Of Love & Dragons

Launching a brand new Romantasy series, a gorgeous gift edition of modern fantasy romance short stories focusing on majestic dragons.

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.
