Dragon Fairy Tales

Dragon Hoard: Dragon Fairy Tales 1 - 6

Would you sell your soul to save your skin?

The innkeeper’s daughter dreams of a dashing knight and beautiful dresses, but her father marries her off to a lazy woodcutter. So she takes matters—and her husband’s stolen guilders—into her own hands.

Little does she know that greed is contagious and his disease has woken the dragon.

Can she trick the dragon into leaving his treasure with her and taking back his scales or will this disease ruin even her modest home?

With the second stand-alone Dragon Fairy Tale, D. C. Harrell can make you snicker, but don’t take it too lightly. This dragon knows how to negotiate and when he seals a deal, he sears it in fire.

If you like a slightly sarcastic medieval narrator, this is the magical woods for you.

A Deal is a Deal

Talk is not cheap! 

Stutter is the fourth of twelve sons and no one ever listens to him. So when he warns his brothers to stay on the serpent-blaze trail, they ignore him, straying into dangerous territory. 

Something is out there. It hunts them through the forest. 

Can Stutter talk them back to safety? 

In this third stand-alone Dragon Fairy Tale, D. C. Harrell weaves a world of power and spin. But beware the effects of dragonwear. According to Stutter’s grandma, a cunning mind might prove useful in politics, but it interferes dreadfully with one’s sleep. 

If you like clever heroes with just as much brains as brawn, this is the adventure for you.

Dragon Wear

Save the baby. Save the world. 

Tungel is pregnant, and the baby’s father is absent. As her contractions escalate, way-drakes slither closer, scorching the furniture and threatening to set the house on fire.

The fire dragons thirst for her baby’s blood. Tungel must flee to the river or burn alive with the child.

Her parents insist that she sacrifice the baby to save herself. She refuses, appealing to star magic and her beloved’s promise to protect her.

Will her lover arrive in time to stop this drake-take?

With the fourth stand-alone Dragon Fairy Tale, D. C. Harrell wrings you out like a mop, but don’t read it if you take your super girls sanitized. This heroine’s journey into young adulthood is a mess of mythical animals, afterbirth and blood-power.

If you like stubborn heroines who fight through murky magic, then Drake Take is the wild water for your next swim.

Drake Take

Well behaved women seldom make handbags. 

Rohi hates handbags, but Mama insists she learn to handcraft one. First she must hunt a dragon; then fashion her own lady-case from its hide. 

But Rohi’s convinced that following this tradition won’t really help the family purse business stay afloat or satisfy her mother, much less herself. What she craves is respect, not pretty-pretty accessories. So she steals her uncle’s airboat and navigates deep into the Erbwaters swamp. 

Will she earn the regard of a legendary dragon hunter or die trying to save the family business on her own? 

With the fifth stand-alone Dragon Fairy Tale, D. C. Harrell stokes your fire for freedom, but don’t stray too close to the water unless you’re willing to swim with the dragons. 

Do you like relentless heroines and a touch of romance in your dragon hunts? Then this is a coming-of-age adventure for you.

Drakonian Pink

The bigger the hair, the stronger the stare. 

While her parents are fishing, Amma feeds her seven siblings and readies them for school each morning. She doesn’t have time for intricate hairstyles, but Grandma insists that pretty locks, not an education, will impress potential suitors and stop the neighbors’ gossip. 

When Amma’s mother is killed by a pterodactyl-like targon on the Kongamato River, Amma drops out of high school to care for the family. Faced with dwindling resources, Amma must retreat to Grandma’s tidy plans or brave the dragon that terrorized her mama. 

Will Amma trust to Grandma’s tradition or believe her own eyes? 

With the sixth stand-alone Dragon Fairy Tale, D. C. Harrell lures you through the cryptid legends of Africa, but hide your eyes if you take your supergirls nice and neat. This coming-of-age heroine will put the “bad” back into your hair day.

Do you revel in the strange worlds of Nnedi Okorafor? Then this is the enchanted country for you.
