It's time for an update! While I loved the Escape to Dragon Island covers, they weren't really conveying the paranormal nature of the books, or their relationship to the Return of the Dragon's series, so I thought I'd try some changes.

What do you think of the updates? Have you read this series yet?

And for those who prefer to read the full story rather than the serial episodes, here is the Dragon Forged Compilation – Distracting the Dragon Prince.

Let sleeping dragons lie. That’s a real saying, isn’t it? Well, if not, maybe it should be…

The plan was so simple. All small town reporter Rita had to do to get the scoop of a lifetime was find the sleeping dragon prince, wake him, and keep him from going to war with an opposing clan. Easy, right?

Not so much.

Because now she’s caught between duelling dragon clans with a centuries old prince who has a slew of secrets and way more sex appeal than she can handle.

Pretty soon she’ll need to decide if the best story in the world is worth betraying the smokin’ hot dragon shifter she can’t seem to keep her mind (or hands) off.

Who knew that distracting a dragon could be so complicated?

Before you ask, yes, Sarian and Ultrian's story is coming! I'm hoping to have it out later this year. But before I get to that story, I have another one to finish – Raven's story. You may remember his introduction when he invited Verrian up to sing at karaoke. Or maybe when he lent his motorbike to Lisa and Verrian to help them escape Ultrima. And if you're up to date, you'll know that he was the one who woke Sarian, and is bonded to her through the Mesmer. But we know Sarian isn't going to fall for him, so who is?

A down on his luck rock star. A dragon warrior who just wants to sing. And a princess who needs them both. Music can’t possibly be the solution—or can it?

Raven hadn’t meant to get involved with the dragon shifter clan. He’d gone with them mostly to avoid an angry dragon turning up on his doorstep asking where they were. Waking the future queen? Well, that was just a bonus. He hadn’t realised quite how complicated that would turn out. Worrying about his failing music career is a dim and distant concern when his life is on the line yet again.

All Fayrian ever wanted was to use her musical talents to entertain and to bring joy to her clan. Pity they’re at war, and her ability to fight is far more valued. When she’s assigned to protect and wait on the future queen, she hopes this might be her chance. If Rian clan won’t appreciate her music, maybe the queen’s Mesmer mate, the human musician Raven, might give her the opportunity she longs for.

But sometimes, sacrifices must be made. The princess might not love Raven, but she does need him. As the war between the dragon clans heats up, with the queen right at the centre, Raven and Fayrian realise that music can’t solve their problems.

Or can it?

Accepting the Dragon is out now, and I hope it was worth the wait. This episode concludes Rita and Warrian's story, and gives some big hints for Sarian's story, which will be starting later this year.

They’ve talked Ultrima into their plan, now they just need to convince Warrian’s family.

The battle is half won. But convincing Warrian’s sister to accept not only his apology, but also the return of the Trima clan, is going to be harder than they thought. And that’s before Ultrima throws a spanner in the works.

Even if they accept Warrian’s return, does Rita stand a chance at the acceptance she craves? She has a plan to help the dragons, but will their stubbornness get in the way of a possible solution?

Accepting the Dragon is the 5th and final part of the Dragon Forged serial.
