Krus'Ka'Kam: a world of technological peace and magical prosperity share by a myriad of sentient beings. Until now. The dragon Ry'Ugure, a priest of the highest order, has begun a struggle to defy the very god he has vowed to worship, and to bring about a change to Krus'Ka'Kam which could destroy it. Following him is a massive, secret army of dissidents known as the Hive. But the god Taykato isn't without his champion. A young woman, Machi Velistar, who's dream is to be one of the heroes in the books she loves, is soon caught up in the struggle to save her friends and her own life from the vehement destruction of the Hive. Helping these two are embittered lovers, the warriors Sophronia and Soper, who began their own crusade two millennia ago, but who will now use Ry'Ugure and Machi against their will to finish it.

For over a thousand years, the Lands have been under the mercy of ruthless evil rider Haiden and his ferocious black dragon. They rule with an iron fist, promising riches only to those who swear blind loyalty to them... but certain death to those who would dare defy their authority. Every hundred years, however, a Rider and Dragon of Legend emerge and attempt to defeat Haiden and his dragon... but so far, not one has succeeded. This time, Akira, an untrained and inexperienced girl of sixteen summers, is chosen by the new Dragon of Legend, as his rider. Together, the two find themselves thrust into a fate many see as a lost cause-challenging the most powerful rider and dragon in the realm. With all odds seemingly stacked against them, will Akira and her dragon prevail... or will they share the same fate as all the other Riders and Dragons of Legend before them? If you love fun and adventure, smart-mouthed dragons, and good triumphing over evil, then Angelika Meyer's Dragon of Legend: Destiny is a book that will definitely tickle your fancy.

Ward draws on 10 years publishing experience and over 30 years of gaming to create a unique product; a book that draws on the latest innovations in computer-game design and fuses them with the old-style game books that initially attracted him to fantasy when he was younger.

Book Description

A magical Highland romance about men in kilts, destiny, family, healing, and the sometimes twisted path to love . . . "Delightful, charming, and heart-warming." --New York Times bestselling author Wendy Higgins Helping her aunt organize a Beltane Festival in a picturesque Highland village seems like the perfect escape from Anna's second broken engagement and the meltdown that wrecked her legal career. But to succeed, she'll need to wrangle kilt-wearing villagers, dangerous sheep, a disaster of a dog, and the reclusive laird who refuses to open his property to the public for the ancient tradition of "Sighting." For centuries, Loch Fàil in Balwhither has been known to locals as a "thin" place, one where the veil between worlds peels back on Beltane morning to reveal the face of a person's one true love. The tradition could draw tourists by the busload, but that's exactly what Connal MacGregor fears will expose the two secrets he's been desperate to keep hidden. While Anna struggles to mediate between the needs of the village and Connal's need to protect his identity and his daughter, she finds herself falling in love with all of them: Connal and his child, the magical glen, the villagers. But day by day, opening herself to love exposes deeper scars from Anna's childhood, and confronting those wounds could finally set her free--or endanger her every chance of happiness.
