THE WHITE SNAKE

The world ended ten years ago.

Not with fire.
Not with war.
But with poison.

In the year 2050, governments rule through fear, rebellion breathes through bloodshed, and humanity has long forgotten what innocence feels like. Survival belongs to the ruthless, and morality is nothing more than a luxury for the weak.

Seventeen-year-old Saerin Petrovsa knows that better than anyone.

Brilliant. Unhinged. Feared.

Locked away inside a government asylum after creating a poison lethal enough to kill within seconds, Saerin has earned herself a terrifying reputation - *The White Snake*. A girl too dangerous to be free and too valuable to be killed.

But Saerin was never the type to rot quietly behind locked doors.

Especially when Dorian Vaskolnikov walks into her cell.

The infamous leader of the resistance.
The government's greatest enemy.
And the son of the man controlling the country.

Cold grey eyes. Bloody hands. A smile sharp enough to start wars.

Dorian needs Saerin's poison to destroy the government from the inside out.
Saerin needs something far more dangerous:
a reason to feel alive again.

Their alliance was supposed to be temporary.
A simple exchange.
A weapon for freedom.

Instead, it becomes a deadly game of manipulation, obsession, betrayal, and psychological warfare where trust is more lethal than any toxin ever created.

Because Saerin is not a hero.

Dorian is not a savior.

And in a world poisoned by power, love may be the deadliest thing of all.

As secrets buried within government laboratories begin surfacing and the line between monster and human starts to blur, Saerin and Dorian are forced into a war where survival demands sacrifice - and where the real danger may not be the poison in their veins, but the loneliness they hide behind their smiles.

Some people fear monsters.

Society creates them.
