One kiss can curse—or claim—you forever.
Kiss of the Basilisk is a dark, seductive fantasy romance that weaves deadly magic, mythic creatures, and slow-burn desire into a high-stakes tale of survival. When a woman becomes entangled with a powerful basilisk whose touch is as dangerous as it is alluring, she’s forced to navigate ancient magic, lethal bargains, and an attraction that could destroy her—or change her fate entirely.
Lindsay Straube delivers lush atmosphere, morally gray tension, and a romance steeped in danger and inevitability. This is a bold series starter for readers who love monster mythology, forbidden connection, and magic that bites back.
Perfect for readers who love:
• monster / creature fantasy romance
• forbidden attraction
• dark, immersive world-building
• slow-burn tension
• morally gray love interests
