In the frozen breath of the northern steppes, destiny coils like a waiting serpent...
Princess Sagira of Xakaito was never meant to survive. Raised in the citadel's halls as a negotiator but thrust into a world carved by ice, war, and long-forgotten magic, she faces a harsh land where every choice carries a cost-and every alliance hides its own danger. When rising conflicts fracture the kingdom's fragile peace, Sagira's journey begins with a single step beyond the palace walls and into a prologue of snow, blood, and awakening power.
Pulled to the eerie depths of Brileberry Swamp, she encounters Kyklax-an ancient black dragon shrouded in secrets and shadows. What begins as wary coexistence deepens into a bond. Together, they traverse lands teeming with Orcs, Ogres, and worse, treacherous nobles, and long-buried truths that threaten to unravel the kingdom.
From icy plains to clandestine courts, Sagira must navigate political intrigue, forge uneasy alliances, and confront enemies who hunger for her throne. Her path leads into the legendary underground city of Horlok's Spear, where destiny will demand sacrifice, and love-no matter how impossible-may be the only force capable of altering the kingdom's fate.
Where the Scales Meet the Skin is a sweeping fantasy novella of resilience, forbidden romance, and the perilous balance between human hearts and mythical power. In a world where loyalty is tested, magic is dangerous, and love can reshape empires, Princess Sagira must decide how much she is willing to become-and what she is willing to lose-to save her people.
