Description
How far would you go to outwit death?
Ravaged by cancer and facing the abyss, brilliant but unhinged scientist Dr. Minerval turns to forbidden knowledge, fusing arcane mathematics with ancient Egyptian rites in a last, blasphemous bid for immortality. To complete his dark equation, he must pass through seven gates in seven days, each opened by the suffering of a chosen soul.
As his victims fall one by one, Lucy Williams, a psychic detective haunted by her own visions, is drawn into the web of ritual and terror. What she uncovers defies all logic: this is no ordinary serial killer, but a man attempting to rewrite the laws of life and death.
Now, Lucy must stop him before the final gate opens and humanity’s fate is sealed. But Minerval’s obsession hides a terrible truth: Lucy herself is part of the plan.
The Serpent’s Gate is a pulse-pounding fusion of occult mystery and psychological thriller, a chilling descent into the shadows of science, faith, and the desperate hunger for eternal life.
Advance Praise
"A riveting fusion of science, mysticism, and terror, The Serpent’s Gate grips like a fever dream, unraveling obsession, mortality, and the perilous cost of defying death," The International Review of Books.
