Black Scales is a fast-paced, high-stakes, action-packed adventure set in a magical world of dragons, sorcerers, and shape-shifters. Told through multiple perspectives, Black Scales will keep you guessing till the end.

“From the day Odysseus began his journey home, the storyteller has used fantasy to explore the human condition. Black Scales examines how loss and grief can transform a person and a society, and whether or not it's ever too late to choose a new path,” said Agapoff.
