Suria Olza was trained from birth to be a princess, a soldier, a living symbol of her queendom’s strength. But as graduation nears, cracks begin to form in the image she has spent her whole life protecting. A disastrous exam, a devastating loss, and a strange curse mark the start of something she cannot control. Her family’s power allows her to rewind time, but not nearly far enough to escape her failures. When her realm comes under deadly threat, Suria is forced to rely on an eccentric young pilot with questionable hygiene, questionable morals, and no sense of self-preservation. As her mask begins to crumble, Suria must face the truth that perfection cannot save her. What will remain when there is nothing left to hide behind? Fangs of the Serpent is a sapphic space opera about intimacy, betrayal, and the silent struggle of letting someone see who you truly are. A story of soft things surviving in hard places, and the cost of choosing love over legacy.
