Some love stories are written in blood and petals
The Serpent & The saffron bride
The Serpent and the Saffron Bride is a haunting gothic romance set on the mysterious island of Vatu Vara. When Priya, a curious librarian from Suva, arrives at the secluded estate known as Serpent’s Embrace, she expects to catalog a rare collection. Instead, she finds herself entangled in a legacy of longing, forgotten vows, and ancestral memory. As the mansion stirs with secrets and shadows, Priya must confront a love that spans lifetimes—and a truth that refuses to stay buried.
Step into a world where the past coils like a serpent, and every frangipani bloom may hold the weight of a soul once lost.
