About this ebook

Princess Cyrelle has always been faithful and true to her family, country, and Goddess. But now her brother, King Elias of Cicia, has asked for—no, commanded—her hand in marriage.

Desperate to avoid this incestuous union, Cyrelle requests a series of increasingly impossible gifts and petitions the Goddess for a sign to sway her resolute brother’s proposal. As Elias persists undeterred, Cyrelle must risk everything to escape the only life she’s ever known.

Soon, she becomes Green Scales, hiding and struggling to survive on her own, far across the galaxy. But Phau isn’t the peaceful refuge Cyrelle had hoped for, and when the leader of its burgeoning rebel faction recognizes the runaway princess, she is forced to choose between safety and freedom. With the fate of two kingdoms on the line and nowhere left to run, Cyrelle must decide what it means to be true to herself, to her people, and to her heart.

“An expansive original parable of sapphic yearning, mistakes and redemption, and—most importantly—the fight for freedom.” —Florence Chien, author of The Revenant of Surolifia

“A tour de force that pulses with political intrigue.” —Jason Denzel, author of The Mystic Trilogy

“A wholly unique and positively delightful read!” —T.A. Chan, author of The Celestial Seas
