What Challenges Do Heroes Face Against Celestial Dragons In Fiction?

The dragons and royals are at war. Dragons have power and the royals want it to cement their rule in their kingdoms. Rather than creating a bond between the two, the royals have been stealing dragon eggs, hoping they will bond with the dragon once it hatches, allowing the royal to become a dragon rider. However, there is a thief among them, someone who is stealing the dragon eggs and returning them to the dragons. Someone who, when found, will be put to death. Princess Skylar is the daughter of King Augustus. Her father has been hunting dragon eggs for years. Unbeknownst to him, Skylar is the thief that he is searching for. She does not agree with stealing dragon eggs from the mothers who make their nests away from the other dragons, making themselves vulnerable to attack. Her betrothed, Prince Kenneth, also supports stealing dragon eggs in the hope of bonding with a dragon and making his kingdom stronger. Ryuki is a dragon rider. He bonded with his dragon, Bynjym, a year ago when he stumbled across him in the wild. The bond between dragon and rider is sacred. Ryuki and other dragon riders believe that it should never be forced. The riders fight against the royals who steal dragon eggs, working to keep them from being able to access the eggs, or fighting to get the eggs back to their dragon mothers. What will happen when Ryuki realizes that Skylar is a royal like no other? Can Skylar keep her secret from her father, continuing to work inside the palace to take the stolen eggs back to their mothers? What will happen when Skylar realizes that her feelings for Ryuki are much stronger than her feelings for Prince Kenneth? Find out in The Dragon Thief.

The world ended the day the shifters revealed themselves. Dragons, wolves and other beasts from legend rose from the ashes of civilization and divided the ruins of the old world into brutal new kingdoms. Humans were spared- but only barely. Stripped of power, pushed into the center territories, and treated as lesser, they became a resource instead of a race. And now they are needed. Seraphina has survived her entire life by being invisible, a shadow, a rumor. Orphaned young, she learned fast that strength meant staying alive -and trust was a luxury she couldn't afford. In a world where humans are bartered and bred to strengthen shifter bloodlines, Seraphina has no intention of becoming anyone's prize. Until the prince of dragons befriends her, dragging her into a world of molten stone, deadly politics and people willing to kill her the knowledge she obtains. To keep her safe, Prince Kaelith takes her to the King's Castle. King Micah, ruler of the Western Skies, is everything that the world fears -merciless, untouchable, and bound by a fate written in fire. Everything that Seraphina has spent her life avoiding. Yet the bond ignites the moment he touches her. Claimed by the most powerful shifter alive, Seraphina's own secret paints an even larger target on her back. As tensions rise between shifter kingdoms and whispers of rebellion spread through the human territories, Seraphina must decide who she is willing to become: a pawn in a broken world, or the queen standing beside the dragon who burn it all down for her. Because fate chose her for a reason. and the world is about to remember what happens when even a dragon falls in love.
