The Serpent's Pet by May Sage:
 
Ophelia
 
I moved to Vliss to escape the barbaric forced marriage law my kingdom has implemented for all single magic users, only to land in the predatory claws of the monsters ruling Hemlock University.
In this empire, a person’s value is branded on their skin, constantly on display. I don’t have a mark and people like Titus Graves believe that means I ought to kiss their boots and beg for their mercy.
If they think I’m prey, they’re in for a hell of a surprise.
 
Titus
 
The only thing that ever mattered to me was survival. From the day I was born, I’ve had to fight for my position in life, earning every crumb through force, scheming, or hexes.
Then Ophelia crashed into my world. No mark, no rank, no wealth, no title, and unapologetically claiming what the rest of us would have killed for.
She fails to understand that by crushing the rest of Hemlock under her talons, she’ll end up attracting the wrong kind of attention. The imperial lords will either use or destroy her if she isn't careful. Someone needs to show Ophelia her place in this world.
Either by my side or at my feet.
