She was only a woman... with a poison... with a secret... and a kiss that made her a legend.

As a Dark Sister, an assassin and poisoner with magic in her blood, Roksana has lived by secrecy and silence. Disguised as a healer in the dwarven kingdom, she hides behind good deeds, but no life saved can erase the assassin’s mark burned into her skin.

When her former master discovers her, the price of freedom is brutally simple: kill the War King, the man she swore never to touch.

But the War King refuses to die. Surviving the poison meant to end him, and with a berserker caged beneath his skin, his mercy is as dangerous as his revenge.

Now hunted by his enemies and betrayed by the very magic she cannot control, Roksana must join forces with the man she tried to destroy.

And when his hand closes around her throat, naming her His Viper, she faces an impossible choice:

Tame her magic and save his kingdom… or die trying.

Blending the grit of The Witcher with the found family banter and intrigue of Six of Crows and the slow-burn passion of Daughter of No Worlds, this adult high fantasy romance delivers everything romantasy readers crave: a morally grey assassin heroine in her thirties with deadly secrets, a cursed king whose love language is obsession, and a slow burn enemies-to-lovers bond that burns into spice against the backdrop of a Slavic-inspired kingdom steeped in betrayal and dangerous magic.
