Where the Serpent Sleeps
A girl, a serpent, and a curse old enough to shake reality.
BLURB
Bound by Frígg’s curse, Jörmungandr has spent generations coiled beneath a duke’s garden, feeding on hunger, hatred, and the promise of devouring the bloodline that keeps him chained – and then the world.
But raised in the shadow of the serpent’s Labyrinth, Runa, who crawls into the monster’s heart, grows from a fearless child into a woman who just might make it bleed.
Because Frígg’s curse was never only about teaching a lesson through chains and eternity.
'Where the Serpent Sleeps' is a Dual POV dark Norse mythology-inspired romantasy set in a gothic fairy tale world based on the Georgian era. Perfect for fans of monster romance, coming of age into darkness stories, and morally grey fairy tales.
