What
began as a chance encounter in a museum for Daniel Hart and Rhys Daveth
blossomed, sometimes painfully, into a romance that spanned continents, endured
secrets, and defied danger. The pair of men couldn't be more different; one a
scholar, dedicated to preserving the past, and the other a shape-shifting thief
bent on stealing history for his own gain. Their road together was never easy,
but in the end, love proved too strong for their warring inclinations to
conquer.
This is their story.

Love,
Magic, and Dragons by Cari Z
There’s something
inherently marvelous about dragons. They fill that liminal space between the
fantastic and the real, a spot that could be magical but doesn’t have
to, a creature that just might have existed in the real world but is so
easy to picture in a fantasy realm. They’re powerful, greedy, generous, fierce,
protective, and overwhelming. Dragons have been imagined with every personality
type under the sun, and all of them seem to fit. Dragons can be anything, they
can be everything—they can be the ultimate evil or the perfect love interest.
And if you’ve read any of my work, I think you know which way I chose to
go with dragons, at least this time around.
It's not that I don’t
love the Smaugs and the Fáfnirs of mythology, because I totally do. When I was
figuring out the Luckless books, though, I decided that in a world full
of monsters, I needed some immense and powerful being to be on the side
of humanity, and dragons seemed like the perfect choice. Flying, armored,
fire-breathing badasses swooping down on their fellow rift-side predators in
order to protect the vulnerable inhabitants of their new world…there’s too much
to like. I ran with it, and eventually added my own mythological elements to it
and crafted a love story that has FATE written all over it in glowing lights.
I love a good love story.
That said, I’m not generally into the “fated mates” trope, the sort of thing
where two people (or more, I’m happy with more) get together because destiny
told them to. It’s really not my jam, and yet I made an exception for this
series. Why? I’m not entirely sure. Maybe because in the context of fantasy, fated
mates are easier to accept. Maybe because it just seemed right for these
characters and their epic story. Maybe because I don’t actually dislike the
trope as much as I think I do. Hard to say. But I rolled with it, and made my
dragon (who can take a humanoid form, because there’s monsterfucking and then
there’s anatomically impossible monsterfucking, maybe I’ll delve into
that in a later book) and my human fall hopelessly in love with each other, in
that “together forever” kind of way that makes a good romance novel so
enjoyable to read.
It's magical. That’s the
point. I put these two people in a magical world (it’s a pretty shitty world in
a lot of ways, but there are elements of magic that make it compelling) and
gave them to each other, to rely on and fight for and adore, and they ran with
it. The story is magical, the love is magical…the crap I put them through is
hellish, but even that has some magical results! Dragons, magic, and true love
all wrapped together in a wordy package—it’s one of my favorite things, and
these are some of my favorite stories.
Go and get you some
dragons, friends! They don’t have to be mine—just make sure they’re
magical.
About
the Author:
Cari
Z was a bookworm as a child and remains one to this day. In an effort to combat
her antisocial reading behavior, she did all sorts of crazy things, from
competitive gymnastics to alligator wresting (who even knew that was legal!) to
finally joining the Peace Corps, which promptly sent her and her husband to the
wilds of West Africa, stuck them in a hut, and said, "See ya!" She
also started writing, because some things she just thought she could do better.
She's still climbing that ladder, but can't stop herself from writing, or from
sharing what she creates.
Cari enjoys a wide range of literary genres, from the classics (get em, Ahab)
to science fiction and fantasy of all types, to historical fiction and
reference materials (no, seriously, there are so many great encyclopedias out
there). She writes in a wide range of genres as well, but somehow 90% of what
she produces ends up falling into the broad and exciting category of m/m
erotica. There's a sprinkling of f/m and f/f and even m/f/m in her repertoire,
but her true love is man love. And there's a lot of love to go around.
Cari has published short stories, novellas, and novels with numerous print and
e-presses, and she also offers up a tremendous amount of free content on
Literotica.com, under the name Carizabeth.
