War of Stone and Scales: Volume 1 of Book 1 of The Anura Chronicles

Zammus Dre' Suel, first degree navigator of the Mantis desires nothing more than to retire from his life at sea and marry his fiancé, but at the behest of his captain he is given a new assignment and embarks on his latest mission. During this enterprise, an incomprehensible force rips him from his world and inter-dimensionally transports him to an entirely different existence, one governed by dragons. Sophisticated, cultured and highly advanced dragons.

With seemingly no means of survival, Zammus has to reshape his understanding of everything he thinks he knows about reality if he is going to survive in this hellish waste where molten lava is sustenance, trees grow from krystal, gods roam in the flesh and everything it appears wants him dead.

To compound his dilemma, Zammus realizes that his presence is linked to a mysterious source hundreds of miles beneath the surface of this alien world, and as a result, he inevitably sets the forces of an unknown reality in motion. As Zammus tries to figure out how to survive and calibrate in this world of dragons, serpents and other predatory reptiles, the forces of nature and divinity torment and wrench him at every turn. He finds himself caught between new cultures, perilous scandals, and a merciless slew of never-ending battles.

All around gods watch, scheming in the background; pulling the infinite strings of divinity, intersecting lives and circumstances in a meticulous, sardonic array.
