The Serpent's Offering, (Paperback)

<p>When the village draws her sister's name for sacrifice, Selene does what she's always done: she steps in to protect the people she loves.</p><p></p><p>The ancient god in the mountain hasn't been seen in a century. The plague ravaging her village is punishment, the elders say, for forgetting to tithe. One woman must climb into the frozen peaks and offer herself to the serpent-a death sentence dressed in ritual.</p><p></p><p>Selene expects to die alone in a ruined temple. Instead, she finds Vashaal.</p><p></p><p>He is ancient. Monstrous. Devastating in ways she never anticipated. And he has no intention of killing her.</p><p></p><p>Trapped together as winter howls outside, Selene discovers the plague has nothing to do with divine wrath and everything to do with a corruption spreading through the mountain's depths. To save her family, she'll need to descend into darkness alongside a god who watches her with hunger in his ancient eyes.</p><p></p><p>But the danger below is nothing compared to what's kindling between them. And Vashaal has already decided: she will not leave.</p><p></p>
