The Serpent King’s Hidden Heirs

A desperate woman sold herself to a cold, handsome stranger for seven nights to pay her debts, and he vanished afterward, leaving only a black card and an icy eggshell behind. Months later she learned she carried six serpentine shadows, and she fled into a snowbound cabin to protect herself. When she gave birth alone during a blizzard, six golden-eyed babies emerged who called her Mama. Powerful men wanted them as research subjects, while other species branded them half-breeds, and the children soon faced cold steel at their chests as the vanished man burst back in.
