Serpent in White by Nyla K

BOOK BLURB

Deep in the Empyrean forest… Nothing stays hidden.

We are The Principality, and our community is special. Some of us joined, some were born into it. But regardless of how we got here, we all serve him.

Our Head Priest is a wise and fearless leader. All-knowing, the secrets of our land are spoken to him through the air. We follow him willingly, worshipping the Earth as intended. While his brother lurks in the shadows...

But who is this King I can’t stop watching, so captivating and beautiful? And who is the man with the snake eyes?

I must know more about them both…

I must peek beneath the cover.

Unearthing the truth brings me between a King and a Serpent, and the lust we share isn’t the only unexpected gift. What is a young servant to do but follow his path?

I will seek answers in the woods of the mountain...

Where existence is not what it seems.

REVIEW

Every time I read a Nyla K book I find I need time to process everything before I can wrap my head around everything that happened and formulate my thoughts. Nyla's writing is something else. Each book is so unique and has a way of opening my mind up and making me think just a bit deeper. It's such a special talent and quality she possesses as a writer. Serpent in White is Nyla's retelling of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale of The White Snake. The parallels were 💋

Now. To dig into Serpent in White. Where do I even begin? This book hooked me immediately. Nyla starts painting a picture of this new world. We dive into the Empyrean forest headfirst. This book is poetic and deep yet trippy. Fantastical. With a slight touch of paranormal aspect? Maybe? But I can’t even stress enough how DEEP this book is. At 24% in I was already convinced this book is Nyla's best writing to date. I can feel that that this book truly flowed from her soul. Does that sound crazy? Idc because I feel it.

Abdiel, the servant. Darian, the King. Drake, the Serpent. Each man has special qualities that wove their way into my heart. My favorite part of the charcaters in general is they're a study of contradictions. Very similar in that respect to Joyless. I love that Nyla’s characters test the boundaries of expectations. The characters are unique. They're all strong is so many ways, but vulnerable in other ways and facets that are beautiful and surprising.

As Nyla warns, Rhiannon, the Princess, comes into the book much later in the story. She added another layer of depth to an already deep story. Each character was vitally needed for the characters to complete their own journey. Each piece a unique part of an unexpected whole. It’s hard to explain without spoiling anything, but it’s very true.

The cult aspect of the book is very subtle. After reading this book, I was more than convinced the Expanse is THE place to be. Close to people, to god and the earth. It sounds fabulous. Seriously. Each person with a purpose and able to make use of their talents regardless of social standing or education. Sign me up! And, as always, please make sure to be ready for twists! Nyla is the queen of those. Definitely at the top of my favorite books list. I will be adding the paperback and hardcover to my signed book collection.

ABOUT NYLA K

Indie author of Flipping Hot Fiction. I write big books and I cannot lie, *insert smirky face* of the taboo and forbidden romance variety.

I love reading all kinds of fiction, although I have a passion for the dirty, smutty, taboo, and almost any other kind of romantic, erotic, love story. My books are not for the faint of heart. Meaning that I'm still getting used to being able to look people in the eye after they tell me they've read my book. But it's a work in progress.

I like my books sexy, funny, light-hearted, dramatic, relevant, and boundary-pushing... But mostly, I love them unique and well-written! Life's too short to read the same story redone over and over. I also believe in having an open mind, when reading and just in life. I personally don't have any reservations or hang-ups when reading "triggering" subjects. My books are a judgement-free zone!!
