Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Bound in Scales (2017) is a fantasy series written by Steven De Luca in which the first book follows Alduce, a human Science Wizard who after a life-changing encounter with a Galdor, a dragon, pursues his life-long passion of completing 'The Atlas of Dragons'—a definitive guide to dragon lore. Using a combination of both sorcery and science, he grants himself the ability to turn into a dragon in order to better study their colony. However after befriending Sunburst, a kindred-spirit and the accidental aquisition of the dragons' most-guarded knowledge, his dragon self becomes more than just an alter ego (quite literally). Following an incident in which Alduce's human identity is revealed to Sunburst, the dragon mysteriously vanishes the day after. Torn between embracing his new-found way of life and continuing his scholarly pursuits, Alduce chooses to leave the dragon colony in search of his friend's whereabouts.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The sequel, Bound in Black (2020) picks up on the story several months after the ending of the first. Its first half is a prequel, revealing the backstory of Galdor the Green and how he ended up imprisoned in Alduce's world. The second half follows Alduce and his companion's visit to Galdor's world where they are entangled in a conspiracy involving Blaze who had declared open war on humanity after taking Galdor's spot as The Leader and the other dragons, who have gone into hiding. | |

Humans Are Bastards | |
| Bound In Scales / int_3d4d3dc9 | comment |
Humans Are Bastards: The entire reason why the dragons have hidden themselves far away from humans is to avoid being hunted by them. Humans are also the people who kidnap Sunburst in the first book to extract his blood as a magic component. | |

The Magic Goes Away | |
| Bound In Scales / int_d91d0365 | comment |
The Magic Goes Away: According to Sunburst and the intrinsic knowledge granted to all dragons at birth, dragons are part of a natural cycle in which they are fated to decline due to humanity and when all dragons are gone, human magic and the fantastical elements of the world disappear as well, to be replaced by technology. | |
