Dragons. Right. Teenage girls don’t believe in fairy tales, and sixteen-year old Elena Watkins was no different.
Until the night a fairy tale killed her father.
Now Elena’s in a new world, and a new school. The cutest guy around may be an evil dragon, a Prince wants Elena’s heart, and a long dead sorcerer may be waking up to kill her. Oh. And the only way Elena’s going to graduate is on the back of a dragon of her own.
Teenage girls don’t believe in fairy tales. Now it’s time for Elena to believe – in herself.

OTHER NOVEL IS THE SERIES:
Venom: Sixteen-year-old Elena Watkins is on her summer break in the magical realm of Paegeia where Dragons and Magic exist. A novelette that should be read with Thunderlight, The Dragonian series part two.
Thunderlight: For 17-year-old Elena Watkins, the world of Paegeia is not finished revealing all its secrets. During a summer break intended for relaxation, she discovers that her harrowing adventure to retrieve the King of Lion sword wasn’t the destiny foretold by the cryptic Viden, a dragon with the ability to see a person’s true fate. The words inked onto the page of the mysterious Book of Shadows remains black, and Elena must return to Dragonia Academy to discover their true meaning.
Upon her return to the magnificent castle, she has to face a challenge of a different kind – keeping her boyfriend, Lucian McKenzie, the Prince of Tith and love of her life, away from the dangerous new student, Paul Sutton. As a Wyvern, Paul has made it his mission to claim Elena as his rider, but he is proving to be more perilous than at first glance. Everyone knew that Wyverns were bad news and just as evil as the darkness lurking inside Blake Leaf, the Rubicon, who is forced to fight against his inner nature every day. But Elena can see a small light in the darkness, a destiny still unfulfilled, to prove that Wyverns can be claimed.

EXCERPT:
My smile soon vanished, however, as I remembered why he was unlocking the gate. My heart started to thump inside my throat and my knees trembled softly as the edge, just a few feet past the gate, caught my eye.
“Close your eyes, Elena,” he said.
I did as he told me and an image of him transforming into a dragon flashed into my mind.
My eyes flew open when my feet bumped against a small step.
“You are such a wuss,” Becky said, already in her seat.
I found myself standing on the step of a modern carriage with leather couches. A strong lemon aroma hung in the air around us.
I felt like a twenty-first-century Cinderella. The windows were tinted—not that I had an urge to look outside anyway. I took a seat next to Sammy as I struggled to tear my gaze away from the carriage’s finer details. Someone had hand-stitched the black couches, and the soft, dark brown velvet that bedecked the walls gave the carriage a warm ambience.
Master Longwei took a seat right next to Becky. Our eyes met as my attention wandered to the ceiling.
“So, I heard that you solved the chef’s riddle last night.”
I nodded and let out a tiny shriek as the carriage lifted off the ground. I grabbed the safety belt and buckled up.
“Do you like riddles?”
“Not really,” I spoke fast as the carriage started to stabilize itself once again.
I took a deep breath but didn’t unclench my fists.
“She got the answer on the first try. We were complaining about the horrible food when she just blurted out the answer,”Becky said.
“Speak for yourself, I like Chef’s cooking,” Sammy snapped.
“You mean those disgusting leaves you’re always eating?”
“Vegetarianism is a life choice.”
“Sammy, you’re the first dragon I’ve met that’s a vegetarian.”
Sammy stuck out her tongue at Becky.
“My intuition tells me Chef is going to make a lot of junk food,” Master Longwei said.
I just smiled nervously.
As the turbulence returned I began to wish the ride would end and closed my eyes tightly. Elm had better be worth this horrible ride. A soft nudge in my rib cage made my eyes fly open. I saw Sammy nodding earnestly toward the exit.
Becky crouched in front of me and shook her head as she prepared to disembark.
We landed in the woods near a narrow path. I automatically searched for what had pulled the carriage. I should’ve known what I would find: two big-ass dragons.
I quickly followed the others down the path to a small village. We didn’t have to wait long before a tram came into sight. “You have normal transport too?” I asked half mockingly.
Sammy giggled, and Becky ushered me onto the tram. The conductor greeted Master Longwei with a firm handshake, and they started to talk. For the first ten minutes I tried to figure out whether the conductor was a dragon, but curiosity vanished the minute we entered the city.
It reminded me of New York mixed with Venice. People walked on the sidewalks with dogs, and a few even drove around in little mobile carts. We passed a fountain where a couple was tossing in loose coins. Next to the fountain, an artist worked his magic on an easel, reproducing the beautiful scenes around him.
Shops started flashing by, and the streets buzzed with more and more people. As the road narrowed, I was surprised to see more conventional transport: bicycles and motorcycles. A touch of home but there were also some things out of this world. Some people were standing on a sort of skateboard contraption, flying a few inches above the air. A flame of blue steam came from the back of the board. Their riders were really good and zoomed in between the people.
“What is that?”
“It’s called a raider,” Sammy said. “Your side doesn’t have them yet?”
I shook my head without taking my gaze off one.
Sammy started to laugh and looked at Becky. “Becky’s tried like fifty odd times to get hers.”
“Hahaha,” Becky said sarcastically. Sammy and I laughed. “It’s not fifty yet.”
“Okay, then let me rephrase: the next time will be your fiftieth.”
Becky glared at her, but a small smile appeared and I knew she took Sammy’s comment as a joke.
The tram came to a halt in front of a big mall with coffee shops dominating the area around it. People were drinking coffee and reading newspapers at the sidewalk tables.
Sammy pulled me out of the way and a raider just missed my head. It was followed by two other raiders and the guys who rode them all wore goggles and laughed.
