Bride of the Basilisk King

One mask hides his power. One gaze could ruin her.Ilyra Veylan was trained to guide Nightspire's omens, not uncover its lies. As the last living Seer, her visions should serve the council-but the city's "witnessings" are staged, its rituals built on crowns, horns, and manipulation buried beneath the lower works.Then she meets Kael Ward-the Basilisk King. A masked ruler feared across the realm, his golden serpent mask hides more than his face. His gaze can strip away lies, his rules keep the city steady, and his power was never meant to be shared.Forced into an uneasy alliance, Ilyra and Kael descend into a world of forbidden tunnels, secret ledgers, and hidden devices designed to control an entire city. But danger isn't just in what they uncover-it's in what they want from each other.Because when masks come off and rules are broken, desire can be as dangerous as betrayal.Perfect for fans of Fourth Wing, From Blood and Ash, and Kingdom of the Wicked - this slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romantasy is filled with forbidden power, dark secrets, and intimate tension that lingers long after the last page.
