Dragonrider Academy is a secret society I’m not even supposed to know exists. It has knights with talking swords, professors who breathe fire, and a hot guy named Killian who seriously gets on my nerves. It’s his fault I’m stuck here in the first place. He wants me to be his partner and face all the challenges Dragonrider Academy has to offer. He says we’re fated to be together, that I was the one who called him! Crazy talk. Or is it?

Born and raised in the Dregs, the last thing I expected was the “honor” of being recruited to Crown Princess Academy. And by honor, I mean fighting for my life against the fae that rule our world. Our first exam is in three weeks, and not every student will make it out alive...don’t these bimbos realize that? I’m not fooled. I know how ruthless the fae can be. All the princess initiates are captivated by Lucas, the sexy fae crown prince who, in turn, seems fixated on me. He can’t know that I’m actually the most powerful Malice Caster in the Dregs.

I did it. I faced my worst fears and found justice for my father's murder. The Avalon's Queen is gone, but her influence remains. She put in a safeguard in the event of her demise. Each Lost Dragon Queen is slowly becoming corrupted. The unhatched eggs are too fragile, too innocent to know how to fend off the Avalon's Queen's lasting influence.

Never trust a jock. That was my first mistake. When Max Green invited me to a night party on the beach, I should have known better. The Resorties are rich kids who can’t see past their own cruelty. When Max and his friends trap me in the water, the only way for me to go is down. It would have been an ironic death, given that my father drowned in the very same waters. But that’s not what happened. Instead my entire world changed when the Lady of the Lake took me to a new realm, one that had been hidden from me my entire life.

It’s funny how everything can change in an instant. I went from being an invisible wallflower with no friends, no dreams, and no future to being thrust into a world of dragons and magic. I’ve bonded with Killian, my sexy-as-sin partner and my dragon rider mentor, who has been in this world all his life. Together, we will raise our dragons into adulthood and protect the realms from evil.

Good news: Solstice is alive! Bad news: Dragonrider Academy is under siege by wild dragons. Solstice has been on a journey of his own trying to find me in this realm. I’ll have to get the story out of him one day of how he managed to survive long enough to find me. For now, we need to figure out how to get these wild dragons out of our realm. My plan? We lure them to the Human Realm where reinforcements are waiting. Oh, and maybe we’ll burn Max Green’s house on the way. Win-win.

Azrael's a wingless angel, and if that wasn't bad enough, she's the only one with a functioning conscience. Her bi-color eyes mark her as a moral hybrid, and when she breaks her enslavement to Manor Saffron by making a deal with a demon, she doesn't expect to become Queen. She'll have to survive her new royal magic, convince a legion of angels she's worth fighting for, and find the breach in her Faustian deal, or risk a new master with horns.

The first law of the Valkyrie is "Don't fall in love." I messed that one up...big time. I failed my sisters and fell in love with William Johnson. I've watched him for three lifetimes and a little piece of me broke every time I had to let him die. I paid the price for breaking the first law of the Valkyrie. I lost all the memories I had of Will. That's why Sam is keeping tabs on me. She's an ever-present shadow during my time at Mattsfield High. Sam is the perfect Valkyrie. Tall. Beautiful. Heartless.

There’s no question. This is my dragon, and I’m going to save it. egg...even if it’s lifeless. The hollow shell has the faintest echo of a heartbeat still inside and my magic as a dragonrider called to it, setting a bond in place. Bonds can be broken, but I refuse. There’s no question. This is my dragon, and I’m going to save it. Even if I die trying.

Today we ride to Avalon. This is the ultimate graduation test; one that’ll challenge me on every level. The Academy rules say that Killian and I must reclaim an artifact and return home, but I’m not going to stop there. A wild dragon queen holds her lair in the center of Avalon’s mists. This is my one shot at answers - even if I don’t like what I’ll find.

It’s been two years after I’d cleared my father’s name and made Dragonrider Academy my permanent residence. I’m ready to celebrate and finally ride together with Killian. Except, the second we take to the skies, we fly right into a trap. The Wild Dragons have been waiting for this moment to strike. My bond with Killian and my dragon will be tested like they never have before.

Wild dragons followed me home. And they’ve learned a new trick. This breed can shift into human form, and they’ve taken my mother hostage. Their price for her safe return? Max Green. I’m more than happy to hand the jerkwad over, but Killian says we need more information, which leads us to working undercover at Max's favorite hangouts. Blending in at my old high school seemed like a good plan at first to get dirt on Max Green and his friends, but after Killian tried to skewer a student, I’m not so sure this plan is going to work out.

The gods are dying. Thane has served his goddess for thousands of lifetimes, but even he knows that time is running out. There's only one way to save her, to save all of Dweller kind, and it's a suicide mission. The host is a boy named Jakob. His ancient soul is one of the rare sources of power still recycling in the world of flesh. Thane has taken so many souls to his goddess, but this one could save them all. It's only when Thane learns the truth of the gods does he deny them their power. Souls aren't recycled. They're destroyed, and his goddess isn't a deity...she's a monster.

Second law of the Valkyrie: Don't question the gods. Whelp, I broke another one. Questioning the gods is the least of my problems. Freya is about to flip her lid. Odin wants my man in his super army. And then, there's Heimdall, a gangster goddess with a gold grill for teeth who runs this swanky New York restaurant (which also happens to be the Bifrost).
