Synopsis

#1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Charlaine Harris returns to her alternate history of the United States, where magic is an acknowledged but despised power, in this fourth installment of the Gunnie Rose series.

Felicia, Lizbeth Rose’s younger half sister and student at the Grigori school within the capital of the New Holy Russian Empire in San Diego, is caught between secrets and powerful family struggles. As a distant relative to the Tsar, she provides an essential service
to him with blood transfusions for his hemophilia, and she is thus given rare access and dismissed as if cattle. At the Grigori school she is seen as a charity case, a poor orphan with no prospects and no sign of magical prowess—the latter which Felicia keeps purposefully
hidden. And yet, when a kidnapping attempt is made upon Felicia her past and her future crash together in violent ways.

Continuing immediately after The Russian Cage, this fantastical fourth book takes a side step, exploring the Holy Russian Empire while also showcasing the dynamic depths of magic within Harris’s alternate North America in curious mysteries. Felicia, it turns out, is far more
than the Russian-Mexican waif Lizbeth rescued, and though the journey she is on is filled with magical assassins and desperation, Felicia will discover her courage and never give in to the limitations imposed upon her.

The Serpent in Heaven continues the saga of the Gunnie Rose series with an extraordinary twist, yet filled with the magic-fueled mystery and romance Harris’s readers expect.

Author Daniel Keyes has presented a very riveting description of the human condition if it is pushed too far. I have read this book twice and I have to say that it is one of the best books I have ever read. Enduring unbelievably cruel tortures as a child at the hands of his stepfather, including sod......more

Goodreads review by Rob on July 28, 2020

Su questo libro devo fare una distinzione: c’è la storia, e poi c’è il libro. La storia è una delle più incredibili, tragiche, strazianti che abbia mai sentito, e Billy Milligan è una persona straordinariamente forte. Nonostante non abbia avuto altro che sofferenza e dolore dalla vita, non si è mai......more

Goodreads review by Fitrani on December 01, 2010

This book is a serious mind fuck for me. When it comes to writing technique; this book lacks of dramatic elements, and the language used is too clinical, too many characters, and probably the conversations in the book were transcribed from tapes. But once I took the book, I was drawn so deeply by the......more
