I think I'm in love. Loathe. I'm in loathe with her.
PANDORA'S SERPENT is the debut novel of Augustine Kent's urban dark romantasy series, The Kurosh Cycle.
Janessa's nearly picture-perfect life turned upside down the day she crossed a chaos demon's path. When Janessa stepped unfraid into Varku's mayhem, he couldn't look away. It infuriated him, the way she put things back in order. But he also found himself intrigued, much to his dismay. The more he observed her, the more he noticed the cracks in the curated image she projected. Janessa was not what she seemed. She craved freedom from the burdens of her godsgiven power, and he believed he might just be the key she'd been searching for all along.
But freedom comes with a cost...and the gods are always watching.
Are they willing to pay the price?
