Summary
"There is no need to strike again," I finally reply. "Our intentions were heard and now our rider should have her way."
The Silver One fears this trip won't take place. Human leadership is being excessively difficult, much to the annoyance of all beings involved. However, despite whatever illusion of control those lesser creatures believe themselves to have, we will be searching Deverelli.
--
Tairneanach, son of Murtcuidaem and Fiaclanfuil, descended from the Dubhmaddin line, is at his wit's end. His rider cannot stay away from a darkwielder, Andarna's adolescent moods are exasperating, and his mate has been in a dour state since the Battle of Basgiath. On top of all that, they have a mission to plan, a dragon species to discover, and a continent to save. But there is no dragon more powerful or more capable of accomplishing such tasks.On-page and off-page excerpts from Tairn's point of view during Onyx Storm.

Summary
“I’ve missed you,” the iridescent dragon groused, but the happiness emanating from the bond made Violet grin. “I still wish that human offspring could simply hatch from eggs like dragons do.”
“I don’t disagree,” Violet mused. She felt a twinge in her chest, the tug that occurred more frequently these days, particularly when she felt her heart was meant to be in two places. She pulled back from her dragon, meeting Andarna’s gaze. “Care to meet Liana?”

Summary
"Violence?" His voice is soft and unsteady and a million miles away from his usual confident tone.
"I'm here," I whisper, running my thumb down his cheek. He's awake. He might not be fully healed, but he's awake.

Summary
Xaden once told Violet that he'd never fucked a first year, not even when he was one.
And he hadn't been lying. Because in the night before Xaden, Garrick, and their friends crossed the parapet, none of them were even cadets yet.
But when he meets up with all his friends after three years of forced separation, many emotions and memories resurface that he'd thought buried deep in the past. And many things happened during those three years that might have changed who they are forever.- Language:

Summary
“Are you going to spend all of this class staring at me, love?”
His mind wraps around hers like black velvet, soft and seductive. Violet shivers, which could easily be attributed to the winter weather outside the arena they’re currently in.
Xaden looks totally unruffled, waiting for all the cadets to arrive, and she lets her eyes roam across him: thick thighs and strong shoulders under his leathers, beautiful and sharp facial features. This man is her every weakness.
“Well, it is not my fault you look so good,” she tells him, and drags her eyes down his form again. “Besides, no one can fault me for looking. And thinking. And imagining.”

Summary
“So,” Quinn says, drawing out the word with a bright grin, “are you going to tell me what happened last night or am I going to have to pull the information out of you by force?”
I smile, both grateful for the shift in mood, and also slightly terrified for some reason to talk about it, even with Quinn.
But I’m not keeping things from her anymore. Not now that I don’t have to.Series
