L.M. Lacee - 2018

The Dragon Lord watched as the little one went from cat to human to cat. “Come kitten, come to Reighn.” She shifted back to human and stuck her fist into her mouth, tears ran down her reddened cheeks, his deep soft voice stilled her movements. “Come here little hatchling, I won’t hurt you, all will be well, come on kitten, come to Reighn.” “WHERE... IS... MY... DAUGHTER?” Sage demanded before the great doors made from the hardest iron wood that had withheld marauding armies with battering rams, blew apart like kindling. Reighn, the Dragon Lord has at last found his soul shadow, an improbability a half witch half wolf, Reighn grinned. “Good I am dragon, my heart, we live for improbabilities. “I have lived a thousand years and thought to never have a shadow or hatchling, so I and my dragon are beyond pleased, we are forever in your debt and honored to be yours.” Sage, saw the hole, saw the never ending abyss and still she jumped feet first into love as a shifter, instinct drove her mating or at least the willingness to chance a mating, her witch side recognized power and felt the draw of spirits as they met, melded and entwined forever to be bonded together throughout eternity. Reighn states his ultimatum to the stubbon Dragon Kind. * I am your Lord. * The Lord of all Dragons! * That has not changed. * I have already said this once this week but it bears repeating. * THIS IS NOT A DEMOCRACY! * You have no voice here. * You have no rights here. * The only voice that matters is mine! * The only rights you have are the ones I allow you. * As of now I have removed all your privileges. * You will comply or you will be banished. * There is no other option. “You have twenty four hours to decide. If in that time you have not sworn fealty to me and the dragon nation I will decide for you. Make no mistake, this is going to happen. With or without you. Now I suggest you go home and make your decisions. Dismissed” A shifter dressed in jeans and a long sleeved shirt open to the waist showing a well muscled chest and six pack with dark unwashed hair squatted on the deck of a mansion or what had been one once. He looked at John from eyes gone dark, his beast riding just under the surface of his skin, his voice, when he spoke, was low and guttural. “What do you want here dragon?” “I come to find the uncle to our Dragon Lord’s mate, Sage, witch, shifter, half breed.” “I am he, what do you want of me?” “I want you to call your bitch of a niece here, so I may end this once and for all.’ Robard laughed deeply and just a shade of insanity seeped through. “You think to use me for your own purposes against my own kin?” he laughed harder and rose to his great height as four shifters entered the yard. “Behold what is left of my pack, ask the Alpha whore and her bitches if they will help you, I will not!"

New World. In the 21st century, little remains of magick save scattered, beleaguered pockets of magickal community and scholarship - and a vast, but rapidly decaying, heritage. How can any of it survive the pace of modern life? As an agent of the Society for Magickal Heritage, Cordelia “Ves” Vesper has an important job: to track down and rescue endangered magickal creatures, artefacts, books and spells wherever they are to be found. It’s a duty that takes her the length and breadth of Britain, and frequently gets her into trouble. But somebody’s got to keep magick alive in the modern world, and Ves is more than equal to the job. In this first adventure, Ves meets her new partner, the Waymaster Jay. Their mission? Find the source of a magickal disease that’s decimating Britain’s troll enclaves - and fix it. Simple in theory, tricky in practice, for the only place that might hold the information they need is the ancient and inconveniently lost enclave of Farringale... From the author of The Malykant Mysteries: The Road to Farringale is episode one of the contemporary fantasy web serial, Modern Magick.
Witch's Shadow
Emma L. Adams - 2018
I'm Jas Lyons, and as far as anyone knows, I'm nothing more than a novice necromancer who banishes the dead for a living. I might be the last surviving member of the notorious Hemlock Coven, but I've never been able to cast a spell in my life. Being a nobody is safer. At least until a near-death experience causes me to find out that before the last Hemlock witch died, her spirit was bound to mine. If I want to survive the horde of enemies hunting me down, I need to learn to use her magic, but the spirit has no interest in sharing. Worse, binding two spirits together is forbidden by the supernatural council, on pain of (permanent) death. To get my own life back, I'm forced to put my trust in a dangerous vampire with a grudge against the Hemlock witches for reasons he refuses to divulge. Someone in Edinburgh is meddling in dangerous magic, and if I don't get to the bottom of it, I'll have much worse to worry about than a few rogue spirits…
