'HOW MANY TIMES WOULD THEY PRESS BLADES INTO EACH OTHER'S SKIN BEFORE THIS WAS ALL OVER?' Inna is the perfect heiress to the Pallo mafia: poised, cunning, untouchable. Behind this facade, she hunts for her sister's killers, convinced her family is shielding her from a painful truth. Rylan, a talented thief, plans to steal an ancient riddle from the Pallo Vault - one that leads to a sleeping god, the Serpent King. Whoever wakes him will be granted any wish they desire. Rylan will claim vengeance for his family, murdered by Inna's mother, and with it, Inna's ruin. But when Inna catches Rylan sneaking past her family's security, they enter into a perilous alliance that neither intends to keep - even as bitter attraction ignites into something more . . .
