So she saved the world. Now what? Only one warrior is capable of defeating Princess Simone in single combat: her father, the God of Martial Arts, who has been training her since she was a child. The great war between the Heavens and Hell is over, and the Asian Celestial realm is free. Simone led the Resistance against the demons that led to their defeat, but at a great personal cost – she's contaminated by demon essence, no longer an Immortal and exiled from the Heavenly realm. She's revered by grateful Celestial residents, but all she wants is a normal life on the Earthly plane, where she can study to be a marine biologist, and spend time with her loving family and supportive boyfriend. Fate has other plans for her, and she will be unwillingly drawn into a global conflict between the gods of the Asian Heavens and the demons of European Hell. 'Serpent Princess' is a fresh new entry point into the fan favourite 'Dark Heavens' universe. Join the Asian Gods of the Celestial House of the North for this lovingly crafted homage to Hong Kong's iconic martial arts dramas, and the captivating world of Wuxia fantasy.
