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.
Available now in paperback, hardcover, and eBook editions on Amazon.
Available in paperback on IngramSpark for US customers only.
Lines from The Serpent & The Saffron Bride that stole my soul:
- "The house remembers." (Chills)
- "Fire wrapped in sorrow. A storm wearing a smile." (Nadeem's entire vibe - swoon)
- The saffron silk bedcovers as "a memory waiting to be disturbed."
- "The soul remembers what the mind is not ready to." (I want this embroidered on a pillow)
Can't wait to read book 2!
~Happy Reader
I purchased your book "Pandora's Delicious Dilemma". I love it! It is a very beautiful and cute story. I really do like it. I look forward to sharing it with others. Especially children. It is a really great children's story even though it can also be enjoyed by adults. I wish you much success. ~P.W.
From the opening pages, the book exudes a sense of mystery and tenderness. Priya is written with such emotional precision that I felt like I understood her even in her silences. The interplay between her and Nadeem is magnetic; every shared glance and subtle gesture carries weight. The prose has an elegance that elevates the romance, and the saffron motif is threaded beautifully throughout. A deeply satisfying, heartfelt story.

It’s romantic without being overly sentimental, mysterious without losing clarity, and gothic in a way that feels fresh and rooted in a culture we rarely see in this genre. If you love atmospheric historical romances with supernatural edges where every page hums with secrets this one is not to be missed.

What I loved most here is how quietly the romance deepens between Priya and Nadeem. It never feels rushed or manufactured; it grows out of trust, small acts of care, and the willingness to be seen. The writing is gorgeously tactile the salt on the wind, the hush of evening light, the saffron warmth threading through memory. Nadeem’s steadiness is such a perfect counterpoint to Priya’s guarded heart, and their scenes together hum with unspoken feeling. This is intimate, reflective storytelling that rewards patient readers with a truly earned payoff.
