("When love breaks the laws of gods and mortals, even death must bow.")
Born within castle walls, Lily spent her life surrounded by silence - forbidden forests, hidden secrets, and dreams she couldn't understand. But one night, her fate changes when she saves a white serpent trapped in the vines of a dying tree.
The serpent's eyes burn red - and when they meet hers, the curse begins to unravel.
Drawn into a world of ancient spirits and lost gods, Lily discovers a truth buried deep within her blood: she is the daughter of the Goddess of Life... and the one fated to awaken a long-lost love - Aspen, the son of the Death Snake.
Together they flee the kingdom, chased by soldiers and haunted by secrets.
Between laughter and blood, tenderness and power, their bond grows - until the gods themselves are forced to watch.
But when kingdoms burn and the forbidden love of light and shadow threatens to tear the world apart, Lily must choose - the peace of her people, or the boy who made her heart remember what it means to be alive.
