El beso del basilisco

Stubborn and with an unyielding determination, Temperance has never had an easy life and has always lived in poverty. However, she has been selected, along with thirteen other young women, to compete for the prince's hand and become part of the royal family. It's an opportunity she absolutely refuses. Temperance must learn the art of seduction to become the woman the prince has always dreamed of, with the help of a basilisk, a powerful magical creature with a seductive, human-like appearance. But Temperance has no experience; she hasn't even kissed anyone before, and she isn't assigned just any basilisk, but Caspen, the king of serpents and the best of instructors. Yet, day after day, Temperance feels her bond with Caspen growing ever more intimate and profound, growing at the same pace as her relationship with the prince. As political tensions rise in the kingdom, Temperance finds herself caught between two worlds: the basilisk and the prince. But what if you don't want to give up either one?
