Scars Beneath a Serpent‘s Scales

What is inevitable? Emmeline DeLeoste has always talked to the stars. As a member of a fortune-telling warrior clan, her exceptional magic allows her to read the Fates, earning her a prestigious Academy job. But it has also cost her everyone she loves. Roremar Silventa has more responsibilities than any man should. Combined with his Reckless reputation haunting his every step, it‘s left him burdened in more ways than one. When women start disappearing from the drug-infested Isle of Lyra, Emmeline and Roremar are tasked with finding the culprit due to their unique skillsets. In return, each is offered the one thing they can‘t refuse. There‘s only one problem: the pair couldn‘t be more different. Amid mounting threats from the Fates, and with a murderer creeping closer, Emmeline and Roremar strike up an alliance only to realize that, despite their differences, or perhaps because of them, they may understand each other in a way no one else can. Can they unveil fated pasts and catch a killer before they lose their lives-or their hearts? Everyone on Lyra has a secret, and some things may be inevitable after all. House of Earth and Blood meets Heavenly Bodies, Scars Beneath a Serpent‘s Scales is the first book in an Adult Romantic Fantasy series full of celestial magic, murder mystery, and sizzling, star crossed love. It is recommended for fans of Chloe C. Peñaranda, Sarah A. Parker, and Kayla Edwards.
