The best revenge is worth waiting for. Even if it takes five hundred years…
Brand Astarot is patiently biding his time for a chance to take vengeance on the King of the Gold Dragon Clan. To unleash the rage that he lives with, the grief for his slaughtered family.
Already he can taste the blood, the smoke. The fury.
Until then, Brand remains a rogue dragon shifter, bound to no one but himself. And with the chance to ally himself with a new clan, he’s tracking down a woman who could shift the balance in the world of the dragons.
Only no one told him exactly what or who Kasia Amon is, or that she’s coveted by those who would use her for their own purposes.
Unpredictable and dangerously lethal, Kasia will not be used by anyone – especially the mercenary dragon shifter who calms the inferno raging inside her.
But nothing will stop a dragon who wants to be king…or a rogue who’s out for revenge.

Young Adult: Talon by Julie Kagawa
In this groundbreaking modern fantasy series, dragons walk among us in human form.
“There are a dozen ‘St. George’ soldiers hiding in that maze,” my trainer said. “All hunting you. All looking to kill you. Welcome to phase two of your training, hatchling.”
Long ago, dragons were hunted to near extinction by the Order of St. George, a legendary society of dragonslayers. Hiding in human form and growing their numbers in secret, the dragons of Talon have become strong and cunning, and they’re positioned to take over the world with humans none the wiser.
Ember and Dante Hill are the only sister and brother known to dragonkind. Trained to infiltrate society, Ember wants to live the teen experience and enjoy a summer of freedom before taking her destined place in Talon. But destiny is a matter of perspective, and a rogue dragon will soon challenge everything Ember has been taught. As Ember struggles to accept her future, she and her brother are hunted by the Order of St. George.
Soldier Garret Xavier Sebastian has a mission to seek and destroy all dragons, and Talon’s newest recruits in particular. But he cannot kill unless he is certain he has found his prey — and nothing is certain about Ember Hill. Faced with Ember’s bravery, confidence and all-too-human desires, Garret begins to question everything that the Order has ingrained in him — and what he might be willing to give up to find the truth about dragons.
Romantasy: A Fire In The Sky by Sophie Jordan
Dragons are extinct. Witches are outcast. Magic is dying. But human lust for power is immortal.
Dragon fire no longer blisters the skies over Penterra, but inside the lavish palace, life is still perilous – especially for Tamsyn. Raised in the glittering court alongside the princesses, it’s her duty to be punished for their misdeeds. Treated as part of the royal family but also as the lowliest servant, Tamsyn fits nowhere. So when she is tasked with the ultimate sacrifice of pretending to be one of the true royal princesses and marry Fell, the Beast of the Borderlands, son to the great dragon slayer, Tamsyn accepts her fate even if it means tricking the deadly warrior.
The wedding night begins with unexpected passion, but ends in near violence when her trickery is exposed. Rather than start a war, Fell accepts Tamsyn as his bride … but Tamsyn isn’t what she seems. She harbours dark secrets, secrets buried so deep even she doesn’t know they exist.
For Tamsyn is more than the false wife of a man who now sees her as his enemy. And when those secrets emerge, they will ignite a flame bright enough to burn the entire kingdom to the bone.
Magic is not dead … it is only sleeping. And it will take one ordinary girl with an extraordinary destiny to awaken it.

The Dragon King is looking for a wife…
The news causes a frenzy for the women in my village. The king will be sending out the royal guard to bring women of childbearing age to his castle in Jade City.
There is only one requirement: his wife-to-be must carry enough magic to produce an heir for him.
I know I won’t be chosen: I’m only human with a mere ten percent dragon magic lineage, but for some reason the magic sniffers command me to present myself to the king as a possible wife.
I’m ready to go to Jade City until my mother tells me a terrifying secret. A secret that could get me killed… by the king himself.
