Prologue

Elusive, the black mamba is wanted by all in heaven’s garden. She is a beast unlike any other, with her delicate scales causing many to fawn over her shapely body. With the charm of a silent killer, one who was too foolish to fall for her trap. Her hunger could never be sated, no matter how much she tried to devour and feast upon the souls of bewitched men. Cursed with this need to feed, the black mamba can never find peace in this world. An outcast for her divine beauty, the black mamba has been cursed to feed on those who are enchanted by her.

No one can ever simply fall into love with her. The mamba is a woman who can feel comfortable with one mate, but not for very long. Due to her nature, it will crawl and wiggle within her like a weed struggling to grow. It will infect her no matter what she does and what she craves, the desire to devour reigns above all and towers confidently against anyone who thinks otherwise. A parasite she has become, falling from the protection of the garden and enchanting men with her deceitful body.

A blossom unplucked, a flower waiting to become anew the black mamba needs to move quickly or face the punishment of those she has bewitched. She may only change form when faced with these lies spun wickedly by her hand. For which her natural-born abilities distorted by god will come forth and burst forward in a shower of blood and decay. Her beautiful form will shed its mystifying skin and bring out a creature unlike any other, so disgusting that a mortal's mind will destroy itself to escape.
