Josephine's birthright is stolen by a malicious impostor who schemes with her relatives to throw Josephine into the bottomless Serpent Abyss to die. Instead of meeting a horrific end among the fangs, Josephine lands upon the obsidian altar of Adonis, the slumbering reincarnation of the primordial Serpent God Ophion. Their midnight union breaks an ancient seal, binding their souls with an unyielding magical crest.
When Adonis awakens without memories of their intimate encounter, Josephine must navigate his dangerous serpentine court while concealing the celestial child growing within her. As the false heiress extends her greed to the divine realm, Josephine helps Adonis recover his memories. Standing together, they unleash ancestral scales to punish the usurpers who cast her down.
