Cody Miller has a bright future ahead of him with rich and
beautiful fiancée Madison. He's highly intelligent and will
soon join her father's corporate firm. Then one night it
all blows up in his face, literally, when he makes one
small mistake that changes his life forever.
After awaking from a coma, Cody finds he's horribly
disfigured and barely existing. All his plans for a
wonderful future with Madison have turned to ashes, making
Cody a bitter man. When he learns that Madison blames
herself for what happened to him, Cody finds it difficult
to reassure her otherwise. Then Madison disappears as
Cody's life takes a bizarre turn. He starts experiencing
strange, disorienting dreams that won't go away. His
memories are split into two different realities that seem
to be tied together. The one truth Cody does understand is
that Madison is now with an evil presence that takes people
who've made mistakes and promises to fix their problems. He
then takes everything from them in return, and Cody can't
allow that to happen to Madison. Will Cody's solution to
save Madison solve their problems, or will it make things
worse?
Alan Ryker's DREAM OF THE SERPENT is a complex,
heavily detailed dissertation on just how far a person will
go to save someone they love. Ryker's disturbing theory
incorporates an ancient being, who calls himself Ouroboro,
as he thrives on poor souls who've made horrible mistakes
and/or decisions in their pasts that adversely affected
everyone they loved. It's quite a thought-provoking
plotline concept.
Cody Miller is on the brink of having it all: an MBA, a
high-powered job in corporate finance, and the girl of his
dreams. And then one mistake, one unfortunate accident,
takes it all away in the blink of an eye. His future, his
health and his hope—gone—up in flames, leaving him the
victim of an unimaginably horrific injury.
Upon emerging from a coma, Cody discovers his life and
plans have been shattered. As he struggles to find the
strength to go on and a reason to live, he slowly begins to
realize things may not be as they seem. His life has
changed more than he could've ever imagined, but someone…or
something…may be working beneath the surface…changing the
world around him, altering lives and procuring victims…an
ancient evil that hides in plain sight and destroys as it
consumes.
To uncover the truth, Cody will have to forget everything
he thought he knew about reality in order to salvage his
sanity and save the life of the woman he loves.
How much would you give, how far would you go, what would
you sacrifice, to save the person you love more than life
itself? From deep within the flames, Cody Miller is about
to find out.
