Book Description:
Zach was an ordinary guy living a mundane life. Attending classes, playing video games, and hanging out with his friends at Sal’s Pizza. Typical stuff for a fifteen-year-old, until one snowy night when a winged horse suddenly appeared. After that, nothing would ever be the same. Orcs, wizards, and dragons!
Zach couldn't believe this was his new norm. Now instead of playing fantasy games, he was living one.
So, when he receives an invitation to join an elite group of Dragon Riders, things really heat up, especially when he meets two beautiful girls vying for his attention. The sweetly innocent Shanna, and Lux, an enchanting, but mysterious fae.
Zach didn't know how to ride a dragon; he couldn’t follow a manual online. No "How to Ride a Dragon in Six Easy Steps" guide. It was no wonder Dredd called him “Kid”
.
Dredd Domino, the Dragon Masters’ Champion. with an attitude and swagger to match his celebrity status. Droves of girls willing to do anything to be with their hero. But Dredd only desired an ethereal beauty who played dangerous games with the dragon rider’s heart.
The Dragmar Wizard told Zach, that receiving an invitation to join the Valdorian Order of Elite Riders was a high honor. Only a select group of dragon riders were chosen to participate in their annual death-defying race. Refusing their request would be an insult to the Race Council and not taken lightly. Once a rider was selected, there was no turning back. Not ever.
Enter the realm of Brandiss-Dor where intrigue, steamy romances, and prophecies abound. Family bloodlines and secrets steeped in the legacy of the coveted Silver Leaf lie within. Some will lie, steal, and even kill for it.
Book One of the Silver Leaf Legacy ends on a cliffhanger. Dragon Masters is a mash-up of cozy and epic fantasy with heart-stopping romance. Tropes are snarky dragons, forbidden love, love triangles, and morally grey villains.
Are you ready to take flight?
Excerpt:
The Ice Wizard
ground his teeth and looked away. “I’m not your hero, Mella.”
“To me you’re heroic, not the beast you think
you are. You saved me today from being kidnapped by the orcs, they were taking
me to the Norbe Swamps!” She shuddered at the thought of slimy hands on her as
they chained her and threw her over their riding-beast. Their putrid breath as
they hovered and gloated over their captured prey.
“Daksha called
me a beast, so she’s gone now. I drove her away.” His blue eyes darkened.
The pain in his
voice ripped through her. With shaky breath, Mella drew close to him. She took
Rianor's strong hand and held it up to her lips.
He could feel
the whisper of her soft breath; his ice-blue eyes met hers. “You should go
now.”
“Is that what
you want Rianor?” she gazed into his eyes; those eyes so full of darkness and
passion.
Suddenly, he
pulled her closer; his mouth found hers. His lips whispered against hers as he
gripped her waist tightly.
She melted into
him. “I never stopped loving you. All those years trapped in that lonely
existence my heart yearned for you. I couldn’t tell you because you were with
.. with Daksha.” Tears stung Mella’s seafoam eyes.
“No... don’t
cry.” He tasted the saltiness of her falling tears as he kissed each one away.
He had to hold back his Blue Ceress magic. Mella was a sweet and gentle siren,
but only the Emerald Fire could match his darkness, and Daksha was the white
heat the Ice Wizard craved.
“You’re thinking
of her, aren’t you?” Mella pulled away. “You desire her, but do you love her?”
“I can’t feel
love. I told Daksha I loved her, but she needed to hear those words. To me,
love is nothing but a hollow emotion.”
Mella touched
his arm gently. “But why would you do that if you knew it would hurt her?”
“I have no easy
answers, do you see why I can’t be your hero?”
