Once, Iola flew with a dragon. If she can become ambassadress to the dragons' realm, she might fly again, but first she must navigate life as an ordinary priestess. She’s wholly devoted to the dragons, but some of her fellow priestesses are dragon-blind and corrupt. Worse, they think that Iola’s devotions are actually just a sign of greed. The ambassadress returns from the dragons’ realm, too sick to fly again. Iola might have a chance to take her place, but her rival, Tiagasa, was raised in a prince's palace. Tiagasa thrives on political intrigue and gossip, and her lover is about to become governor of the city. Iola’s few friends and allies aren't much more savvy than she is. Still, they hope to persuade the new governor to make Iola ambassadress so that the temple cam be a true sanctuary of the dragons for a few years more.

Drawing on mythical and life experiences, Lady Graell offers an approach to the art of dragon priestessing that bridges the magick of the elements to protecting and guarding the sacred treasure of your womb.

A fiery priestess. An ice cold dragon. An entangled destiny they cannot escape. As if being exiled and forced to give up her influential fiancé wasn’t bad enough, Suzume was ordered to marry a rock. The wedding symbolizes her becoming a priestess, serving the God of the Mountain. But as she approaches the altar to make her vows, her latent powers spark to life, destroying the sacred rock and releasing what’s inside, which isn’t a god, but a dragon. Five hundred years ago, the woman Kaito loved betrayed him & sealed him in stone. Now that he’s free, he wants revenge. Since his ex-lover is dead, he’ll have to settle for her reincarnation, Suzume, but simply killing her isn’t enough. He needs her to suffer. When Suzume uncovers the tangled threads of fate that bind them together, she resolves to kill Kaito or die trying. That is, if she can resist his charm. Making Suzume love him was all part of his wicked plan. But the longer he delays destroying her, the stronger the temptation of a fresh start becomes. Can he make peace with his past or will history repeat itself?

She was called the Dragon Princess by her people, sometimes with contempt, and sometimes with reverence. But 700 years before the Empire's cannon pierced the dragon's breast, there was another girl. Threatened by an evil dragon, the people of a small kingdom formed a pact with a Divine Dragon and flourished under its protection. Brunhild is born into the house of the Dragon Priestesses—the only ones in the land who can understand the dragon's words. Like her mother and her mother's mother before her, she serves the Divine Dragon, cleaning his temple, listening to his sacred words, and gratefully offering him tribute: seven people every month.

When she learns that she might be the daughter of the prince, she’s afraid she’ll be trapped there forever so she flees to the city of Anamat.

Darna scavenges for scraps and just about gets by, but when she's offered a sack of gold beads for a small bit of thieving, she takes her chances... and ends up angering the city’s patron dragon.
