The Serpent Lord Protects Me

Hailey Johnson bares a secret to save her best friend, Yana Saul: she is immortal. Instead of gratitude, betrayal follows. Coveting that impossible fate, Yana drags Hailey to the remote Serpent Isle to perform a soul-swapping ritual and claim immortality for herself. The isle’s ruler, Serpent Lord Xavier, is Hailey’s ex-husband — the very man she saved five hundred years ago when he was mortal. His love curdled into obsession; when Hailey fled, Xavier punished her with an eternal curse, binding her to endless life. Now Yana’s treachery collides with Xavier’s ancient wrath. Trapped between a friend’s greed and a husband’s vengeance, Hailey faces a ritual that could strip her of everything or leave her damned forever.
