MOTHSCALE

MOTHSCALE: The Secret of Hanalei-Uko

A luminous creature. An ancient island. A boy with a destiny he never asked for.

Twelve-year-old Jace never wanted to start over. Not after losing everything he loved. But when he's sent to live with his grandparents on the remote island of Hanalei-Uko, he finds himself trapped somewhere that feels less like paradise and more like exile. No Wi-Fi. No city noise. No escape. Just endless fields, whispering forests, and old shrines no one talks about.

But Hanalei-Uko isn't what it seems.
The island hums. It watches. It waits.

During a stormy night, Jace uncovers a glowing egg buried beneath an ancient shrine-an egg that hatches into Mothscale, a tiny, breathtaking Lunari Drakothus, a mythical dragon-moth once believed to be extinct. With shimmering wings, curved horns, and a strange moonlit glow, Mothscale bonds to Jace instantly. Not like a pet... like something deeper. Something ancient.

As the bond grows, Jace learns the truth:
The Lunari Drakothus choose only one guardian-a Watcher, protector of their hidden nesting grounds. And the last one was his mother.

But someone else has been watching too.

A smooth-talking developer named Mr. Crayle arrives with drones, survey crews, and a smile sharp enough to cut steel. He claims he wants to "modernize" the island, but his maps, traps, and mercenaries tell a darker story. Crayle isn't building resorts-he's hunting legends. And Mothscale is his ultimate prize.

As smoke creeps through the forests and artificial moonvines lure creatures from hiding, Jace is thrust into a battle far older than the island itself. With the help of his loyal but reluctant friend Niko, his wise grandmother Malia, and the secrets left behind by his mother, Jace must unlock the power of the shrines, decipher the ancient Mothblood legacy, and learn what it truly means to protect something fragile... and fiercely powerful.

Because the Lunari are waking.
The island is stirring.
And fire-old fire-is rising.

When Crayle's final trap sets the forest ablaze, the shrines ignite with living light. Mothscale and her kin answer the call, unleashing a breathtaking wingsong that bends fire, reveals truth, and changes the fate of the island forever. But even victory has consequences. In the shadows of a distant lab, a second egg glows red, and dark forces prepare for their next move.

Epic, magical, and emotionally charged, MOTHSCALE: The Secret of Hanalei-Uko is perfect for fans of Wings of Fire, Nevermoor, and How to Train Your Dragon.
A story about grief, courage, ancient magic-and the small creature that teaches a boy how to hope again.

The bond has awakened.
The island has chosen.
And Jace's journey is only just beginning.
