A story under the Pale Ring...

Everyone knows that green scale kobolds are the most vile, dangerous, and cruel of all dragonkin - wretched monsters who leave little more than death and devastation in their wake. Even so, when huntress Amelia Lanswel discovers an abandoned green scale hatchling, small, scared, and alone, in the woods outside of Addernotch, she does not hesitate to take him in.

Raised by humans and loved fiercely by his mother, the kobold, named Skunk, lives a happy and carefree life as a hunter and a helper at the local schoolhouse, oblivious to the turnings of the world. But when the insatiable hunger of his forgotten origins tear apart the fragile facade of his idyllic life, the young dragonkin will be forced to not only reckon with his true nature, but also his place in a world which despises everything he is.
