Kiss of the Basilisk: A Split or Swallow Novel

In this bold romantasy debut by Lindsay Straube, Temperance Verus enters a royal matchmaking ritual expecting etiquette and gowns—not to be paired with the dangerous Serpent King, Caspen. As magic, power, and desire intertwine, Tem must choose between winning royal favor and embracing a bond that could shatter everything. Perfect for fans of slow-burn fantasy, morally grey monsters, and twisted fairytales.
