Due to a ravaging, worldwide drought over the last decade, a secluded lake exposes an ancient secret.

Philanthropist Simon Jonassen embarks on a quest of world consequence, hiring a team of mercenaries to deliver him safely past the boobytraps of the serpent god, to the legendary Temple of the Serpent.

He's promised the immense treasure that awaits as a bonus to the militaristic squad of specialists leading the way, for Simon has other business to tend to.

A hold-your-breath, cave diving, rope-fraying, fang-tabulous adventure.

Are you scared of the dark?
Then don't read.

How long can you hold your breath?
If the answer is "Not for long" then turn back now.

THE APPLE OF SNAKES by dextyradams

❝poisonous fangs can only reap poisonous fruit.❞ Nerluce - named for light - dwells in darkness. It was forged from the shadows of the great beasts, who flash their cruel fangs and crueler insults, who seek to choke the light from his chest with their iron chains, who despise all who are not like them. Disdain for gods and men is made in dim places. Hunger for ruin is cultivated on a starving stomach. Power for destruction is rarely given but when it is, oh, the world will burn. CONTENT WARNINGS (16+) Profanity, violence and gore, alcohol usage, neglect and verbal abuse, self-destructive actions and suicidal ideation, minor character death, and morally-questionable people doing morally-questionable things.
