Scales of the Moltherin

In a kingdom shattered by divine wrath, where magic was stolen from human hands and sealed into stones by vengeful gods, one grumpy, black-cat-energy heroine is about to be dragged into a fate she never asked for. After a chance—and chaotic—encounter in the market, our fiercely independent FMC finds herself delivered straight into the hands of the evil king by none other than our equally grumpy, morally gray MMC. Bound together by circumstance and a volatile chemistry neither of them wants to admit, they’re forced into close quarters and a treacherous mission that could reshape the kingdom. But this isn’t just about survival or reluctant teamwork. It’s about a beast—a terrifying creature born of divine punishment, part panther, part serpent, known only as The Moltherin—that prowls the torn lands, guarding the balance left behind by the gods. To restore what was lost, the FMC must track down the scattered magic stones, meant to be placed along the creature’s scales, reigniting the lifeblood of the land. But doing so might destroy the fragile alliances she’s beginning to form—including the one with her maddening captor. Does she choose rebellion and restoration, or submission to the king’s growing darkness? Every path burns. Every choice has a cost. View Less
