Book 1 of Reverence & Venom series. ••• Inside a glass box, Taehyung lay curled in on himself, trembling...his breath hitching, soft sobs slipping through parted lips like something breaking. Outside, they gathered. Snakes. Dozens of them. Coils over coils, slick bodies dragging across cold marble, scales whispering against the floor. Black, ivory, venom-green, molten gold...each one moving with slow, deliberate hunger. Some pressed against the glass, tongues flicking, tasting him through an invisible barrier. Others climbed over it, bodies sliding, hissing..low, rhythmic, almost... patient. The room was vast. Windowless and suffocatingly still. And somewhere beyond it all... in the dark where the light failed to reach...someone stood. Watching. Silent. Unmoving. Not a flicker of hesitation. Not a trace of mercy. Just a presence in the dark...waiting...as if the glass wasn't there to protect him at all. ◇◇◇ The pics used in this book are not mine.
