She’s hunting monsters. He is one. Now he must choose, expose his truth or lose her forever.
Kai Hebiguchi has spent his life resisting the primal hunger of the Ugajin Kami, the snake spirit coiled within his soul. Born in Japan but hardened on the streets of Rio de Janeiro, he learned young that survival meant embracing the darkness inside him. Now, at thirty, under the alias Kai Nakamura, he reigns over a ruthless underground fighting ring where the city’s elite pay to witness men unleash their inner beasts. His power is absolute. His secrets, untouchable.
Until Nova Sinclair threatens to expose them all.
A fiercely independent journalist, Nova has spent years chasing whispers of supernatural crime across continents. But when she stumbles upon underground footage of creatures that shouldn’t exist, she realizes the world is far more dangerous than she ever imagined. Rio is her next lead—and all signs point to Kai. There’s something about him—something otherworldly—that calls to her, even as every instinct warns her to run.
In Rio’s underground, news travels fast. Word of Kai’s increasingly reckless displays of the supernatural reaches all the way to Japan, where the Hebiguchi Clan refuses to let his transgressions go unchecked. His cousin, Saburo, is sent to Rio to remind him of the rules…by any means necessary.
But Nova isn’t just Kai’s problem anymore. Her reputation for hard-hitting exposés has made her a target—and when a rival supernatural syndicate puts a bounty on her head, Kai is left with one impossible choice: let her die…or break every rule to protect her.
Saving her means revealing his true nature—a beast born of myth and nightmare. And once Nova sees the monster lurking beneath his skin, she’ll have to make a choice of her own:
Run…or surrender to the serpent waiting to claim her.
