Publisher's Summary

The god of light has met his match. But whose life will the red serpent claim?

Killing the queen of New York City has added a million new responsibilities to Shara Isador's list. The former queen's Blood must be dealt with before they turn thrall. The queens Keisha Skye coerced into sibling relationships must either be formally sworn to House Isador or freed. Though Shara can't in good conscience allow anyone into her house who took part in the rampant torture in which House Skye indulged.

While every single day, Shara feels the weight of the red serpent coiled around her throat. The goddess' gift grows heavier with every passing moment. If she doesn't act, the serpent will consume everything she loves. But if she goes after Ra as promised, someone she loves very much will die.

Any of her Blood will gladly pay that cost, but Shara loves them too much to even consider losing one of them.

Who will survive the epic showdown with Ra, the god of light, and will this be the end of Shara Isador's story?

Contains mature themes.

Good story great spice!

I love our queens strength and kindness, even though I believe the one queen she let live and leave will end up stabbing her in the back.

Taking on her mom’s old alpha as her blood is gross, I understand he can only be with queens but he was with both her mom & aunt 🤢
There’s a beautiful phoenix who comes to her and I believe she will be a great addition, yet again her rock giant alpha gets all her attention well others hardly get to be with her I hate this! I’m not even a big fan of her alpha and don’t think it’s right that he’s the only one allowed to breed with her.

The big showdown at the end was kinda anticlimactic I thought he should have been a lot harder to kill. Oh well it’s good enough
