Book 1 in Split or Swallow
It is unhinged in a very specific way: monster spice, court intrigue, a Bachelor-style bride contest, and a heroine who is wildly out of her depth. Readers looking for soft romantasy should flee; readers looking for explicit serpent chaos may have found their problem book.
