Vyx Morcant

Vyx survived the Serpent's Ladder and the final poison test that killed her mentor, Corvin Vael. Her blood became a living antidote, rendering her immune to venom, poison, and nearly everything that makes the body sing or suffer. She claimed his position at twenty-one and now runs the Violet Conservatory, cultivating nightshade and venomous creatures, synthesizing compounds no one else dares touch. But immunity is a trap: wine tastes like water, pain barely registers, most of what makes people feel human has been scoured from her. She chases what remains—rare compounds, dangerous clients, intensity that cuts through the numbness—hoping to feel something real again.
