Rise of the Serpent is book 2 in the Serpent's War series
Allie has escaped the clutches of the dragon worshipping cult, but she knows they're one step behind, lurking in the shadows. They hunt for her and her friends, seeking to find the answer to their prophecy.
In the heart of the Empire of Shazamir she finds an unexpected ally. A wanderer from the north, heavy with a quest of his own, joins forces with them and tells them of the path of a true hero. It is a path that stop them from running and sends them back, into the very treacherous fangs of the serpent they'd already lost so much to.
The snake-men seek a half-blood as a key to their reign of blood and terror. Allie and her friends must race to find the prophesied one first and then, if they can, destroy the plans of the snake-men before they begin.
