Since she was born, she has had the strange ability to sense buried things. Cursed to, she would say. From lost keys buried by overexcited dogs to dinosaur bones from the Jurassic period, Maya can find anything, anytime. An abrupt invitation to a potential site near Aztec ruins then pulls Maya to Isla Cozumel, just off of the coast of the mainland. But there's something off about the eerie vegetation and crumbled temples. Something sinister, festering and impatient. The ancient warning texts are enough to unnerve her. Worse, the jade snake that haunts her dreams has begun to leak into the real world. For the first time, Maya has found something that she shouldn't have. [ WORD COUNT : ~ 21 000 ] ▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Where mysterious magic waits for a curse to awaken, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘺 meets 𝘛𝘰𝘮𝘣 𝘙𝘢𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳. ____________________________________ Copyright © 2020 Stacey Willis, Ear to the Serpent.

Love comes in many forms. Speaking about it, imagining it, and melting at the mere prospect of it can leave you giddy with its richness. But defining it, expressing or experiencing it - that's a different game. Elijah - the heir to the throne of Yandestine - is about to play the game, with no knowledge of the rules or boundaries. A game that involves the clashing of naked bodies, the shadows of truth and tears constantly dancing and delving in blood; a beautiful bridge between lust and love. A game that cunningly turns into a battle between gory promises of justice and the painful quivers of breaking hearts, much too quickly. No one will come out the same. Not even you.

Shah Jamshid al-Hassan, king of the Sazian Empire, is dead. He is succeeded by three heirs: Esfandar, the crown prince; Soraya, the forgotten daughter; and Roshani- the one who killed him. Roshani felt no remorse shoving her sword through her father's heart. Nor does she have any doubts about imprisoning her cunning grandmother in the depths of the royal prison, where she can't cause any more trouble. The tyrannical tendencies in the young empress only seem to be tempered by Kasra, her infant half-brother born shortly before the coup. To protect Kasra, Roshani is determined to kill her other siblings and end this conflict once and for all. But spies and betrayers abound in the palace, and Roshani may have more enemies within than without. Esfandar's mind has always been more attuned to war than to the politics behind it. Shocked and outraged by his sisters' betrayals, he seeks to reclaim the throne that is rightfully his. His troops rally in support of their emperor, retaking the north from Roshani's forces. Yet doubt soon creeps into the young prince's mind. As his armies forge ahead, Esfandar will discover that governing and conquering are not one and the same. The large personalities of Esfandar and Roshani have always outshone Soraya in the palace. Neither the shah nor the other palace lords ever concerned themselves with the quiet girl hiding behind her mother's skirts. But now, having escaped Roshani's coup, the empire has been forced to consider Soraya a threat. Protected by the priests and magis of the fire temple, Soraya's claim to the throne is the weakest. Her only hope is a strange power from the gods, one she's not even sure she can control. Three siblings. Three armies. One crown.
