Welcome to Tarakona, a planet where dragons are full of magic that only wizards can use. Hidden deep in a catacomb beneath Valiant City, Tarakona hosts a dimensional portal that connects to Earth, near the wild, wonderful city of Magic, New Mexico, a shared world helmed by author SE Smith.
The Dragons of Tarakona is a growing fantasy romance series by authors Jody Wallace and DB Sieders. Each book is lovingly crafted by one of the authors while the other one sends constant emails and texts like ‘is it done yet’ and ‘don’t forget to put that thing about the thing’ and ‘is it done yet can i read it?’ So far in the series we have: Silver Bound, Silver Unleashed, Red at Night, Red in the Morning, Gold Rush, Gold Fever, Blue Streak, and Blue Guard (with Enchanted Pearl and Pearl of Wisdom coming soon). See our theme yet? 🙂 Each cover below leads to full blurbs and buy links.

FAQs about Dragons of Tarakona!
Q1) What is the general premise of your world of Tarakona?
A1) Thank you for asking, Dana! I mean, random reader! In Tarakona, people are all born human. During their tumultuous teen years, every single person comes into their variant. They stay human or become a dragon or wizard. Dragon shifters are full of magical powers…but that power can only be accessed by Tarakonan wizards. As such, wizards on Tarakona are the top brass, and they “own” dragons and use their magic in various ways, while poor ole humans scrabble around and try to make ends meet. And some wizards, I am sure, are good people.
Q2) What is this place on Earth where the dragons keep ending up?
A2) The shared world of Magic, New Mexico, is a brain child of author SE Smith, who created a mythical and protected sanctuary for all not-totally-evil types of supernatural and alien beings. Magic is protected by a barrier that protects its diverse inhabitants. Inside this shared world, many varieties of characters and stories have been born, and our stories involve dragon shifters and wizards from the world of Tarakona who just so happen to have a portal between the dimensions that is close enough to Magic for the plots to be realistic. As realistic as completely made up supernatural magic magic SCIENCE magic stuff can be!
Q3) What color is next?
A3) No idea! Green. No, orange. I like brown. Maybe PINK! (THERE ARE NO PINK DRAGONS STOP IT)
