"★★★★★This is the book that should be getting all the hype. If you love dragons, dragon riders, fae, and high fantasy, you need to get this series!!!"

I was born to ride dragons and no one can steal my fate...

Talia is half-fae. Wrong blood. Wrong ancestors. Wrong everything. She’ll never be allowed to join the Order of the Mist Knights, the dragon riding warriors who defend the kingdom’s wild north coast.

But when the noble female she squires for runs off with a barkeep, she decides to take the noble’s place, risk death by fire, and sneak into the tournament that will name the next Mist Knight.

Full-blooded, noble, and second in command of the Mist Knights, Marius prides himself on living a strictly disciplined life. He has a plan: wed the commander's daughter and rise to his father-in-law's role, but only when the time is right. Marius never saw Tahlia coming…

Tahlia is determined to burn her way into the Mist Knights' world and take that handsome Marius along for the ride.

*Perfect for Fourth Wing fans, this shorter fantasy romance novel with rom-com vibes is an upper YA/NA novel with mature situations and language. No real spice yet, but book two will have a dash of it here and there.

Author Q and A with Alisha

What is your favorite thing about writing?

Hm. Probably researching history for inspiration and crafting new cultures that echo what it is to be a human within varying settings.

What are your favorite fantasy and paranormal authors?

There are so many! I love Tamora Pierce, Leigh Bardugo, Sabaa Tahir, Kristin Cashore, Mercedes Lackey, Juliet Marillier, Deborah Harkness, Diana Gabaldon, JRR Tolkien, Maggie Stiefvater, Cassandra Clare, George RR Martin (but I could do without some of the roughest parts), and Sarah J Maas.

What has helped you so far on your journey as an author?

I joined my local RWA and SCBWI groups and met friends that have taught me, laughed with me, and cried with me. You really can't do this job alone. Not if you want to remain sane. Also, my husband and family are super supportive. It takes a long time to develop writing skills and they had my back the entire time. My husband has the patience of a saint. Seriously, I might put him up for that.

Do you have any advice for writers just starting out?

Grow skin on level with your average Nile crocodile. You are going to get hit in the metaphorical face often. Hard. But if you can get over yourself, you'll learn from it. Stay humble. Keep on trucking. Take a day off and travel sometimes. You must fill the tank to do this. Sorry for two vehicle-related metaphors in the same answer. My b.

The Book Dragon's Hoard by A.V.
5.0 out of 5 stars Made Fourth Wing pale to insignificance
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2024

I absolutely LOVED everything about this very intense read. Thalia wants to be a dragon rider. It’s always been her dream, but the law says only full fae can be riders. She’s half-human.

The worldbuilding is brilliant. The characters are compelling. The romance gives you all the feels. The dragons are incredible and the scenarios involving them believable. This novel offers a beautiful example of what an academy of dragon riders ought to be. This is how an elite squadron of dragon riders should behave, and shows exactly what ought to be important to them. I agree wholeheartedly with this author’s view of what dragon riders are and where their loyalties ought to lie. I loved every minute of this book. I couldn’t put it down. And this is the book that should be getting all the hype.

If you love dragons, dragon riders, fae, and high fantasy, you need to get this series!!!

I really enjoyed this book. Made me feel like I was in a different world. It takes place in a world where fae and humans exist but not together. Thalia is a half-human fae who has a dream of becoming a mist rider (dragon rider) however only pure blood fae may compete to become mist riders. So with the help of her friend Fara (personally my favorite character) she is able to enter. Thalia definitely has a spunky attitude with confidence that I wish I had. After finishing I was left with unresolved issues but luckily the second book is coming out soon so I can’t wait to read it. Spice wise I would give it a 🌶️ 1/5.

This story is reminiscent of A Knight’s tale, but with dragon’s and fae. I enjoyed it, just wish it were a little longer. I felt that it was rushed.

Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2023

The story opens with the fearless and optimistic part Fae Tahlia who has huge plans for her future. She finds herself in an impossible place until one fateful turn of events launches her straight towards her dream. Her full Fae companion Fara has some serious trepidation that her plan will succeed at all, but she relents following her Lady on their new adventure.

Pan to the mountain where we find Marius the handsome and ambitious High Captain of the Mist Knights. He on the other hand has worked out the perfect plan to move his life and career forward. He has made peace with the fact it will cost him love and full happiness.

Tahlia's goal is to make it to the tournament to try her luck and skill to become the next Mist Knight. While in awe of the arena she accidentally meets Marius and lets say leaves an impression. As the two cross paths fate steps in for the both of them changing their futures.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story because it was a great mix and comedy and some spice thrown in. It was so good I finished it in less than a day. I would definitely recommend this book

I was hooked at first, the story had a very promising plot, but the last 20% of the book went downhill. Fast. It felt like the author rushed the ending and didn't bother actually writing out a proper ending. This book could have been so much better.

I loved the plot! Of course as a novella it was fast moving and too quick for my liking as I felt this in itself could have been a full novel but I’m excited for the book 1!

"I absolutely love this author. I decided to start reading the Bound By series from book 1 because of my admiration for this author. The story of Tahlia and Marius in this book is simply fantastic. Even though they started off on the wrong foot due to their contrasting personalities, the book was hilarious and so captivating that I couldn't put it down. I felt sad when it ended because the characters were so well-written that I wanted to read more about them."

I’m in love😍 I love how this is a grumpy and sunshine couple and I love how Tahlia is so courageous and loveable and cares for everyone. I also love how this is the beginning of a love story and there’s still her best friend helping her with her crazy ideas and not leaving (sadly often the best friend character gets left out of everything and this isn’t the case here at all)
Definitely a must read. I’m now starting the next book❤️

I loved this story so much! From the various characters to the bonds with their dragons. I found this book to be funny, cute, amazing, and well written. The spice in the book was sprinkled well since relationships are greatly built. I love how Tahlia and Marius' relationship developed. Was super sweet and adorable. Tahlia is such a strong character who is tough and knows what she wants, even with following her heart - I found her to be smart and really likeable. Farah was so funny and such a good friend to Tahlia. Aww and the ending had me in tears, it was so good! Will read more from this author just need to finish the Bound by series first
