Snake Wife is an intense and intimate exploration of motherhood nestled in a lush feminist fantasy.
When Liama, who can stop a man’s heart with a single thought, finds herself captive to a powerless man, she must shatter an ancient legacy to protect her daughter from inheriting the same fate.
In this mythic fantasy of reclaimed power and fierce maternal love, one woman's fight for freedom will determine whether the power-bearing women who come after her live as weapons or warriors.
