Lenora has nothing left to lose in a desperate last attempt to find her vanished father as she leaps into a world where warring Gods and blood magic dictate the fate of all. When the enigmatic leader of the rebellion against the Gods takes her under his wing, Lenora makes a bargain she thinks will lead her closer to her father.
But her bargain only seems to bring her closer to the rebel leader and closer to unraveling what she had thought was the truth of her family.
Will Lenora be able to face her own past when it means facing that the man she has fallen for is her enemy? With the fate of the realm in her hands, can she follow her heart when she’s only ever known lies from those she loves?
Explore the boundaries of loyalty, family, and sacrifice in this fantasy romance with a morally gray MMC and all the tropes we love to love enemies to lovers, only one bed, forced proximity, fake relationship, and he falls first.

Tbh I'm not a snake girlie but it was still a good read! Really enjoyed it being a standalone fantasy - those seem to be hard to come by! A unique and very cool magic system too!
