After a near-fatal encounter with a venomous snake, young Ebony Maher defies all odds by making a miraculous recovery.

Two years later, Ebony manifests powers and abilities that can only be described as snakelike. Events come to a head as the consequences of her medical miracle tear apart everything she has known.

Lost and alone, guidance appears in the form of Shesha, a mysterious snake charmer who inducts Ebony into a sisterhood of women who share the same strange origins.

Little does Ebony know that Shesha and his family are far from the saviours that she had thought them to be.

Will she discover the truth? Or will her destiny be irrevocably entwined with Shesha's?
