Format: Hardcover - After Dark (Spicy) Bespoke Paperback - Fade to Black

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.

Scales & Steel is a romantasy filled with danger, political tension, heartbreak, violence, and a slow-burn queer romance that deepens into something life-shattering.

How do I get my free ebook?

Every special edition comes with the ebook, free—no extra step at checkout. Right after you order, you'll get an email from BookFunnel with your download link. BookFunnel lets you send the book to just about any device or app (Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo, your phone, you name it), and if it ever gives you trouble, their support team is lovely and will sort you out. So even if your hardcover is still at the printer, you can start reading immediately.

When will my order ship?

It depends on the book. I keep many of my special editions on hand, and when I've got your book on the shelf, I ship it out within a few days of your order—sometimes faster! If a title has sold through my stock, it gets printed to order, and that runs about 5–6 weeks before it's on its way to you. Either way, your ebook arrives instantly (see below), so you can dive into the story tonight while the physical book makes its way to you.

Where do you ship?

I currently ship to the United States, Canada, and Australia. If you're outside those regions and dying to get your hands on a special edition, drop me a line. I can't promise anything, but I like knowing where my readers are, and it helps me plan future shipping.

Are these books signed?

Whenever I ship a book to you myself, I sign it. So if the book's on my shelf when you order, it'll arrive signed. The exception is when a title has sold through my stock and gets printed to order and shipped from the printer or a fulfillment center. There's no way to know at checkout which one you'll get, so I can't promise a signature on every order. But if signed copies matter to you, ordering a title I have in stock is your best bet, and you're always welcome to email me before you buy to ask what's on hand.
