Dragon Apparent

The world is guarded by dragons. Lurking in the shadows and keeping out of sight, they keep evil at bay. Or do they? Scarlet lives an ordinary life in LA. She is going about her life as normal when she finds out the hard way about the creatures that go bump in the night. With her guardian missing and strange events happening wherever she goes, she is forced to confront the truth and accept her true nature. Will she become what she needs to be? Hunted and adjusting to a new reality, can Scarlet find her friend and companion? Or will she be too late to save him?

With Anthony gone, Scarlet and Ben are left to figure out what he died for. On top of that, Scarlet has to get used to living in the dragon city of Detaris. Being an infamous red dragon only makes that harder. Nothing is ever simple, and they may be in as much danger as Anthony was. Can Scarlet figure out what Anthony's journals are trying to tell her while also navigating the strange new world of dragons? Or are there too many obstacles stacked against her? New allies come out of the shadows to aid her in her quest for answers. Scarlet needs their help, but trusting them is another matter. Do they have ulterior motives to befriend her, or are their offers of assistance genuine? Most importantly, can she figure out who she is?

Sometimes the truth is worse than not knowing. Back in Detaris, Scarlet's friends are fast becoming the family she never had. But she has a thousand questions and is still restless. How can she perform magic no one else understands? Who are her parents? Why do the Shadow Catchers and their handlers keep coming after her? She knows someone out there has the answers. But can she risk what she already has to pursue the unknown? Who can she trust when her back is against the wall? Will everyone stand by her, or do they just want the power she possesses? There's only one way to find out. She has to face the demons once again. Will she like what she finds? Or will she find out that some secrets are kept for a reason?

Two heirs to one throne. Who will take the crown? Will power or allies be the deciding factor over the future? After months of building proof that she is the heir to the throne, someone Scarlet thought was an ally shows up with another red dragon. Does the newcomer want the throne, and does she care if he takes it? Leading two races to safety and securing their future is not what Scarlet would have chosen for herself. She had accepted her duty to dragons and humans alike. The new arrival throws everything into question. Can she sit by and let another take a throne they've not earned simply because of the color of their scales? Is she any more worthy than he is? The answer comes, but not the way Scarlet expects. The world is starting to take notice, and an enemy who is growing stronger is threatening to break out of his underground prison. Can Scarlet and her rival work together to stop him?

Everyone tells Scarlet it's good to be the Queen. Reality is another matter. The throne has been decided and Scarlet has found herself in charge of the entire dragon nation. But ruling comes with far more responsibility than she had expected. The dragons are once again united, but that doesn't mean the difficulties are gone. There are battles ahead, and it's on Scarlet to ensure they make it through intact. Can Scarlet lead them to their first major victory? Or are there too many other challenges still to face? All Scarlet ever wanted was to avenge the death of her mentor and make sure the forces of darkness don't steal any more from her. Between the intrigue, the dragons' desperate fight for survival, and her continuing magical discoveries, there are still so many secrets to uncover . . . and the human race can't be kept ignorant forever. Will Scarlet get the gate powered up before it's too late? Can she find the answers she needs in time to stop the demon from breaking free?

Failure sucks. It's even worse when the whole world is watching. Scarlet has been queen for less than a month and she's already failed in her most important duty. The enemy of the world is on the loose, and he's not planning on picking flowers and making cotton candy. Human governments around the world want to know how so many dragons have been hiding right under their noses for all this time, adding to the pressure Scarlet is under. Can she reassure them that dragons are here to defend humanity and not harm them? The chance to prove her promises comes when the demon starts attacking locations at random, hurting humans and dragons alike. Scarlet is expected to have the answers, but the demon is always one step ahead of her. Her determination to keep people safe gives her a lead. All she has to do is beat the demon to each target before more people die on her watch. The only thing Scarlet knows for sure is that she can't fail again. Plunging into magic-filled battles, her desperation fuels strategies that could save everyone, or doom them to disaster. Will her efforts be enough to defeat the enemy? Will she learn that it's okay to ask for help?

The clock is ticking, and the demon is not holding back. Scarlet, once the world's shield, now feels like its failing hope. Yet, with the might of the dragon folk and their steadfast allies, surrender is not an option. As the demon reveals his final card, Scarlet is left reeling. But the tide of battle is capricious, and it could be turned in her favor if she can muster her every ounce of courage and cunning. With the shadow of danger looming large, Scarlet doesn't falter. She has honed her skills for this very moment, her magic pulsing stronger than ever before. The battlefront is set, and she's ready to bring the fight to the demon. But the question remains, will her power suffice, and can she count on her allies to stand beside her? The fate of the world hangs in the balance. There will be only one victor. Dive into this gripping finale of a saga filled with high stakes, mystic arts, loyal companions, bonds akin to family, and epic showdowns. Discover who emerges triumphant.

The world is in danger, and Scarlet refuses to lay down the weight of blame. Scarlet is struggling to defend the planet against the demon from behind the gate. Frustration and fear build as creatures succumb to the demonic corruption and their enemy continues to gain ground in the fight. No matter what they do to drive him back, Scarlet's army keeps coming in second. But the dragons are no longer alone in the fight. Humanity is stepping up and the militaries from around the world untie to defend their world alongside the dragons. Together, there is a chance their combined might can stop the corruption spreading, and new knowledge of ancient artifacts hidden around the world could be the advantage they need to save everyone. Scarlet has to believe that they can truly trust each other. The only other option is utter destruction. Will the fragile alliance be strong enough to help them beat the demon to the artifacts? Or will there be yet more unwanted surprises that prevent Scarlet from getting the demon back behind the gate?
