 An anthology of vampire tales specifically with teen readers in mind, this gripping read has both new and established authors who will take readers on a mind-bending adventure of dark horror.
Beth is not an average 14 year old girl. Her family has been preyed upon by tragedy for longer than anyone can remember and her father has disappeared without word.
When a mysterious package arrives from her father posted on the day of his disappearance, strange things begin to happen. Eyes watch her, shadows follow her, and even her friends seem to by spies for some unseen evil.
Dragontales - Short Stories of Flame, Tooth, and Scale is the first of the 'tales' anthologies now produced yearly by Wyvern Publications. All short stories are aimed at teens and have contributions from new and established authors from all over the world.
In this collection of short stories for teens, Dragontales explores the magic and inspiration of all things dragon. From 'The Night of the Black Dragon' by Nicola Cains, where witch intervention averts a dangerous flood, to Boo Irwin's special gifted necklace in 'Scale', this toothy anthology has enough bite to keep its readers wanting more.
 They were known throughout the kingdom as Wishcasters and they reigned unchallenged in the known world. Little did Azalin know she was one of them...
Although Azalin has always tried to keep her unusual powers hidden, people often realise that she's different. But when she's invited to participate in the ruthless trials for the next Wishcaster Queen, her powers are revealed to be truly unique.
Meanwhile, an army is amassing to take over the Eaglecrest Kingdom and Azalin is caught up in a web of castle politics. She soon realizes she's fighting not only for her beloved kingdom, but also for the love of the capricious Prince Flynn. Can she open the eyes of the current king and queen before the land falls forever into the clutches of ire?
 In this collection of short stories for teens, readers will be plunged into tales of terror and love, with unimaginable beings of the deep.
From kelpies and banshees of Tim Reed's 'Waiting at the Water's Edge' to the shark-med of Jerry Sutton's 'Discovery on Neptune Two,' we meet some of the less understoon watery creatures.
Dark and dangerous, Mertales will captivate and thrill, as selkies, kelpies, mermaids and river gods keep you captive within its murky depths.
