A Thief of Scales and Embers

To save her dying sister, Lyra will steal from anyone—even a dragon.

Bound by a cruel fae bargain, the master thief Lyra of the Silver Hand has one chance to earn her sister’s cure: infiltrate the mountain of Kaelan, the last obsidian dragon, and steal the legendary Heartstone. The mission is impossible. The mountain is a fortress of spell‑woven traps and ancient magic. And Kaelan is a force of nature who has unmade armies for lesser trespasses.

But when Lyra slips past his defenses, she finds not a mindless beast, but a scholar-king tending a fossil with the reverence of a father. He is brilliant, terrifying—and utterly alone.

When Kaelan captures her, he doesn’t kill her. Instead, he offers a bargain of his own: three trials to prove her worth, with a prize far more dangerous than any gem. As wit and courage give way to a raw, shared vulnerability, Lyra begins to see the dragon not as an obstacle, but as a mirror to her own desperate heart.

Then the fae lord’s armies breach the mountain. In the chaos, Lyra must make an impossible choice: seize the Heartstone and save her sister, or stand with the dragon who has become her only ally—and risk losing everything she loves.

A sweeping fantasy of cunning and sacrifice, A Thief of Scales and Embers weaves high‑stakes heists with a slow‑burn romance, perfect for readers who crave fierce heroines, ancient dragons, and love stories forged in fire.
