Claimed by the Snake God

He was sent as a sacrifice—he became the god’s obsession. When Ryan, the rebellious heir of a global arms empire, is draped in translucent white gauze and bound in golden chains, his own family delivers him to the serpent god Asmodeus to seal a deal. Left at the altar deep within the rainforest, he expects a swift death. Instead, he is claimed. Asmodeus, ancient and merciless, looks upon this defiant human and sees a possession he will break and worship in equal measure. What begins as brutal captivity slowly warps into a dark, inescapable bond. Under the god’s relentless touch—cold scales and fevered kisses—Ryan’s hatred begins to taste like devotion. When his family returns with armies and ultimatums, he faces an impossible choice: betray the monster who owns him, or pull the trigger on his own bloodline. His answer will ignite a war and crown him the ultimate accomplice in a world of guns, gold, and forbidden power.
