In the Shadow of the Serpent

Ancient Magic has returned, and Amara Larkwood is at the center of it-celebrated, feared, and watched.

But she is not the only one.

Sebastian Sallow has always been by her side. Until he wasn't.

Something changed after fifth year-a distance neither of them could cross. Now, as shadows rise and whispers of power grow louder, the world threatens to tear them even further apart.

Because Amara is being hunted for her magic.

And Sebastian-he is becoming something else entirely.

Haunted by the past, consumed by a curse that still lingers, Sebastian searches for a way to save his sister-no matter the cost.

Together, they must fight for survival, for the truth, and for what remains of the bond they once had.

But when the world pulls them apart, will they find their way back-or be lost to each other forever?
