Throwback Thursday – Dark Fire

By Cynthia Sax on October 26, 2023

Dare, the hero of Dark Fire, is a dragon-like alien male. He has scales. He can breathe fire. He runs hot. In all ways. (grins)

And he tends to fry his romantic partners. Not in a fun way.

Faylee doesn’t know this. All she knows is she’s extremely attracted to the big, strong warrior.

And she has the irresistible urge to steal from him.

Dark Fire Alien Romance

Dark Fire

What the Beast wants, the Beast gets.

Dare’s savage nature has made him an outcast among his kind. The silver-scaled Dracheon warrior can’t control his inner beast. It’s too strong. When his primitive instincts told him his destined mate was on Carinae E, he had no choice. He had to travel to the outlaw planet. There, he hoped to meet a female powerful enough to survive his Drache.

He finds Faylee, a delicate little human.

Faylee is the best thief on the planet. Everyone she encounters mistakes her for a young boy…except for a tall, shiny warrior from off-planet. When she gazes into Dare’s flame-filled eyes, he makes her feel, for the first time, like a desirable female. The fire-breathing male has her yearning for hot kisses, fierce embraces, and a future filled with love. She doesn’t realize mating with him might be the last thing she ever does.

Dare’s beast isn’t the only danger on the planet. An enemy from the past has returned and he’s determined to stop Dare and Faylee…permanently. They’ll need luck and the assistance of every warrior in the Refuge to stay alive.

Dark Fire is a STANDALONE SciFi Romance set in a gritty, dark world.

Throwback Thursday – Dark Fire

By Cynthia Sax on March 23, 2023

Dark Fire combines many of my favorite types of stories.

It has a dragon-like hero. It is an alien romance. The hero is a warrior. The heroine is a thief. There is plenty of action and heated encounters and a dash of humor.

It is a fun, thrilling story and I think you’ll really enjoy it!

I LOVE Dracheon warriors! They can breathe fire, sport scales, have claws and are oh-so-primitive. Dare, the hero of Dark Fire, is a Dracheon warrior who can’t control his inner Drache (dragon).

And Faylee, his human mate, LOVES this about him. She lives on the streets and can benefit from a big tough protector.

This is literally a beauty and the beast story. (grins)

I LOVE dragons. (grins) I know that doesn’t surprise you. The first published Cynthia Sax story was a short dragon shifter romance.

Dare, the hero of Dark Fire, isn’t a dragon shifter. He comes from an alien species with dragon-like characteristics. He can breathe fire, has claws, sports dragon scales.

And his heroine, Faylee, loves this. She would happily gaze into Dare’s flame-filled eyes forever.

I LOVE dragons. (grins) You might have noticed that. The Dracheons are alien versions of dragons. They don’t shift into full dragon form but they do breathe fire, they have scales and they are extremely primitive and possessive.

Dare, the hero of Dark Fire, is a Dracheon warrior. His damsel fully capable of getting her own self out of distress is Faylee. She provokes the beastly passion in him.

By Cynthia Sax on January 14, 2021

It is still dang cold in my corner of the universe. I’m wearing my fingerless gloves as I type this. So I thought we could heat ourselves up by reading about a fire-breathing hero. (grins)

Dare, the Dracheon warrior hero in Dark Fire, is a nod to dragon shifters. That means he can breathe fire, which I think is super cool… or, rather, super hot (laughs at my own silly joke).

Faylee, his heroine, is like me. She is often cold. Faylee appreciates Dare’s fire-breathing abilities and how he can heat her up in all sorts of sexy ways.

Throwback Thursday A Day Late – Dark Fire

By Cynthia Sax on September 11, 2020

I lost track of the days again. Having day-specific posts during a period when no one knows what day it is might have been a bad idea. (sheepish grin)

Anyhoo…

I LOVE dragons. My first published story as Cynthia Sax was a medieval dragon shifter romance (that story has been greatly expanded and will be re-released under C.S. Sax this month). Dragons are big, bad, primitive and they breathe FIRE. I find that to be so very awesome.

Dare, the Dracheon warrior hero in Dark Fire, is a nod to dragon shifters. He can’t shift into dragon form. I haven’t yet figured out a plausible scientific explanation for that. But he CAN breathe fire, he can cover his hunky body with scales, and he has talons. Plus he has the same primitive nature.

Faylee, his heroine, is one of the best thieves on Carinae E. She is tiny and quick and Dare’s inner beast definitely sees her as prey. There’s a bit of capture fantasy in Dark Fire. These two are HOT together.

Love dragon shifters?
I do too!

Veronica Scott asked some of us about the appeal of dragon shifters.

Here’s a snippet from my answer…
“My very first published story featured a dragon-shifter hero. I love them THAT much. Dragons are big and bad and primitive, at the top of the food chain. They have hoarding tendencies, which means they’re very protective of the things and beings they consider to be theirs. I find that really sexy. Dragon-shifter stories also have built-in tension, especially in a futuristic sci-fi worlds, as dragon shifters are often in conflict with more evolved, modern beings.”
