Twenty-four-year-old Theo Warren endures endless torment.
With his parents dead, his grandfather critically ill, and their family inn targeted by mining heir Victor Hale, Theo stays silent to keep his grandfather safe.
During a raging storm, he rescues a dying golden python that transforms into Caelan, an ancient mountain god.
Caelan can save Theo’s grandfather — if Theo enters a pact to carry the god’s heirs.
What begins as a cold exchange ignites instantly.
When Theo pulls Caelan close, the deity reveals his golden serpent form.
Theo refuses to flee.
Soon after, Caelan feels two tiny lives growing inside Theo.
