Evie's shattered ribs have been a secret for the last four years. Now she has found the strength to tell her adoptive parents, and the physical traces of her past are fixed - the only remaining signs a scar on her side and a fragment of bone taken home from the hospital, which her uncle Ben helps her to carve into a dragon as a sign of her strength. Soon this ivory talisman begins to come to life at night, offering wisdom and encouragement in roaming dreams of smoke and moonlight that come to feel ever more real. As Evie grows stronger there remains one problem her new parents can't fix for her: a revenge that must be taken. And it seems that the Dragon is the one to take it. This subtly unsettling novel is told from the viewpoint of a fourteen-year-old girl damaged by a past she can't talk about, in a hypnotic narrative that, while giving increasing insight, also becomes increasingly unreliable. A blend of psychological thriller and fairy tale, The Bone Dragon explores the fragile boundaries between real life and fantasy, and the darkest corners of the human mind.

Every lore of every clan, across time and space, dreamed of dragons. Did you ever wonder why? Erebu and Sorin fought through countless lifetimes of trials and tribulations to find one another again. They even conquered death. But Ere’s rebirth requires a price: he must answer the Celestial Summons when it comes and faithfully complete each task the Jade Emperor sets before him. On the bright side, he doesn’t have to perform miracles alone. Sorin will be right there with him. One the not so bright side, his Fate, the Fate of all dragon Kind, and by extension, the Universal Balance, depend on the successful execution of each quest. No pressure. His first task is find and retrieve the Jewel of Dreams. Location: Unknown. Time travel will be required. Clues: Too few. But there may be a dragon-slayer, a king, a wizard, and a few mythical monsters along the way. Accompaniments: His beloved Sorin (who is all he needs!) A humorless, anti-social female dragon (who he doesn’t need). Though her kickass fighting skills do come in handy in a pinch. Timing: ASAP. Determined by an arbitrary Sandglass in the Jade Emperor’s possession. The end of the world may be just around the corner. Along the way, enemies may become lovers, reluctant friendships may form, and lots of hot, desperate, this-may-be-the-last-time-we-have-sex sex will definitely be had. And who knows, you may never want to wake up from this… DREAM OF DRAGONS. *First in the Dragon Tails series* **Spin-off from the Pure/ Dark Ones series**

The lines between right and wrong blur, but one thing holds fast—the scattered team needs to reunite to free everyone from bigger powers pulling the strings. This second installment of the Falling & Uprising series is an edge-of-your-seat page turner, escalating the struggle and gripping readers with heartbreaking tension.

Sailing away from her first book, An Ocean of Grey, Kamalia Hasni’s second book, A Wave of Dreams, is another collection of poetry and prose. The book follows the author's journey in healing from previous heartbreak, her empowering discovery of self-love and independence, her experiences and struggles in living alone in a new country, and her courage in giving love a second chance. This e-book also includes a song recommendation complementing each written poem. Note: Unlike the physical edition published by Meraki Press, this e-book edition does not include illustrations. Excerpt from the book: "And once again you ask yourself what is love? Because the answer keeps changing from one face to another, and eventually to no face at all. Why do we never think to look in the mirror when we wonder about love? Because love is in the warm deep colours of fall from the eyes staring back at you. Love is in that mischievous smile and amused chuckle that escapes from your reflection. Love is in the courage simmering in your blood, making you thirsty for discovery and adventure. Love is in the kindness and loyalty in your heart, and the patience and strength in the fibre of your being. Everybody searches for love. You. You are love, and someday love will be found." – Kamalia Hasni ("you will be found") Praise for A Wave of Dreams: “If you ever wonder what true love genuinely feels like, I really recommend reading this poetry book. It’s honest, warm— you can almost feel the love of the author for her soulmate.” – Hidayah Norezam (Goodreads) “This book shows you that healing really isn't a linear process, but with time and letting yourself take risks in life, you will eventually reach a better place.” – Jacey (Goodreads)

Revenge may be cold, but vengeance burns white-hot. Cold was not Kamdyn’s style. Never had been. Never would be. She was the daughter of Evan McGregor, heiress to the Power and Magic of a hundred centuries of unstoppable Witches, and no one, not even a cold-hearted, thieving murderer, was going to take it from her. She would watch him burn and leave his ashes for the Elements. If it hadn’t been for that blasted Dragon… Be careful what you wish for. Wishes and dreams were for other people. Callum learned at a young age to make the most of the hand he’d been dealt. Life was tough, but he was tougher. As the son of one of the most revered Guardsmen of all time, he would take what he wanted and make no apologies. Go down with your sword in your hand and no regrets in your heart was the O’Shea family motto, but this Dragon had no intentions of going down and regrets. Well, they just weren’t his style. Come to think of it, neither was being careful. If it hadn’t been for that infernal Witch… Secrets revealed, rising passions, and an enemy they never saw coming force this couple to accept their Destiny and fight side-by-side to save all they hold dear. Will it be enough? Will they be in time? Will this be the first time Fate will be denied? This Dragon may be down, but he’s definitely not out - or is he?
