Marie Treanor

Dragul Rising: Ebook Collection, Available Now from Changeling Press

Comprising: Dragul Dawn, Dragul in Daylight and Dragul in Darkness.

The Dragul are as old as the Earth. Once, they retreated before the ignorant onslaught of men. Now they're back.

As the world recovers from nuclear holocaust, two cities vie for the right to colonize the empty Highlands. Beth, a restless scientist from the City of the Damned, is sent to test the environment. When she encounters the living embodiment of her erotic dreams -- a golden winged man -- her whole life is thrown into confusion.

As the secret of the Dragul emerges, the half-human vampire Michael takes time out of his mission to their kingdom to rescue Danna, the beautiful shapeshifting Dragon Dancer. Attraction between them is so powerful that Danna begins to believe he is her One -- which would be an unthinkable tragedy when he is already bound to another woman.

Eve, beautiful, clever, visionary, leads a delegation from the human Dome City. She is used to succeeding, but she has never before encountered an opponent like the King of the Dragul. Dark, brooding and overwhelmingly powerful, King Vasil walks a lonely path, dedicated to serving and caring for his people. He is happy to battle Eve with wits, sex and ultimately love, for a prize that turns out to be larger than anyone had previously imagined.

Nothing will ever be the same.

“What is it?” she said quickly, and at once followed his gaze upward into the sky. Something was flying toward them. Something large and graceful and fast.

An old memory stirred in Beth. A shadow outside her window that solidified inside… She remembered this morning’s imagined sighting of the winged man -- why had she not connected this child with him? And then all the old, half-forgotten dreams rushed at her, paralyzing her…
The figure swooped down against the backdrop of the hills, like some monstrous golden eagle, heading straight for them.

Oh Jesus… could this really be $him?

“Aurel!” Finally, the child’s despairing word of recognition broke through her disarray. Past dreams of sensuality shattered in the face of present reality, which was a frightened child who needed her protection.

“Don’t worry,” she said grimly, rising to her feet as the creature swooped overhead. She wondered what kind of being could cause such fear in a child, but only vaguely. Nothing excused it. “No one will hurt you.”

Deliberately, Beth stepped in front of the boy. In the same movement, she reached down and took the knife from its hidden sheath in her jeans. She hadn’t grown up in the City for nothing…

Behind her, she was aware of the child’s wings fluttering in agitation. In front of her, the creature landed fluidly on his feet. Bare feet, bare legs, long and strong, his body covered by a kind of black shift similar in shape to the one the boy wore. His arms, partially covered by the same garment, bulged with muscle. He held them loosely by his sides.

Slowly, the huge, bat-like wings folded in behind him like a cloak. They were the wings from her dreams, she could swear it… Power radiated from him, and menace. It wasn’t just his physical appearance which was awesome, it was his very presence -- big, certain, overwhelming. Golden-fair hair tied behind his head, all-consuming grey eyes that had looked at her with lust and passion as he thrust repeatedly into her body… Recognition hit her like a blow, and yet she couldn’t go there -- it left her weak and vulnerable.

Beth stared at him grimly, forcing memory aside. If it came to a physical fight with this creature, her only chance lay in surprise. She knew she was quick, and her frail-looking body held unexpected strength. She would need all of it to protect the child from this…

“Aurel. My name is Aurel. And why should you imagine you have to protect him?”
