In the glittering kingdom of Aurelion, King Lucien Avelar rules with ruthless precision. Feared in the underworld as The Viper King, he hides a violent empire beneath his golden throne—where loyalty is bought in blood, and betrayal is answered with fire.
Elara Vale is just trying to survive. An orphan with no past and no name, she lives far from royal halls, unaware that her blood carries a secret—one that could reshape the kingdom. When fate throws her into Lucien’s path, she becomes a pawn in a dangerous game of politics, war, and power… until she begins to rewrite the rules.
