Verena was never meant to survive.
Cursed by an ancient darkness known only as the Viper, she has spent her life hiding the monster slowly unraveling beneath her skin. But when kingdoms begin to fall and long-buried powers awaken, Verena finds herself hunted not only for what she is-but for what she could become.
Ronan, the Dragon Prince of Ryuu, was raised for one purpose: kill the girl destined to destroy their world. Yet the closer he gets to Verena, the more dangerous she becomes-not just to the realm, but to him.
As dark gods stir, alliances fracture, and the line between hero and villain begins to blur, Verena must decide whether to fight the darkness inside her... or finally let it consume her.
Perfect for readers who love dark romantasy, morally gray characters, enemies-to-lovers tension, dragons, cursed heroines, and slow-burn romance.
