Uncoil, Serpent!: Lightbeard's School for the Broken
(2024)(The second book in the Delta Underground Operatives Retired series)
A novel by N A Grotepas
Sometimes you are your greatest foe.
I’ve been told that this is what I chose. That the only person I could ever blame for the obstacles stripping away all the unnecessary parts of my life is myself.
Lightbeard and Amanita keep promising me that there will come a day when I’ll understand things the way they understand them, how magic is real, how life is a journey, how none of this is just a happy accident.
Happy accident is a very, very generous way of looking at it.
I’ve gone into the abyss. Into the dark. Into the unknown. I’ve tackled terrible fears and discovered that there is untold power and strength running through me like a vein of raw gold. I don’t wish to relive what it was like to confront my demons in the labyrinth—how losing my kids brought me to my knees and forced me to stare into my own eyes in that black mirror.
What could be worse than letting my kids down?
Certainly not being asked to share Lightbeard’s school with another student. He’d be a good distraction and, if I’m honest, there’s nothing I want more than a distraction.
When that brown-eyed distraction shows up, when I’m forced to look at myself in the mirror of another person, and when the things Alder Shaw casually prophesied last Christmas start their little snowball journey down the cliffs, I must witness firsthand the genesis of an avalanche I never wanted in the first place.
If they think I asked for this, they’re completely wrong.
Is there a way to escape it? Is running an option?
This I swear: if there’s another option, I’m going to find it.
Scroll up, click buy, and continue on an unforgettable journey with Ivy Danielle, Lightbeard, and Amanita Damonica in the making of a school expressly for the broken.
Genre: Urban Fantasy
