With an armored, oath-bound hero reminiscent of The Mandalorian and the Asian-inspired epic fantasy of She
Who Became the Sun, Neon Yang's Brighter than Scale, Swifter than Flame is a stunning Queer novella about
a dragon hunter finding home with a dragon queen
Yeva was thirteen when she killed her first dragon.
With her gift revealed, she was shipped away to the imperial capital to train in the rare art of dragon slaying.
Now a legendary guildknight, she has never truly felt at home ever since that fateful day all those years ago. But
she doesn't need a home when she has her sacred duty. She has devoted herself wholly to the cause—she
never even removes her armor in public. Few remember the girl she once was. She rarely remembers herself.
Yeva must now go to Quanbao, a fiercely independent and reclusive kingdom. It is rumored that there, dragons
are not feared as is right and proper—but instead loved and worshipped. It is rumored that there, they harbor
a dragon behind their borders.
While Yeva searches for the dreaded beast, she is welcomed into the palace by Quanbao's monarch, Lady
Sookhee. Though wary of each other, Yeva is shocked to find herself slowly opening up to the beautiful,
mysterious queen.
Will Yeva forsake her sacred duty and let Lady Sookhee see the person behind the armor, or will she cling to
the ideals that she has called home for so long?
