For fans of enemies-to-lovers with a slight twist, forbidden romance, and monster-hunters who scour monster-infested dunes.

When the gods crave vengeance, love becomes a weapon.

Leela has spent six years chasing the monster that destroyed her family and her future with Rajesh, the man she was meant to marry. Now, her only chance at justice lies in an ancient relic said to slay monsters. But the path to revenge is never simple, especially when it leads her straight into the hands of a secretive order binding dead gods to mortal bodies.

Leela becomes the unwilling host to the Viperess, a ruthless goddess with a single obsession—kill her immortal ex-lover. If Leela does not comply, the goddess will take her body and do it herself. With no choice but to obey, Leela ventures deep into the desert, only to stumble upon the last person she ever expected to see. Rajesh is alive and well, leading the monster-hunting guild. And worse still? He’s the vessel for the god the Viper wants dead.

To save herself, Leela must choose: kill the man she once loved or risk the goddess doing it for her. But with tensions high, old wounds reopen and sparks reignite. As they scour monster-infested dunes, they must race toward the ancient relic that might free them both, and Leela and Rajesh must confront the truth about the night everything fell apart. Because in a world where gods wear mortal skins and monsters are born from emotions, love might be the deadliest curse of all.
