The Snake God’s 79th Bride

Forced by her aunt to become a sacrifice, Nyra, the orphaned daughter of a fallen noble house, is made the 79th bride of the ruthless Snake God, Apophis. Cursed with a thousand-year poison that chills him to the bone, he has drained the life from all 78 brides before her. Only Nyra, whose body is naturally warm, can ease his torment. As the three-month blood pact nears its deadline, Nyra flees—but when assassins corner her, Apophis bursts through the door to save her. Moved by his fierce devotion, she seeks him out that night and kisses him to share her warmth. Yet just as his fangs are about to sink into her collarbone and claim her as his, Apophis recoils in anguish, terrified of killing the woman he loves. Is their life-or-death bond a trap that will consume Nyra—or the cure that could lead them to true love?
