Snake's Whisper — Christian A. Brown

War is coming. The gods are watching. And the Aspects are done running.Their awakening shook the world-now the reckoning begins. As eldritch storms crawl over America, four bonded souls must master what they are or be devoured by it: an elemental warrior forged in fire and earth; a gifted seer haunted by the end; a raven-claimed spellweaver with magic in his blood; a shadow-marked survivor who refuses to break.Together, they are the Aspects-witches, godbeasts, and humanity's last hope. But enemies rise on every road: cults and corporations, ancestral curses and ancient beasts. Even allies have teeth. In the technomagical fortress of Evermore, they will be trained for an impossible task-while a house that thinks, a curse that births gods, and love itself threaten to unmake them.Step deeper into Orphans, where: Urban fantasy collides with Indigenous mythology in a mythic road trip across a ruined AmericaCosmic horror coils through dreams, rituals, and kissesFound family stands against prophecy-and pays the priceShadows on the board: Steve slips further under Leng's command; Octavia Mothmann wages war with womb and blood; and Gabriel's empire fractures from within.Perfect for readers of The Atlas Six, The Locked Tomb, and dark urban fantasy where magic has teeth and love has consequences.The Deep One stirs. The choice is simple and ruinous: save this world-or become its end.Continue the Orphans saga in Snake's Whisper.
