“You have sacrificed everything for me,” she murmured to the massive dragon, climbing atop his back. “I’ll never leave your side Gavyn, and one day I know you’ll come back to me.”
“I haven’t gone anywhere,” the beast groused.
“While I love your fearsome beauty and power, I want to you to be able to hold me…and make love with me…and give me babies. Will you come back to me?”
The dragon remained silent and crawled forward with sinuous swishing grace before leaping into the sky. Its massive wings flapped, and they soared over the kingdom for miles before resting atop the cold mountains of Nuria. That night as she lay atop her dragon sleeping, a sound roused her, and she stirred a jolt of shock piercing her heart to see a naked Gavyn before her.
“Gavyn!”
His eyes opened, and the silver of his eyes had shattered, and shards of black and orange flames now resided in their depths. He opened his arms, and she flung herself in them, deep sobs ripping from her. Then she laughed, pressing kisses all over his face.
“I thought I would have to wait years before you come back to me.”
“You are my love, my mate,” he murmured. “I’ll always come back to you.”
Then he cupped her face in his hands and kissed her endlessly.

Dear readers of The Amagarians,
Thank you so much for reading Xian and Gavyn’s journey. As I unfold the world of the Amagarians and the upcoming war, the series will feature a set of shirt novellas, so we get a point of view from several supporting characters. All the main heroes and heroines will have full-length books, but the in-between novellas will paint a richer and more vibrant world of the Amagarians.
Eternal Promise, a full-length novel featuring the witch Amirah and the hunter of the Darkage will be available in August, and a novella titled Gidon: Darkness rising in October, and another novella featuring Acheron will be released in December. Of course, you will meet Xian and Gavyn again because their journey in this tumults time in Amagarie is just the beginning.
Love,
Stacy

I live a lot in the worlds I create, and I actively speak to my characters (out loud). I have a warrior way: “Never give up on my dream.” When I am not writing, I read books, watch Japanese anime, play video games with my love. I also have a horrible weakness for ice cream.
