    About this ebook

    Julian's delusions of a quiet life in self-imposed exile are shattered when his best friend Kamel - whom he has not seen or spoken to in three years - tracks him down, bearing tragic news from home. He succeeds in persuading Julian to return to their home of Tarabalus - the bustling economic hub of The Kingdom of Madyan - so that he can find redemption in the eyes of his closest friends, whom he had abandoned three years prior without warning following an incident of unspeakable savagery - an incident that he had found himself incapable of coping with.

    Now in Madyan once again, Julian discovers that the road to his salvation is far more convoluted than he could have ever anticipated as he is forced to reflect on the darkest and most savage memories of his troubled past in order to be forgiven by those he's wronged - and eventually, to be able to forgive himself.

    Infused with mythological imagery and thought-provoking spirituality, Samsara's Serpents is an exploration of the consequences of one's own actions. It is a retelling of one of humanity's most ancient stories - the story of death and rebirth, and the potency of self-betterment through renewal. But most prominently, It is a celebration of friendship, and the enduring power it has to triumph over life's greatest challenges - even when it is at its most sadistic and unrelenting.

    Samsara's Serpents is author F. Ghazi's debut full-length novel.
