Description
Ophira Naga has spent centuries perfecting the art of invisibility. By day, she commands one of the world's most elite security firms, her cameras and algorithms standing sentinel over secrets that could topple governments. By night, she hides behind walls no mortal force can breach, guarding against a past that refuses to stay buried.
One client changes everything.
He walks into her world with velvet words and a case that should be simple: recover four stolen relics, nothing more. But these aren't ordinary artifacts. They pulse with divine power. They whisper her name. And with each one she tracks, the carefully constructed lie of her modern life begins to crumble.
The gods have not forgotten her. Neither have her enemies.
As ancient forces converge on the present, Ophira must confront a truth she's denied for millennia: some curses cannot be outrun, some powers cannot be suppressed, and some hunts never truly end. The thing she buried deepest is clawing its way to the surface, and this time, there may be nowhere left to hide.
In a world where cutting-edge surveillance meets primordial magic, where divine conspiracies lurk behind corporate facades, Ophira will discover that the greatest danger isn't the enemies closing in around her.
It's what she becomes when she stops running.
Set in a richly layered urban landscape where high-tech surveillance meets ancient mysteries, Echoes of the Serpent blends intrigue, mythology, and slow-burn romantic tension in a world where ancient mythology collides with modern power, and the line between predator and prey is written in blood.
