Embracing the Flames
The
Stone of Immortality has always been kept under the watch of the
Draconta. That is, until the betrayal of a Fate. Now everything is
about to change.
Aurora
Megalos accepted her destiny without blinking-even if it meant
succumbing to her dragon side. Deemed the Progeny, she left the
ordinary life she knew and has done everything in her power to learn
the ways of her new realm and what it means to be part dragon. But
when her mentor, Astral, suddenly disappears, she is forced to take
the reins.
With
war on the brink, she sets out on an epic journey to not only find
her mentor, but to stop her Arch Enemy, Zordon, from obtaining the
Stone of Immortality. But what she discovers about him along the way
is far worse than she could’ve ever imagined. She will be tested
and pushed to the limit. Lives will be lost, love will be questioned,
and a battle will begin.

Red
mirrored scales race up my arms as the haze of pain blurs my vision.
My bones crack, breaking to realign. I scream. It is then that the
realization of my unavoidable fate sinks in; I am of a dying race. I
am dragon.
Aurora
Megalos, orphaned and teetering on the edge of adulthood, thought
finding her past would curb the sting of being an outcast. Having no
memories of the time before she awoke on her foster mother’s
doorstep, she yearns for the emptiness inside her to be filled. With
her fellow orphaned best friend, Fenn, by her side, she has nothing
to lose and everything to gain. But something powerful stirred within
her that she couldn’t explain. Something wanted out.
In
the dark of night, a crazed Seer, dubbed Mr.Creepy, erases everything
she’s ever known with an impending prophecy. She now faces two
paths. Return to her true home to protect a dying race against a
growing evil, or stay hidden in the safety of our realm with a shot
at a true love. With a vengeful Arch Enemy stopping at nothing to see
her dead, she’s running out of time; a decision must be made. What
would you choose?
