Mehen is not just a god—he’s Ra’s husband by divine decree. Serpentine, seductive, and suffocating, he is both protector and prison. Bound by ancient rituals and a cosmic contract, Ra must share her bed with a being whose love feels like a cosmic noose. Mehen wants her loyalty. Her body. Her power. But Ra’s not sure she wants to be worshipped when it comes wrapped in chains.

Their marriage is a beautiful disaster, a divinely sanctioned union teetering on the edge of implosion. Mehen may call it destiny, but Ra calls it domination. And the more he tries to own her, the more she plots her escape. Because behind every prophecy lies a power play—and Ra’s done being the pawn.
