A riveting enemies-to-lovers romanttic fantasy, perfect for fans of Carissa Broadbent, Devney Perry, and Sable Sorenson!

When the first kingdom of Selvarra fell, the ripple that followed reshaped fate itself—awakening something darker.
Despite not knowing her origin, Verena has always been a dreamer, determined to reunite the fractured realms before the world tears itself apart. But fate has other designs. Branded with the mark of The Viper, the ancient curse destined to unravel everything it touches, Verena must face the truth: she was born to destroy the very kingdoms she longs to save. The corruption consuming her veins is growing seductive, becoming impossible to resist. And with every passing breath, she is becoming the nightmare the world already whispers her to be.
Yet deep within the darkness, something else stirs—something older, unbreakable, and defiant of even fate.

Across the realms, Ronan D’Vyre, heir to the dragon kingdom of Ryuu, carries the weight of a crown forged in fire and chains. The dark kingdom has crumbled, and the plague devouring what remains threatens to consume them all. Freedom is the only thing Ronan has ever craved, and he will sacrifice anything to claim it—until his path collides with Verena’s.

To protect his kingdom, he must kill her.
To save her world, she must trust him.
