The Story Begins…
A fatal accident should have ended her life.
Instead, Sora awakens in a royal maid’s body on Artania—a realm where monsters exist alongside humans who hunt omegas for generations.
When her dance partner’s mask shatters during the Midwinter Ball, revealing the Dragon King himself, silver scales shimmer beneath her skin—exposing her forbidden nature and the very prophesied Luna he’s searched for all his life.
Now caught between Artania’s warring kingdoms, Sora must
Surrender to the dragon’s burning claim, thus saving him and his people
—or deny the fire awakening in her blood and ever finding a way back home.
Beneath Scales and Shadows is a new romantasy standalone that delivers a scorching isekai portal fantasy romance set in a world of warring kingdoms, deadly monsters, light omegaverse themes, and a possessive dragon hero who will set the world ablaze for his mate.
