Bound by the Basilisk
(2026)(The third book in the Guardians of Vale Crossing series)
A novel by Adilyn Andrews and Alicia Montgomery
One night of fun turns into forever. Too bad they can't stand each other.
Liora has spent her whole life keeping people out. Told as a child that her powers were something to hide, she learned to bury her magical abilities and, more importantly, to never let anyone get close enough to see what she really is. Now in Vale Crossing, she's finally using her gifts for something that matters—finding the halfling children of Zeus and protecting them. The last thing she needs is a complication.Maldenis is a basilisk with a talent for underachieving. The black sheep of a family of ruthless overachievers, he coasts on charm and has made a career out of lowered expectations. He doesn't do serious. He definitely doesn't do marriage.But one reckless night changes everything, and they find themselves married. For real. Ending it isn't an option. So they do the only logical thing: fake it for a year and a day, then walk away.
The problem is, the closer they get, the harder it is to pretend. Because the basilisk who's never believed he's worth anything might finally be more than he thinks—and the woman who swore she'd never let anyone in might be the one person who can't keep faking it.
