The bestselling first book in the Dragon Scales duology, in which long-banished dragons, revered as gods, return to the mortal realm—now in paperback with a new glossary and timeline.

Long ago, humans betrayed dragons, stealing their magic and banishing them to a dying world. Centuries later, their descendants worship dragons as gods. But the "gods" remember, and they do not forgive.

Thief Arcady scrapes a living on the streets of Vatra. Desperate, Arcady steals a powerful artifact from the bones of the Plaguebringer, the most hated person in Lumet history. Only Arcady knows the artifact's magic holds the key to a new life among the nobles at court and a chance for revenge.

The spell connects to Everen, the last male dragon foretold to save his kind, dragging him through the Veil. Disguised as a human, Everen soon learns that to regain his true power and form and fulfil his destiny, he only needs to convince one little thief to trust him enough to bond completely--body, mind, and soul—and then kill them.

Yet the closer the two become, the greater the risk both their worlds will shatter.

L.R. Lam

L.R. Lam

L.R. Lam’s journey from sunny California to the cloudy skies of Scotland might seem like a dramatic change, but in many ways, it’s a reflection of her writing—a blend of the bright, expansive possibilities of the American West with the rich, storied landscapes of the Scottish Highlands. A Sunday Times bestselling author, Lam is known for her evocative, genre-blending tales that span fantasy, science fiction, and romance, with a particular knack for blending complex characters and immersive worlds.

Her debut novel, Pantomime, marked the beginning of the Micah Grey series, which introduced a world of circuses, secrets, and self-discovery, featuring one of the few intersex protagonists in young adult fiction. This story broke boundaries, offering readers an unflinching look at identity, gender, and the power of transformation. The trilogy—Pantomime, Shadowplay, and Masquerade—was widely praised for its depth and emotional resonance, and it cemented Lam as a voice to watch in the world of speculative fiction.

Lam’s Dragonfall kicks off The Dragon Scales Trilogy, a captivating epic fantasy that weaves together romance, adventure, and the long-awaited return of dragons revered as gods. The series combines slow-burn character development with sprawling world-building, creating an atmosphere that pulls readers in from the very first page. With Goldilocks and the Seven Devils series (co-written with Elizabeth May), Lam proves she’s equally adept at near-future space thrillers and feminist space opera, balancing high-stakes action with complex, multidimensional characters.

Beyond novels, Lam’s short fiction has appeared in several well-regarded anthologies, from Nasty Women to Solaris Rising 3 and Cranky Ladies of History, contributing to her reputation as a versatile writer with a unique voice. Whether she’s telling stories of fantastical realms, exploring the vastness of space, or writing with her romance pen name, Laura Ambrose, Lam has made a space for herself in the world of literature that is impossible to ignore.

In addition to her writing, Lam is an educator, serving as a lecturer at Edinburgh Napier University and Programme Leader of the Creative Writing MA. Her passion for teaching and storytelling comes together in the classroom, where she nurtures the next generation of writers while continuing to craft her own captivating tales.

L.R. Lam’s work is a celebration of the unexpected—of the bold, the diverse, and the transformative. For those seeking stories that are both daring and intimate, her books offer a deep, immersive experience unlike any other.
