambitions are brought to a halt, however, when just before Eirin's combat trial, the Walled City is attacked by an army of monstrous shifters. And Eirin and Drystan hear a word uttered that changes the course of the battle and their lives.Seer.Upon hearing mention of this word, the king sends Eirin, Drystan, and a small party of companions out of the Walled City, out of the mountain, into the ancient, dying land of Solevar. There, he promises, they will find the answers they've been seeking. But no matter what happens, Drystan must protect Eirin at all costs. The Walled City's survival depends on it.As they make their way into the dangerous world of the Atharrach shifters, far from the safety of their city's walls, Drystan and Eirin begin to see that perhaps the world is not exactly as they've been told. Even more importantly, though, they learn world-altering secrets about their own selves. And if they can't learn to embrace their true natures...and trust one another along the way, the world as they know it might fall.

    Did you ever wonder why? Erebu and Sorin fought through countless lifetimes of trials and tribulations to find one another again. They even conquered death.

On the bright side, he doesn’t have to perform miracles alone. Sorin will be right there with him.

Location: Unknown. Time travel will be required.Clues: Too few. But there may be a dragon-slayer, a king, a wizard, and a few mythical monsters along the way.Accompaniments: His beloved Sorin (who is all he needs!) A humorless, anti-social female dragon (who he doesn’t need). Though her kickass fighting skills do come in handy in a pinch.Timing: ASAP. Determined by an arbitrary Sandglass in the Jade Emperor’s possession.The end of the world may be just around the corner. Along the way, enemies may become lovers, reluctant friendships may form, and lots of hot, desperate, this-may-be-the-last-time-we-have-sex sex will definitely be had. And who knows, you may never want to wake up from this… DREAM OF DRAGONS. *First in the Dragon Tails series***Spin-off from the Pure/ Dark Ones series**https://www.goodreads.com/series/8550...
