Book Description
It began with an unprovoked attack. Thirteen-year-old Emyni duma Duseg, the daughter of a brick maker, fought back the only way she knew how: with fire conjured by sheer will alone. That night she revealed herself as a Firedancer, a child born with uncontrollable otherworldly power. Her power attracted the attention of friend and foe alike, and even the gaze of the Dread Goddess Erishkigal. And when she came into possession of the Dread Goddess's powerful relic, Erishkigal's Gage, her already tumultuous life took an even more bizarre turn. Kidnapped by an evil priest and his gang of mercenaries, Emyni must turn to the only being who can help her: the Dread Goddess herself. "Snake Charmer" is the sequel to "Firedancer," an epic coming-of-age fantasy tale set in fictional Early Bronze Age Mesopotamia. Join Emyni in discovering this exotic, ancient land in an adventure filled with myth, magick, and action.
