The moon was being devoured.
Estranged from birth and raised on tales of the
great mountain castle of Idrith-Core, where her distant father
serves as Lord Commander and confidante of the King, Aledra
Jewel-Wing was now going there to court.
As one of the Drakkoni, a race of powerful
shape-shifters and conquerors of a wild land, she joins her
stepmother at the festival for all peoples. But when in attempting
to save a life, Aledra shifts into her Drakkoni Secondskin – her
beautiful soul-double: a fearsome creature with flaming breath –
she breaks an ancient oath, and the tremulous peace between the
Drakkoni and Esrans is shattered.
Branded a fugitive, hunted by her father, and
aided in escape by the master-mancer who raised her, Aledra begins
a journey for survival across a war-torn continent.
Sue says 'When inspiration is needed, roll
out the notebooks, coloured pencils and chocolate
peanuts!'

part of my stock-in-trade. To begin with, I must strive to believe
my own lies. It’s important that my characters become so convincing

What readers are saying about Second Skin
Great to see Second Skin already making an
appearance on bookstagram!
'Love, love, love this book. 5 stars. The end! This is my
first read from Sue Bentley. It certainly won't be my
last.'
5 stars, Jessica
Belmont, Amazon customer
'There is love, there is war, there are dragons and
tribes, and a girl who wants nothing more than to have the freedom
to choose.'
Haley Renee
@Dramahuman31
'Sue Bentley has created a cool world in Second Skin. It
will only get better in future novels.'
4
stars, @booksletusescape
Bookstagrammer
'Having long been a fan of
shapeshifting characters in all manner of books, I thought I knew
what to expect, but in the Drakkoni, Sue Bentley has created a far
more complex race than your average shifter. The drama
intensifies steadily
throughout.'
