Reborn after her jealous sister Vera murders her, fox shifter Ivy accepts Bloodline Ascension and chooses Silas, a “low-blooded” lizard hiding the Ancient Serpent King’s blood. Vera steals the heir-giving gift and marries false crown prince Lucian, only to bear earthworm offspring. When Ivy’s black-gold child awakens, Silas rises as the true Serpent King, exposing Lucian and turning Ivy’s shame into glory.
