The Shiniest of Scales

The Shiniest of Scales

by

K.V. Wilson

A relentless storm.

A quest to seek survivors.

And a sassy, sarcastic dragon?


Faun telepaths Bay and Thyme traverse a frozen wasteland in search of survivors.

To the north is a harsh blizzard brought to life by a cruel queen. To the east, the land of the elves, if any remain.

But when two enormous dragons descend upon the travellers, the siblings have nowhere to hide...


In this standalone short story prequel to the Apprenticed to the Gods series, prepare for action, adventure, and amusement as the fauns make powerful—and perhaps a little pompous—new allies.

The Apprenticed to the Gods series is a dark high fantasy with romantic subplots (without spice) set in a diverse, vibrant, queer-normative world. It will be a duology accompanied by short stories in the same universe. Check out book one now: To Speak with the Stars!
