About the Book:
Geologist Petra Dee and the
citizens of Temperance, Wyoming come up against a venomous enemy, not to
mention a biker gang that’s hell on wheels, in the second book in Laura
Bickle’s Dark Alchemy series.
Something venomous has come to
Temperance…
It’s been two months since Petra
Dee and her coyote sidekick Sig faced off against Temperance’s resident
alchemist, but things are far from quiet. When an Internet video of a massive
snake in the backcountry of Yellowstone goes viral, a chase for the mythical
basilisk is on. Monster hunters swarm into the area, and never one to pass up
the promise of discovery, Petra joins in the search.
Among the newcomers is a snake
cult on wheels - the biker gang Sisters of Serpens. Unlike some, the Sisters
don’t want to kill the basilisk - they want to worship it. But things get
complicated when the basilisk develops a taste for human flesh that rivals the
Sisters’ own murderous skills.
Meanwhile, the alchemical tree of
life is dying, and the undead Hanged Men of Temperance who depend on it know
the basilisk may be their last chance for survival.
With time running out for
everyone around her, Petra will be forced to decide who survives and who she
must leave behind in this action-packed sequel to Dark Alchemy.
