Book Description by Author:

Banished! Forgotten! Lost!

 

So vicious was the last attack on Ulka, that she lost her memories and her abilities.

 

Her entry to the parallel earth was well publicized. Broadcast by media, made viral by the internet.

 

With time she gained back her memories and her powers. Once again pulled into the saving-the-world business, she makes new friends and foes.

 

During a high profile rescue operation, the evil from her past catches up and she’s struck by the deadly Vikruid magic.

 

Will her friends help her survive? And will they together take down their nemesis who’s always a step ahead?

 

If you enjoy action-packed stories with an ensemble of superpowers, you will love Serpent’s Reign.
