Crimzon & Clover Short Stories/Novellas

Crimzon & Clover by M. R. Mathias It isn't wise to mess with a girl and her dragon, at least not these two. A young dragon, named Crimzariathon, loses his mother to lair raiders and is left to fend for himself. A lucky girl, aptly named Clover, happens upon him and together they form a lasting bond. When more men come to raid the lair the two are forced to defend themselves, and each other, in a wicked battle. Magic, swordplay, and dragon riding glory await in this satisfying 25 page short story. Snippet: The cool night air rushed over them as they circled slowly upward on Crimzon's strong, steady thrusts. In the dragon's head his mother's soft voice whispered both instruction and encouragement, and the feeling of Clover on his back gave him the confidence and reassurance he needed to avoid falter. They climbed so high into the sky that Clover thought she just might be able to touch the stars twinkling above them. Her blood was electric with sensation. Her skin was chilled by the rushing air and her stomach was tingling as if full of wiggling snakes. She drew in a deep breath trying to calm herself but it was no use. Just as soon as she exhaled Crimzon rolled to the right and then dove sharply, leaving the wiggling snakes from Clover's belly lumped in the back of her throat. Her mind was spinning like a whirlpool. Far below, the majesty of the moonlit valleys and the hue of colors reflecting from the rocky snow-capped ridges unfolded before them. Clover marveled at the dozens of rivers and streams that glittered like strands and pools of molten gold. The force of the air pressed hard against her as Crimzon dove. She began to feel dizzy and distant, but before she slipped into unconsciousness, the dragon leveled out and sped them across the treetops at such speed that all Clover could see below was a shadowy blur. Soon their momentum died away and Crimzon began to circle and rise again, but now at a more relaxed pace. Clover was glad. She felt rubbery and nauseated. Sick or not she had to admit that it was the most exhilarating experience she had ever had. Also available: Crimzon & Clover II - The Tricky Wizard A flash fiction short story called 'The Blood of Coldfrost' and a short preview of 'The Royal Dragoneers' novel are included in this download as well.

After racing off to save a pair of poisoned orphans, Clover soon learns that she, and her dragon Crimzon, might have been duped. Is the round old wizard who summoned her what he seems? Or did he lure them into his trap? Excitement and magic await in this second installment of the Crimson & Clover short story series. **NOTE: The eight stories are available separately, or as an omnibus edition, in paperback and Kindle versions. After these 8 short stories, Crimzon and Clover's tale isn't over. It continues at the end of Confliction Compendium, the first Dragoneer Saga trilogy, and continues through the end of that 6-book series and beyond. T he World of Egod is a thirty-three-book series and includes the following series. They are listed in optimal reading order, which is timeline order, but each series has its own end and as long as you can reference the timeline the books establish, as displayed in this list, you should be just fine. It doesn't really matter until you get to the Grand Finale, Devious Arcana Trilogy Two. If you undertake this massive literary journey, do yourself a favor, and save Devious Arcana Trilogy Two, for last. Why? In the early chapters of book one, Braiden Thane, the main character in all the Devious Arcana books, wakes up on a pirate ship chained to a corpse and an anvil. Before he jumps ship, he pilfers the corpses pockets and finds a few coins and a pocket watch he eventually learns is enchanted. In the second trilogy, after terrible otherworldly forces attacks all over the globe, they do so in different ages, and if Braiden can't stop them all, he can’t stop any of them. He uses the enchanted pocket watch to travel time, in and out of all the series below, and in whatever era he chooses. Devious Arcana Trilogy Two could be called The Dragoneer Saga, Book Seven, or The Legend of Vanx Malic, Book Eleven. Or even Perpetual Fantastica, Book Five. And since Hyden Hawk Skyler, the self-proclaimed, greatest wizard who ever lived, from The Wardstone Trilogy is a main character, Devious Arcana Trilogy Two is the finale of all these series that make up the World of Egod.

The Perpetual Fantastica series starts off the timeline. But I wrote most of the short stories first, so these eight short stories about a girl with a dragon set the tone for all of it. *Note If you buy the Crimzon & Clover stories 1~8 collection, the novellas, The Legend of Foxwise Posey-Thorn from The Legend of Vanx Malic, and The First Dragoneer the Dragoneer Saga Introductory Novella, and a few more, are included. The novellas are also available as singles. As with everything I create, I do it for my own mental health, not necessarily to be published, but, I hope you enjoy the journey. ~ M.R. Mathias
