The Serpent’s Ruin

The Crimson Duology (Book 2)

My Siren. My Ruin. My Redemption.

She was given three months to make a king choose her. She never meant to fall in love with him.

Caught between the corruption of a kingdom built on blood and the dangerous devotion of a king who would burn the world to keep her, Serina is running out of time. What began as a desperate bargain for survival has become something far more dangerous, and the price of it may be more than her life.

Rhylis has already chosen her.

But when both the Damned and the Holy step into the game, Serina and Rhylis will be forced to face not only the weight of their choices, but the chains that bind them to their pasts.

Some bonds cannot be broken. Some choices only lead to ruin.

And choosing him might be what destroys them both.
