My life is out of control. Raphael is now my lover, Mygi is trying everything they can to kill me to get him back, and I’m still a ruler of a dying people with enemies lurking in every shadow. And for all of that, I only have a single lead that could unravel the mysteries of Raphael’s past. His mysteries, which are also the secrets of Mygi, a company very much willing to kill to keep those secrets. All I can do is focus on one problem at a time, follow the threads, and connect the dots. I need to take the fight to them and I won’t be stopped.

This fight has always been my destiny. In a previous life, I had run from it, and that choice was the death of me. That mistake went down in history, becoming a story that haunted my people for centuries. I won’t run this time. I’ve regrouped, collected my allies, and sheltered my people. Now, I go hunting. I can’t rest until my people are safe. I can’t stop until the ones we lost are avenged. I am Kaliya Sahni, the Demon Serpent and Queen of the Nagas. It is time for this story to end, one way or another.

I should have never looked into Raphael or the mysteries around him - mysteries I might never be able to solve. Stonewalled, I’ve gotten stuck when it comes to him. My roommate, my…mate; not that he knows what he really is to me. The less he knows, the better, but without being able to find him answers, I have to get back to my job. I’m at the back and call of the Tribunal, and I’ve been lax with my duties. It should have been a routine, but when someone makes enemies as dangerous as I do, nothing stays that way.

Over a century ago, I left my homeland and my people. I’ve never gone back. I’ve deprived myself of the community for a variety of reasons, both good and bad. I made the decision, regardless of the consequences, and never looked back.

My name is Kaliya Sahni. Obsession is a part of who I am. It’s a fatal character flaw I have a hard time overcoming. Before Raphael, before the mysteries surrounding him, I had another obsession. Who killed my family and why? Who wants my people extinct? I might finally have a chance to find the answers to those questions that have plagued me for over a century. But it would be too easy to just walk away from a man like Raphael, and he’s not ready for me to walk out of his life completely. A mate like no other, he figures out exactly how to pull me back in.
