Meet Lena

In high school, Lena was the golden girl who lit up every room. Her perfect love story with Robert was the envy of every female reptile at Scalesville High. Their story together seemed destined for a bright and beautiful future. But life had other plans. Her senior year was shattered in ways she never expected with the loss of her father to war, and eventual loss of her Homecoming crown.

And then, years later, tragedy struck again. The love of her life, her husband, was gone, leaving her to raise their daughter, Lima, alone.

Through it all, Lena has remained the kind of dragon who stands tall, even when the weight of the past and the demands of the presence threatens to pull her under. She is fiercely devoted to Lima, pouring every ounce of love into her daughter, determined to give her the warmth and family she had before the loss of her father.

Since becoming a widow, Lena has found herself drawn to emotionally distant partners, and Danz is no exception. He isn't much of a family dragon, taking her kindness and devotion for granted while leaving her feeling more alone than ever. The fear of losing another great love keeps her tethered to relationships that are easier to walk away from, yet she remains stuck, pouring energy into fixing what’s broken rather than confronting her own struggles with codependency.

What she doesn’t see is a dragon who has loved her from the shadows for as long as he can remember.

Lena’s journey is one of self-love and healing. Can she break free from the cycle of giving her heart to those who only take, or will she finally face the pain of her past and recognize her own worth? It may not be until she reclaims the part of herself lost to trauma that she realizes the love she desires in a partner has been right beside her all along.
