The Serpent's Shadow

In the fog-drenched streets of a modern city, Detective Rafael Torres is thrust into a chilling investigation when a string of ritualistic murders shocks the community. The victims, found with serpent-like symbols carved into their skin, point to something far more sinister than an ordinary crime. As Rafael delves deeper into the mystery, he uncovers an ancient cult worshiping Ophion, a mythical serpent god banished to the underworld centuries ago.

With the help of expert Elena S嫕chez, a scholar of ancient mythology, Rafael races against time to prevent the completion of a deadly ritual designed to invoke Ophion's return. Each murder is a step closer to unleashing chaos upon the world, as the cult's fanatical leader believes they can harness the power of the ancient god to reshape reality.

As Rafael's investigation unfolds, he finds himself haunted by vivid dreams and eerie visions of serpentine temples, blurring the line between myth and reality. With the stakes higher than ever, Rafael must confront not only a dangerous killer but also the disturbing possibility that he is more connected to the ancient prophecy than he dares to admit.

A thrilling mix of crime, mythology, and the supernatural, The Serpent's Shadow explores the age-old battle between light and darkness-and what happens when ancient forces awaken in the modern world.
