Synopsis

"GUT-WRENCHING MASTERPIECE OF FANTASY" - Kirkus Starred Review

Perfect for readers of Leigh Bardugo, Naomi Novik, and Madeline Miller who crave folkloric worlds, dangerous magic, and heroines who will burn the world before they let it break their children.

Liama is a thing of myth. She can stop a man's heart with the flick of her wrist, but she cannot save her daughter from a powerless man.

Ten years ago, Liama was robbed of her memories and her freedom by meeting the eye of a stranger. Now, she wakes each dawn as the wife of a man who wields her violent abilities to hold his usurped throne. If she refuses, her daughter pays the price.

When a single forbidden touch fractures the spell binding her mind, fragments of Liama’s past begin to surface: her capture from the Sacred Wood, the love of the man who took her, and a forgotten alliance that could topple the usurper on her throne. To claim it all back she must be something more than the leashed woman she has become.

In a land where women bear the weight of both salvation and destruction, Liama will rupture ancient bonds and tear the veil between worlds to protect her daughter. But to save the girl from inheriting her fate, Liama will have to shatter the bones of everything the Wasters have built, remaking their legacy from spilled blood.

Snake Wife is a dark, mythic feminist fantasy of mothers and daughters, ancient goddesses, and the terrible cost of terrible power.

“A haunting, folkloric story that will leave readers wanting more.” – IndieReader
