The Viper and his Vengeance

So, we're all agreed that we love a smirking prince who loves deadly women, right?

🥰

"Why do I want to fk you?" He feigns ignorance. "I have a soft spot for deadly women. Especially the gorgeous ones."

😍

There was so much more to this scene and more...colorful dialogue from our charming prince, but I decided to leave you all in anticipation for now.

For most, their love of Greek Mythology began with Percy Jackson. Mine began when I learned the story of Theseus and the Minotaur in my World History class. I became obsessed with the story, and I always knew I wanted to write a story that paid homage to the beginning of my favorite fixation.

If you love the story of Theseus, this book is for you.

Even if you do not know the story of Theseus, this book can still be the perfect book for you. If you love deadly trials, deadly FMCs, MMCs obsessed with women who may or may not stab them, multiple realms, and greatest fears coming to life, then join my ARC team. The link to join is in my bio.

Fall in love with my complex FMC, Althea Kritikos, whose story of heroism begins when she agrees to unalive a man for money.

A Bible journal page with highlighted Isaiah 59 and 60 verses. Handwritten notes summarize sins like 'Lips speak lies' and 'Rebellion & treachery,' God's displeasure, and the need for a Savior. The page emphasizes repentance and God as a 'Warrior Clothed in armour'.

Sin separates us from God! "He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer shall be abomination." Proverbs 28:9 KJV God doesn't hear you while you're still under the law of sin! Repent, break free from the chains of slavery, and follow Jesus! CHOOSE TO BE FREE.
