Arroyo Santos can turn invisible, breathe underwater, and channel lightning through his fingertips. Too bad he just discovered he's heir to an underwater kingdom he never knew existed—and they expect him to stop a war.

Half-human, half-Naga serpent being, Arroyo is the prophesied Bridge Prince destined to unite two worlds. But first, he has to pass four deadly trials, navigate treacherous palace politics, rescue his imprisoned father, and master powers that could either save civilizations—or destroy them.

Oh, and prevent a power-hungry usurper from enslaving both realms.

With his best friend transformed into an amphibious diplomat and a mysterious shadow prince as his guide, Arroyo must dive into the magnificent depths of Naga Loka—a hidden civilization of coral spires, ancient magic, and secrets that could shatter everything he thought he knew about himself.

Four trials. Two worlds. One impossible choice: which half of himself will he sacrifice?

The answer? Neither.

Blending Hindu mythology with contemporary adventure, The Serpent Prince: Trials of Patala is a diverse YA fantasy about identity, belonging, and discovering that our greatest power lies not in choosing sides—but in building bridges between them.

Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson, Raya and the Last Dragon, and readers who crave mythology-inspired adventures with heart.
