Dragon's Blood: A Dystopian Fantasy Audiobook

After discovering she’s half dragon, Rowan figures it can’t be any worse than being related to the Celts. That’s the thing about assumptions, though. They come round and bite you in the ass. The second book in a magic-laced, fast-paced, fantasy trilogy. With dragons. I’d rather fight than study, but I’m stuck poring over dusty scrolls. I promised I’d learn about the dragon part of my magic, but I’m having a hell of a hard time believing there’s some concealed strain of power just waiting for me to kindle it. Meanwhile, my friends the witches are playing fast and loose with remaining hidden. My Celtic kin won’t bother them anymore—at least I don’t think they will. But far worse things rove Earth than the Celtic gods. The Breaking has developed an energy all its own. The longer it runs wild, the harder it will be to contain. Soon, very soon, no magic in the Nine Worlds will be enough to counteract it. Once that happens, the few remaining mortals will go first, but the rest of us won’t be far behind them.

In Inverness for a year on a psychiatry fellowship, Dr. Maggie Hibbins watches an oddly dressed man pick his way out of a thicket. He looks so lost—and so unbelievably, knock-out gorgeous—she takes a chance and stands him a meal. The hard-to-accept truth bashes gaping holes in her equilibrium. He looks odd, sounds odd, acts odd because he’s a refugee from another era. Born of powerful witches, Maggie runs headlong into the myth and magic that are her birthright.

Dragon's Call: Dystopian Urban Fantasy

After her Celtic kin proved too big a bunch of bastards to bother with, Rowan sought solace among witches. The first book in a magic-laced, fast-paced fantasy trilogy. With dragons. After the Breaking, not much was left. I assumed it was a case of magic gone bad-until I discovered my goddess mother had broken the world. She didn't like it that I'd turned my back on the pantheon. My long tenure among witches rubbed salt into the wound. After a confrontation where Mommy Dearest fessed up-and lacked the decency to bat an eyelash about the widespread destruction she'd caused-I was digesting what to do next when a dragon showed up. Yes. A dragon. The beast didn't talk with me or anything, but it flew overhead wreaking havoc on a goblin horde. Witches are old souls with kind hearts, but they're not particularly strong magically, so I was grateful for the help. And suspicious as hell. Why a dragon? Why here and why now? More importantly, why was he-she?-helping me? Part of me didn't want to know, and another part was certain I'd find out anyway.

Feral Ice: Paranormal Fantasy

Scientists don't believe in dragons. Dragons never think much about humans at all. Maybe it's time for their worlds to collide amidst the dangerous beauty of Antarctica. Doctor and biochemist, Erin signed up for six months aboard an Antarctic research ship to escape her stifling surgery practice. Jerked from her cozy cabin, she's dumped in an ice cave by men who assume she's dead. Konstantin and Katya, twins and dragon shifters, have lived miles beneath the polar ice cap for hundreds of years. Other dragons left, but they stuck it out. When several humans-all but two of them dead-end up not far from their lair, the opportunity is too good to pass up. If the lore is to be believed, humans can become dragon shifters. Delighted by a simple solution to their enforced isolation, the dragons lure the humans to their home. Surely, they'll be thrilled by the prospect of becoming magical. Or not. Too bad no one shared the script with the humans. Science be damned, they're horror-struck in the face of fire-breathing dragons. All they want is to escape, but home is thousands of miles away.

Cursed Ice: Paranormal Fantasy

By his own admission, Johan's always been one stubborn bastard. He's wedded to his freedom, and the thought of bonding with a dragon has some pretty serious downsides. If he doesn't sign on to become magical, though, he'll be left behind-also not an acceptable outcome. Distant relatives to dragons, sea-serpents are gaining strength shockingly fast. Breeding farms spring up on distant outposts, spitting out all manner of evil. Banished eons ago by the dragon god, the serpents are making a comeback. As the dragons seek allies, they uncover still more atrocities. Katya, dragon shifter and twin to the dragon prince, thought she wanted Johan as her mate, but he has more rough edges than she counted on. Besides, the serpent problem supersedes everything. She's used to dragons being in charge, but when a serpent almost steals her will, it's quite the wakeup call her magic isn't as potent as she always assumed. Is the age of dragons drawing to a close? If that's true, what will come next?
