The Serpent and the Crown

A kingdom on the brink. A monstrous army rising. And a young warrior carrying a destiny he never asked for. When the Cruxai—an unstoppable horde of scaled killers—descend from the north, the peaceful lands of Galdea fall into chaos. Villages burn. Warriors vanish. And deep beneath the earth, something older and far more terrifying begins to stir. Jankaro never wanted to be a hero. Torn from his jungle homeland and tested by gods, beasts, and the brutality of war, he carries a secret even he barely understands: a connection to a powerful serpent spirit whose price for aid grows darker by the day. But when the Cruxai sweep across the land, destroying everything in their path, Jankaro is thrust into a destiny he cannot escape. To save the people who have taken him in, he must ride the legendary Ashtari—the great jungle cat of myth—and face horrors no mortal should survive. The Cruxai are evolving. Their leader, the ruthless Agustin, wields ancient magic and a monstrous new weapon born from blood, stone, and sorcery. With each conquest, their army grows. Their hunger deepens. Their shadow spreads. And at the heart of the storm lies the Crown—a symbol of power that crushes the unworthy… and awakens unimaginable strength in those who survive its weight. As kingdoms fall and the old gods whisper, Jankaro must decide: Will he embrace the destiny carved into his blood? Or become the next sacrifice in the Cruxai’s growing empire of bones? Perfect for fans of The Wheel of Time, Eragon, and The Way of Kings, The Serpent and the Crown blends breathtaking world-building, tribal mysticism, devastating war, and a hero’s journey forged in fire. The war for Galdea has begun. And only one warrior can ride into the jaws of darkness and return.
