The Serpent in the Shadows

In a kingdom teetering on the edge of chaos, Maevryn walks the razor-thin line between loyalty and betrayal. Gifted-or cursed-with the ability to commune with Death, her visions place her at the centre of a dangerous power struggle. When the king's life hangs by a thread, the scheming Lord Atlas and the enigmatic Prince Kaldor each pull her into their webs of deceit, ambition, and manipulation. But Maevryn has her own secrets, and her sharp wit and cunning are her greatest weapons in a court where trust is a luxury few can afford. As alliances shift and tensions rise, Maevryn must navigate treacherous loyalties, forbidden desires, and the dark truth about her own role in the game of thrones. In a world where survival means outplaying everyone, Maevryn must decide whose side she's truly on-before Death claims the kingdom itself.
