Serpent’s Mark

Serpent's Mark by Beth AlvarezA girl without a family. A monster who craves humanity. An alliance could bring the kingdom to its knees.

The fate of Firal’s missing parents has always been a mystery, but her mother’s necklace—the royal crest given to all court mages—could provide the answer. After a lifetime of training, a single trip to the capital could give Firal everything she ever wanted. All she has to do is cross the treacherous ruins of an ancient maze to get there.

But the ruins are forbidden for a reason. Exiled to the labyrinth for the scales and claws his wild magic gave him, Daemon could find freedom if he could only gain control of his power. His chance encounter with Firal changes everything. In exchange for safe passage, she can teach the control he so desperately needs. Sharing temple secrets could get her expelled. His reckless nature could get her killed. With her window of opportunity to meet with the court mages drawing closed, Firal is forced to make a choice—but with secrets lurking behind Daemon’s exile and hatred fueling his motives, their alliance could cost her more than she ever believed possible.

The Snakesblood Saga is an award-winning epic fantasy adventure filled with intrigue, love, lies, and betrayal, beginning with Serpent’s Mark, book one of a six book series.

  1. Hi, me and my friend were wondering if there was a physical copy of this book, neither of us can read digital copies easily.
    Just wondering since we really like the idea and would like to read it.

  2. Thank you for your interest! Unfortunately, this book isn’t on the market just yet. I am not sure when it will be available, but there will be phyiscal copies of all my books, since I prefer to read paperbacks, myself!

  3. I just finished reading this book – loved it!. A great start to the series and I have the second book on pre-order. Can’t wait!
