Coiling Dragon

In Alabama’s rot-soaked bayous, Drucilla Drakes survives by three rules: silence, scars, and never letting Louise—her Bible-thumping captor—catch her hoping. But when a schoolyard ambush leaves her bleeding beneath a stranger’s leather jacket, invisibility becomes a death sentence. Enter Dragon Morales: New Orleans’ most notorious runaway, a cartel prince turned outlaw mechanic with grease-stained hands and a death wish. He doesn’t save people—he survives them. Yet in Dru’s lashed flesh and hellfire gaze, he sees his own shattered reflection. Their bond is gasoline and matches. Dragon’s father—Colombia’s cartel kingpin—hunts them relentlessly. Louise, armed with voodoo rites and the chaos-hungry loa Marinette, vows to break Dru. Their only allies? The Lou Nwa, a bayou biker gang trading in bullets and black magic, and Papa Legba, the crossroads spirit who offers Dru a lethal bargain: *“Her soul or yours.”* Fleeing through the Deep South’s cursed underbelly, they dodge cartel hitmen, haunted swamps, and safehouses reeking of betrayal. Dark magic seeps into old wounds; family secrets tighten like nooses. Dragon swears he’s too ruined to love. Dru knows she’s too shattered to trust. But in the bayou’s choking heat, desire is a grenade they can’t outrun. This isn’t a fairytale. It’s switchblade kisses and saintly curses—a collision of fire and ruin where protectors become predators. Dru doesn’t need saving; she needs an inferno. And Dragon? He’s got a lighter and nothing left to burn. Will they raze the South to ashes, or become the sacrifice the crossroads demands? One truth remains: in the bayou, even survival leaves scars. **Warning:** No princes here. Just bayou smoke, blood-soaked magic, and the kind of love that devours.

Bertahun-tahun lalu, keluarga Pratama dibantai secara misterius di rumah besar mereka yang terletak di ujung gang. Mayat-mayat ditemukan seminggu kemudian—satu di kamar, satu di kamar mandi, dan dua lainnya tergeletak saling berpelukan di kamar utama. Kasus itu tak pernah terpecahkan. Rumah nomor tujuh dibiarkan kosong. Membusuk dalam sunyi. Hingga waktu perlahan menghapus ingatan warga… Tapi kejahatan tidak mati. Empat mahasiswa—dua di antaranya kakak beradik—menyewa rumah itu karena harganya murah. Mereka menganggap cerita seram sebagai bualan orang tua. Namun suara air tetes dari langit-langit, bau busuk yang tak pernah hilang, dan tangisan bocah tengah malam... menjadi sinyal pertama. Rumah ini tidak sekadar berhantu. Ia menyimpan kutukan. Dan rumah ini... tidak membiarkan siapa pun pergi tanpa membayar.

As far as now, Raphael Lockwood, a mixed-blood warlock—a human and a witch—has relied on the potions created by his father to live, which unfortunately began to lose their effectiveness. He's afraid he will die. At the same time, Isaac Kanon, his childhood friend who happens to be the ruler of the kingdom he lives in, confesses his love to him. Isaac is a human, and he is not willing to give up his feelings for Raphael. Even though Raphael rejects his love confession. But Raphael's condition begins to worsen, so he is forced to agree with the dragon, Daniel Krauss. The payment for his request is that he has to give up Raphael to be Daniel's fiance for a month. Will Isaac be able to get Raphael back to his side?
