Books with title The Dragon's Lair

In a war-torn world, a careless act of destruction wakes a creature thought to be myth and legend - a dragon. Mankind unites to battle for survival, but when dragons enter the fray in human form... humans lose. Five decades later, Cecily lives in an enclave with her father and brother. Knowing nothing of life before the war, she placidly obeys the restrictions imposed by dragonkind. Stifled with the tedium of court life, Derek, heir of the Dragon Queen, commits a petty crime. To avoid punishment and chronic boredom, he escapes to the enclave. His arrival sparks increased tension when he meets Cecily. Realizing the extent of limitations on her freedom, Cecily begins to chafe at her lack of liberty, and Derek rebels when he discovers his life is built on a lie. Derek and Cecily's tumultuous friendship threatens to splinter the lines of segregation between their people, but something more dangerous occurs. A mysterious killer stalks the community - and Cecily's mother has disappeared. Cecily and Derek must break the rules and boundaries between their societies to find and stop the murderer before Cecily becomes the next victim.

Released Oct 16, Tibetan Jade, Book 2 in this series. amazon.com/dp/B076DWVQ7MFor 25-year-old Shawn Sullivan, this was to be the day that he would fulfill his lifelong fixation of becoming the first person to reach, and explore the bottom of a mysterious crevasse known as Cap Nord. Ever since he was a child, this crack in the rocky facade of Signal Hill, has drawn him to the entrance like a magnet. One foggy spring morning, when he was ten years old, his obsession with the crevasse almost killed him. While trying to maneuver along a wet overhang with a flashlight, he slipped and landed on a large rock that was sealing off the rest of the crevasse from the prying eyes of the outside world. As he approached his destiny, a presence from within that had haunted him since he was a child, no longer felt friendly. Even though he hesitated for a moment, he knew that it was too late to turn back now. Shawn recognized that if he was to have any chance of peace in his life, he had to face his demon, be it real or imaginary. What he couldn’t know, was if the price for this choice was worth risking the lives of those he loved, and to those who loved him. Either way, he knew that from this point on, his life was never going to be the same again.
