Returning Wings to the Dragon. Book 1

Only a true matching pair will return wings to a dragon. And so, the shapeshifters travel in search of the one who belongs to them between worlds—those deprived of their dragon form. One of them chose me, and that’s how I ended up in a completely different world. Everything would be fine, but in exchange for the wings he needs not only love, but also my life… Listen, dragon! I’m not agreeing to that!

«— Oh, girls, what a blonde is standing at the bar counter over there, — Lisa sighed.

— Who said anything about no more blondes after the last one broke your heart? — Vera snorted. — And why are you so quiet today, Marina?

I reached for my glass and moistened my throat.

— It’s the same thing again.

— So you didn’t take the manuscript again? — Vera panicked. — What’s going on!

— Yeah, — I gulped down the drink, — they sent another rejection. They say the manuscript is good, high-quality, but not “in format” for the publishing house.

— Well, fuck them! Another way sooner or later, and on our street there’ll be a truck full of candy canes, — Lisa poured wine into the glasses. — Let’s go all out today, okay? It’s Friday, and at home no one is waiting for us.

— Go on a binge? — Vera giggled.

— Marina, don’t be sour! Forget about failures at least for today. Let loose, relax—and tomorrow with renewed strength at the typewriter and cranking out bestsellers.

— After a full-on binge, I can only sit there hugging the toilet, not work, — I replied gloomily.

— No way! With this mood we won’t have a fun Friday! Come on, to the bottom! And order another bottle, and then to the club. And so that each of you leaves there with someone.

— What?! — I choked.

— That! — Lisa cut it short. — So you show up at the club cheerful and leave with someone on your arm. They say sex clears your mind even better. Maybe you just need something like that right now—for inspiration?»
