The Naga Sisters Chronicles: Book One: Scales of Destiny (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798245261041)

Chanda Seang spent fourteen years raising her five younger sisters after their mother's death, sacrificing everything to keep her family together. The last thing she expected was to die with them in a car accident during a Cambodian heritage trip-or to wake up underwater in the body of a serpent princess with gold and azure scales. Now she and her sisters must fulfill an ancient prophecy: each must bond with a human partner to anchor the rising land into existence and create Cambodia itself. Refuse, and everyone they've ever known-including their grieving father-will simply cease to exist. But when an impulsive Indian prince dives off his ship to meet her and fire demons attack their bonding ceremony, Chanda realizes the prophecy requires more than duty. It demands she do the one thing she's never allowed herself: trust someone else with her heart.

As political factions plot to stop the prophecy and Asura armies gather to destroy the emerging nation, Chanda must navigate court intrigue, deadly trials, and her growing feelings for a man she's known less than a month. Her control-freak instincts scream that falling in love this fast is impossible-but the magic responds only to truth, and time is running out. With her sisters' lives hanging in the balance and an entire world's existence at stake, Chanda faces an impossible choice: open herself completely to love and vulnerability, or watch everything she's ever fought to protect disappear like it never existed at all.
