Scales and Steel

He was sent to cut out the monster’s heart, not lose his to it. Sir Finnian Brightmoor has one mission: slay the golden dragon and rescue the lost princess. But fairy tales have a nasty habit of leaving out the truth. The princess isn’t helpless. The dragon refuses to fight. And the “beast” is actually Prince Cedric—cursed, grieving, and far more interested in whittling wood than killing knights. Finn should finish the quest. He should serve his king. Instead, he finds himself falling for the man beneath the scales. The crown demands Cedric’s death. Finn’s oath demands obedience. And in this kingdom, believing the wrong version of the truth can turn a hero into a villain. Fans of T. Kingfisher’s soft-but-deadly romances, Freya Marske’s queer enchantment, and the emotional intimacy of Everina Maxwell will fall headlong into Scales and Steel. Begin the adventure now.
