Paperback, Very Good condition
Genre: Historical Fantasy
Maya Witherspoon lived most of the first twenty-five year of her life in her native India. As the daughter of a British physician and a Brahmin woman of the highest caste, she graduated from the University of Delhi as a Doctor of Medicine by the age of twenty-two.
But the science of medicine was not Maya's only heritage. For Maya's aristocratic mother Surya was a sorceress-a former priestess of the mystical magics fueled by the powerful and fearsome pantheon of Indian gods.
Though Maya felt the stirring of magic in her blood, her mother had repeatedly refused to train her. "I cannot," she had said, whenever Maya asked. "Yours is the magic of your father's blood, not mine."
Surya had never had the chance to explain this enigmatic statement to her daughter before a mysterious illness claimed her life. Yet it was Maya's father's death shortly thereafter that confirmed her darkest suspicions. In the last hours of her mother's life, Surya had repeatedly warned Maya to beware "the serpent's shadow." Maya knew she must flee the land of her birth or face the same fate as her parents.
In self-imposed exile in Edwardian London, Maya knew that she could not hid forever from the vindictive power that had murdered her parents. Her only hope was to find a way to master her own magic: the magic of her father's blood. But who would teach her? And could she learn enough to save her life by the time her relentless pursuers caught up with their prey?
