This week, Kiya travelled up to Edinburgh to attend the launch of Dragonfall, the first in the new epic fantasy Dragon Scales trilogy by L.R. Lam.

The launch took place at Waterstones West End, located in the heart of Edinburgh on Princes Street, which undoubtedly has the best view of any bookshop we’ve been to! Overlooking Edinburgh Castle, it was lovely to see so many posters in the shop promoting the Q&A event, and to see so many people attend and ask thoughtful questions as we overlooked Edinburgh Castle was truly magical.

The Q&A was excellently chaired by P. M. Freestone, who chatted with L about their research process, their highlights from the book’s journey, and the inspiration behind the novel. There were so many fans in attendance, all of whom asked funny, inquisitive, and insightful questions, and who formed a long queue to have their copies signed after the Q&A!

L also brought along incredible dragon temporary tattoos and character art cards by the brilliant artist Laya Rose.

You can order Dragonfall at Amazon andWaterstones.

About Dragonfall:

The last male dragon. A desperate thief. A bond that will save the world… or shatter it.

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.

Since they were orphaned, Arcady has scraped a living thieving on the streets of Vatra, dreaming of life among the nobility - and revenge. When the chance arises to steal a powerful artefact from the bones of the Plaguebringer, the most hated person in Lumet history, they jump at it, for its magic holds the key to their dreams.

But the spell has unintended consequences, and drags Everen - the last male dragon, who was once foretold to save his kind - into the human world. Trapped, and disguised as a human, Everen soon realises that the key to his destiny, and to regaining his true power, lies in Arcady.

All he needs to do is convince one little thief to bond with him completely - body, mind, and soul - and then kill them.

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