Kiss of the Basilisk 
by Lindsay Straube
Seduction is a skill. Survival might depend on it.
 
In Kiss of the Basilisk, a viral romantasy sensation, Temperance Verus is thrust into a high-stakes competition to win a prince’s hand in marriage… but first, she must be trained in the art of desire by a basilisk, a dangerous, shapeshifting creature. As her bond with her assigned basilisk deepens, so does her connection to the prince, pulling her into a tangled web of power, politics, and attraction that could reshape two worlds.
 
Inside you will explore:
A deadly love triangle between human and monster
Seduction as power, weapon, and survival tool
Political tension between humans and basilisks
Secrets that threaten fragile alliances
Dark romance with high heat and high stakes
Bold, chaotic, and unapologetically spicy, Kiss of the Basilisk leans all the way into its “dangerous desire meets fantasy politics” energy, making it a wild ride for readers who like their romance sharp-toothed and a little unhinged.
