“When Fate abandoned us, so did magic. Or so the Shard Daughters let the realm believe. Now The Serpent wants me dead.” Peace is broken. The merciless Bosses of the Underground rule all.

In possession of one of the final pieces of magic in Mirror, Rayze Angeline is brought under the wing of the Shard Daughters, a secret society of female assassins trained to keep peace and balance among the realm.

But with Rayze desperate to avenge her slayed family by the hands of the wicked and ruthless Boss, The Serpent, she takes out his crew one lethal seduction at a time.

That is until The Serpent catches her.


The Shard and The Serpent is a standalone, dark fantasy romance spin-off to the #1 Amazon Best-Selling Fates of Mirror trilogy by Jinapher J. Hoffman. You can read The Shard and The Serpent independently, but if you want the full effect, consider reading the Fates of Mirror trilogy first.

    QUOTE TEASERS:
    His POV

    I hate this woman.

    I hate what she’s done to my mind, to my heart, to my fucking soul.

    But I am starved for her.

    -------------------
    Her POV
    “That was hardly a bite, angel,” he says, his voice as ragged as I feel.

    Barely a kiss and I’m breathless, the heat between my thighs unbearable. I know in the depths of myself this is irrational. I have every reason to hate this man. I have fixated for almost a decade on all the ways I would display his corpse for his father, to make The Serpent feel a sliver of the pain I have felt since my mothers and sisters were taken.

    But his hand grasps my hip. His thumb swipes under my tank. His touch–I’m lit from within.

    -------------------
    His POV
    “I’m not yours,” she says. Then she presses onto her toes, her breath on my chin as she stares into my eyes. “And there’s no need to kill who I bed, Warrick. I don’t need a man to do my favorite part.”

    She will bear my children.

    “Own me,” I breathe.

    -------------------
    Her POV
    My lungs squeeze, and he dips the tip of his finger inside me.

    “My skin.” He bites my other shoulder and my back arches. “My pussy.” He works his finger deeper.

    “Warrick–” And I can’t speak, can’t breathe, can’t be. The knot between us loosens with every flick and carefully timed thrust. It feels like the cruelest battle to be undone by him. My teeth bite into my bottom lip until it bleeds. I cannot let him win this war.

    But then his breath hits my ear. “My. Woman.”

    -------------------
    Her POV
    His eyes devour me, and he smiles, blood between his teeth. “I like you in red,” he says, his voice rough with want, and launches his blade over my shoulder.

    I spin and nock another arrow, but the snake who snuck up behind me crumples, serrated steel plunged through his chest. I lower my bow and glance at Warrick, his mask a mess of blood-plastered feathers. “You, too,” I admit, and his smile widens as he licks blood from his lips.
