Of Flames and Gold
[My WSA 2024 Entry novel! Please vote]
In a world where mythical beings have fallen into an "eternal slumber," a thriving underground market exploits the stolen essence of these dormant creatures. At its epicenter are dragons—majestic beings desired for their scales, organs, and prized eggs. The most coveted treasure of all is a dragon's name, a key that holds the power to control its very existence.
Dragon Lord, guardian of a clutch of dormant eggs, lives in isolation atop a hill, surrounded by a forest that veils his castle. He bears the scars of past betrayals, having been deceived by those who feigned love to steal his treasures or claim his head as a bounty. Jaded and cold, he trusts no one, living a solitary existence. However, his solitude is shattered when a woman unwittingly stumbles into his life.
Yara finds herself in Dragon Lord's treasured den amidst a battle between the dragon and thieves. In a twist of fate, she mistakenly bonds with the dormant eggs, breathing life into them. Reluctantly, Dragon Lord allows Yara into his world, and their journey unfolds amid the looming threat of underground organizations seeking to exploit the dragons for profit.
As the eggs come to life, so does an unexpected connection between Dragon Lord and Yara. Despite his cold and jaded exterior, he finds himself unable to ignore her presence. Yara, too, cannot deny the pull she feels towards him, and emotions begin to burn beneath the surface. Together, they must navigate the challenges of waiting for the eggs to hatch, fend off those who seek to exploit the dragon and its offspring, and confront the secrets that Yara harbors—a revelation that could destroy everything.
In this tale of flames and gold, two scarred souls in a world where trust is a rare and precious commodity must confront the ghosts of their pasts. They navigate the dangerous currents of love and deception, protecting unborn dragons from a world hungry for their magic.
Will their bond withstand the trials ahead, or will the flames of betrayal engulf them in the end?

Tbh, this the first time I read the book which are the mc is a dragon. It's good idea, but I hope you can make the description more easy to understand. I interested to read more, but I can't understand almost of the words 🥲 because my english is not that good. I just can understand the book with straightfoward style. Keep writing.

Of flames and gold is one of the mythical novel that I have found myself so intrigued in. Firstly, I got hooked when Yara got entangled in the dan of the dragoon lord and bond with the Dragon eggs. My first thought was how come? Although, I hate the dragon from the start because he is rude and void of any emotions. But then as I begin to read, I just keep finding myself flopping more pages. The character description and portraying of yara emotions and that of the dragon is so intriguing and it would keep you hooked from the first chapter. Now, the dragon character is beginning to change his aloof personality and it tells me that there would be a spark…lol This novel is worth every bit of my time ❤️ Good job author 🤭 Ps; Whosoever is looking for a fantasy novel with tons of suspense… this novel is for you guys🤍
This is an interesting novel keep it up author
Honestly, this is the first time I'm reading a story like this, and I can say the book is really interesting. Though not what I usually find myself reading, but this was worth the read.
The book is well written. I haven't read a lot of dragon myths books but this book, has got all my attention. I can't wait to read the next chapter!
This is a nice story a well crafted storyline and characters eager to see how dragon lord and Yara bonds
The adventure in the story is thrilling and the characters are loveable .. nice work
An interesting novel, I love the dynamic between the main characters
One thing I've noticed from the piloting chapters was that the precision of how the settings and characters were introduced. Such detailed and well use of words are hard to find nowadays in novels, but this one has it. Great start writer, no wonder this story hit the ranking. Kudos to you!
Haven't finished reading but just had to drop a review (lol) This is so surreal like watching a movie, the descriptions are so detailed and the writing is so stupendous that one could easily feel very thing. I don't usually read fantasy but for this gem, I'm going to make an exception. Keep going, Quill!
