The Serpent's Hand is a high-stakes, pulse-pounding thriller where loyalty is a weapon, freedom is forbidden, and survival comes at a brutal cost.

Anya Virelli was never meant to ask questions. At Blackwood Academy, recruits are trained to kill without hesitation and obey without question. But when Anya uncovers a hidden symbol—a serpent coiled around a skull—it sparks a rebellion she can't ignore. With the help of Elara, a fiercely defiant trainee, and Rhys, a quiet tech prodigy, Anya uncovers a buried conspiracy known as Project Chimera: a secret program turning students into something less than human.

Hunted by their instructors. Betrayed by the system that made them. Anya and her allies must race against time to uncover the truth about Chimera and escape Blackwood's iron grip. But some monsters don't live in the dark—they live in your own reflection.

Perfect for fans of Ninth House, Legend, and The Hunger Games, The Serpent's Hand is a brutal, electrifying story about memory, control, and what it means to fight for your own identity when the world tells you you're nothing but a weapon.
