Kiss of the Basilisk by Lindsay Straube
Temperance Verus has never been kissed—not exactly ideal for a girl competing in the palace's most closely watched matchmaking ritual. Every year, a select group is invited to bond with the realm's magical basilisks and train in the art of charm, poise, and influence. The prize? A chance to win the prince's favor—and a life of privilege.
Tem expects rules, gowns, and etiquette.
She doesn't expect her assigned partner to be Caspen—the Serpent King, commanding, mysterious, and anything but safe. As he pushes her to unlock the strength she never knew she had, Tem finds herself drawn into something deeper, stranger, and far more powerful than royal approval.
But not all bonds are built for the court, and some secrets are meant to break them.
Vibe Note from Meena:
A dark floral dream for your romantasy shelf—pair with red wine and candlelight.

The book is a birthday gift for my wife. I have not opened the package yet because the box and packaging is far better than I could ever hope for. Just hope it’s the deluxe version she’s been wanting when she opens it
