Coil For Me

He is the arena's deadliest gladiator. She is the only human brave enough to touch him.

SIENNA
I am an indentured medic, trapped in the brutal, underground fighting pits of Sector 6. My job is to stitch up the monsters so they can bleed again tomorrow. I keep my head down and my mouth shut. But then they send me into the isolation cell of the undefeated champion.
Vane is a massive, twenty-five-foot Naga. He is pure, terrifying muscle and dark green scales. When he is enraged, his skin literally sweats a corrosive acid that melts through steel. The handlers are terrified of him. I should be too. But when I approach him with a needle and thread, he forces his body to stop producing the acid just so I can touch him safely. He looks at me with golden, slit-pupiled eyes, and I realize the deadliest creature in the galaxy isn't a monster. He is a protector.

VANE
For years, I have known nothing but blood, chains, and the roar of the arena. I hate them all. Until the tiny human healer walks into my cell, trembling but defiant.
Her hands are soft. Her scent is intoxicating. She is an indentured servant, owned by the very men who keep me caged. She thinks we are trapped here forever, but she doesn't know what I am capable of. I will melt these chains. I will burn this arena to the ground. And I will slaughter anyone who tries to stop me from wrapping my coils around my human and flying her to the stars.
