Dragons may be fierce but they are symbols�of great power, and the bond between human and dragon, once forged, can never be broken. Or can it? Can romance deal a deathly trail of vows abandoned, or forgotten, and can realms beyond our time conjure tales of Dragon Lords, warrior�princesses and great rivalries? Modern writers have sought to explore these questions and more, in a new anthology of enchanting romantic fantasy fiction. Strong-willed, independent leads navigate epic fantasy worlds and emotionally charged quests, featuring lyrical romance, and of course, majestic dragons. Featuring a foreword by Caren Hahn, and stories by these authors: Charlotte V. Bond, A.M. Croll, Maria D'Antonio-Reich, Deborah L. Davitt, Kit Englard, Kay Hanifen, Sarah Hozumi, Valerie Hunter, Georgina Kamsika, Abigail Kelly, Sasha Kielman, Samara Lo, J.I. Locatelli, Damien Mckeating, Isabel McKeough, M. McNamara, Arda Mori, Kevin Potter, Mere Rain, Mia K. Rose, Laura Shenton, Liv Strom, Susan Taitel, Nemma Wollenfang and J.L. Worrad. Flame Tree Romantic Fantasy�- a captivating blend of our signature Gothic Fantasy collections with the passion and magic of Romantasy. This series featuring stories selected from open submissions is an exciting addition to Flame Tree's Beyond & Within, Myths, Gods & Immortals, Gothic Fantasy, Classic Stories and Epic Tales Collections, all beautifully presented, perfect as a gift and offering a lifetime of reading pleasure.
