Hunting the Snake Queen - Hardcover

A missing friend. A hidden society. A destiny shaped by ancient power.

When Maran's best friend Leyla is kidnapped, her world is torn apart. What begins as a desperate search for answers soon becomes a journey that forces Maran to confront secrets buried deep within her family's past. These are truths that were never meant to be uncovered.

As she follows the trail left behind by Leyla's disappearance, Maran discovers the existence of a hidden society sworn to protect Sahmeran, the legendary Queen of Serpents from Turkic mythology. Bound by ancient oaths and guarded knowledge, this society has remained in the shadows for generations. Maran is stunned to learn that her own mother once stood among its members, and that Maran herself may be connected to Sahmeran's fate.

With danger closing in, Maran joins forces with Leyla's brother and her loyal friend Lokman. Together, they travel toward Melogobia, a forbidden land spoken of only in whispers. Along the way, Maran faces betrayal, shifting loyalties, and the growing influence of dark magic that threatens to consume everything it touches.

Haunted by fear, grief, and a destiny she never wanted, Maran must decide how far she is willing to go to save the person she loves most. Every choice has consequences, and every step forward pulls her deeper into a conflict between those who protect ancient power and those who seek to claim it for themselves.

This fantasy adventure blends friendship, fate, and Turkic inspired mythology to create a richly imagined world filled with mystery, danger, and emotional depth. Ideal for readers who enjoy strong female protagonists, hidden societies, myth based fantasy, and stories where courage and loyalty are tested against overwhelming odds.
