The Serpent King vs the Cunning Prince
In the world of Aethal, humans worship the goddess Kora. Long ago, the realm was dominated by Basilisks—powerful, mind-reading shapeshifting snakes who controlled a coveted form of magic. Despite their immense power, humanity won the war against them by exploiting a singular weakness: mirrors. If a Basilisk in its true form catches its own reflection, it instantly turns to stone. Conversely, any human who looks directly into a Basilisk’s eyes is also petrified, making eye contact safe only when the creatures are in human form. Following their defeat, a pact was forged. Known as masters of seduction, the subjugated Basilisks were tasked with training women to become the perfect wives for royalty, catering to a king's every need behind closed doors. This tradition birthed "The Selection," a brutal competition where candidates are assigned a Basilisk mentor. Through a series of high-stakes events, the King eliminates contestants until only three remain, leaving him to choose his ultimate bride.
