The Serpent's Shadow by Daniel Braum

Trade Paperback. Recommended! 

"The Serpent’s Shadow is a tale that slithers under your skin and grips you until the last sentence." - Michelle Garza, Co-Author of Mayan Blue

In Cancun 1986, Mayans and Mexicans are fighting each other using strange powers they do not understand. A young American, alive with his first taste of star-crossed love, finds himself caught in the crossfire. Who is the mysterious and deadly White Lady murdering tourists? What strange, otherworldly things wait in the jungle? Will our young hero beware or heed Saint Death’s call?

Braum's debut novel delivers a smart, character-driven adventure in the unique and powerful style readers encountered in his story collection, The Night Marchers and Other Strange Tales. Richly depicted Central American settings combine with strange cosmic forces, including a monster large enough to knock the moon out of orbit with a brush of its tail.

Enter the jungle where The Serpent’s Shadow looms over the fate of an embattled city and a young man’s dream.
