BOUND TO THE SERPENT

A solitary bounty hunter. A snake king who bears the grudge of extermination. A contract that changes everything. Hernando never partners with anyone. For eight years, he has been hunting down the killer of his foster father - crossing off each name on the list one by one. The last name is still at large. Yin Shuo is the last bloodline of the Snake Clan royal family. Thirty years ago, his entire clan was exterminated. Since then, every day, he has been waiting for someone in the darkness. The person who issued the order to exterminate the clan. A failed mission pushes two people together. Hernando is bleeding to death in the wreckage of the wreck. Yinshuo finds Hernando and saves him. Then he uses a soul contract to bind Hernando - it is an unbreakable snake contract. One is injured, the other is bleeding. One walks away, the other falls. One dies, and the other cannot live alone. Hernando wakes up, chained to a stranger. Angry. Trapped. But the person who killed Hernando's foster father - the one who wiped out the entire Ginshuo clan - is the same person. Eros Varden. A hunter who has been waiting for thirty years, he wants to collect the Snake King as his last collection. Now, they share a contract. An enemy. And a spaceship teetering on the edge of the galaxy. But the soul contract is more than just a binding - it is a connection. Every heartbeat. Every wound. Every buried memory. He used to be his target. He became his reason.
