A drop to heal...A drop to KILL...

----

Seer of ghosts Valentina Mora works as a trained healer in her aunt's apothecary house. There, she is able to hide her ancient and reviled Enfatalan blood from those who see it as a threat. But her illusion of safety shatters one fateful evening when a disgraced lord is found poisoned hours before his execution - and all signs point to Valentina's aunt as the assassin.

To clear her aunt's name, Valentina teams up with the bastard son of a cruel general. Together, they set off to the Infernali capital to track down the only man who might hold the answer to the mystery: the elusive King of Vipers, the charismatic and dangerous leader of the most powerful underground syndicate in the world. 

But in a kingdom controlled by thieves and crooks, magic is money - and the lavish Imperial city is crawling with conspiracy and crime. As she ventures deeper into the web of secrets, Valentina must face the dark cosmic forces and deadly plots churning at the heart of the Infernali empire - or risk consequences that could devastate her family, her kingdom, and possibly her very soul.

Bitter, he focuses on his multi-billionaire company, loathing all women that roam the face of the Earth. Until he meets feisty Jadesola, who goes out of her way to mock him. Stunning and hot-headed, Jadesola is on the verge of poverty---her no-good ex-fiance has made off with half of her casino's earnings--- and the only choice she has is to request financial aid from none other than her nemesis, Kian. Except that Kian has a thrilling game plan up his infuriatingly gorgeous sleeve. He's out for revenge and will only agree, if and only if she becomes his personal assistant a.k.a office slave.
