Description

Temperance Verus has never been kissed—not exactly ideal for a girl competing in the palace's most closely watched matchmaking ritual. Every year, a select group is invited to bond with the realm's magical basilisks and train in the art of charm, poise, and influence. The prize? A chance to win the prince's favor—and a life of privilege. Tem expects rules, gowns, and etiquette. She doesn't expect her assigned partner to be Caspen—the Serpent King, commanding, mysterious, and anything but safe.
