In a world ruled by powerful Gene Warriors, he was a nineteen-year-old F-rank awakener with zero talent, working the bellows in his uncle's blacksmith shop.As a fellow traveler from Earth, he dreamed of a powerful system, strength, domination, and standing at the top. But a thunderstorm in the Green Leaf Mountains changed everything.Seeking shelter in a dilapidated shrine, Alex stumbles upon a broken statue and a mysterious, silver-haired beauty who shouldn't exist.She is the Silver Serpent Empress—an ancient, predatory soul in need of a body. And she chooses him.Locked in a battle for his own body, Alex watches in horror as his rough skin molts away to reveal porcelain perfection, his muscles soften into dangerous curves, and his presence becomes a pheromone-laced trap that no one—male or female—can resist.“Stop fighting it, little vessel,” the Empress whispers in his mind, her voice like honey mixed with poison. “Look at how your cousin looks at you. The City Lord wants to chain you to her bed. You have the power to bring kingdoms to their knees... all you have to do is open your legs.”Alex trembled, clutching his chest where his nipples were throbbing painfully against his shirt. “I am a man! I won't be your toy!”“Are you?” she laughs. “Then why does your body tremble so sweetly when you are touched?”Alex must navigate a world where he is no longer the hunter, but the ultimate prize.

Word went around that no one that had ever knocked on the esteemed Eleazar family’s doors seeking shelter were turned away.Fleeing the prince of Lustris no less, Arabella Sterling held out hope that those weren’t mere rumors as she crossed the border over to Umbraria, home to all creatures of the night. A land where noble blood like hers was a highly coveted delicacy.As such, she wasn’t turned away, but since the Eleazars ran no charity, Arabella was compelled to become the sole blood provider to the heir of the family in exchange for safety.Though never, in a million years, did she imagine that what had started as a simple trade off, could morph into a swirl of tangled passion when the cold and stoic vampire she served showed interest in the young woman beyond the crimson nectar coursing her veins.
