Celestial Bodies:
The Sun Serpent's Daughter
July 31, 2023
They say The Sun Serpent strikes with lethal precision, sending its vipers into your den to plant their poison without warning. So swiftly a kingdom may fall before you even learn you've been bitten. But how do you free yourself once the venom seeps in?
The Sun Vipers: nine Solarian princesses, born of The Sun Serpent, each tasked with infiltrating the nine celestial houses to bring about Enlightenment, the moment the celestial plane will be bathed in sunlight and the other houses destroyed. Celeste is the last viper to be dispatched. Her sisters have already met their mark and await the serpent's order. Her mission is crucial, infiltrate the Lunar kingdom and kill The Demon Prince. Simple. But Apollo isn't like any mark she's ever had. The lure of his shadows is inescapable, and he's determined to make her bend—so far that she just might break.
Apollo knows all too well how fatal the serpent's bite can be. It cost him his mother and his hearing and his father his sanity. That's why when the Lunar king suddenly passes, and Apollo takes his place, he knows he must uphold his dying wish—to see the house of the sun burn. So when a beautiful sun viper, dangerous and cunning, with skin blessed by the light, is thrust into his lap, he knows he cannot let her linger. But as Celeste spends more time in the moonlight, Apollo finds himself desperate to see her shed her rough exterior, to find the woman beneath the armor. Yet the more he learns, the more he realizes she may just be the final piece he needs to bring his father's plan to life.
The fight for the celestial plane has reached a fever pitch. Apollo and Celeste stand at the center, orbiting the inevitable collapse. But before the sun eclipses the moon, they must decide where their loyalties lie — to their house or to each other.
This high-stakes fantasy romance offers a unique take on star-crossed lovers amidst a one-of-a-kind magic system with a diverse cast of characters, including a Black heroine and a deaf male love interest.
