Scale of a Dragon

A Beyond the Veil Story

Callen has known only cold: the icy winters of Ebonwood, the bitter commands of her father, and a life spent bowing to the whims of wizards who see her as lesser. But when a wounded dragon crashes into the snow near her cottage, Callen makes a choice that defies everything she’s been taught. She heals the beast—an act that could cost her life. Instead, it grants her freedom. For the dragon she saves is daughter to Seba’an, Alderdrache of legend. And the gift he offers in return exposes a horrifying truth: her father’s voice, his cruelty, his commands… they were all echoes of a curse cast from beyond the grave. With a dragon’s scale in her hands and her past finally unveiled, Callen steps into a world where truth is colder than winter—and far more liberating.
