Amidst the celestial battleground of the Western and Eastern Heavens, a young Eastern prince becomes ensnared in a divine conflict, haunted by the ominous shadow of a demonic serpent. As the gods he cherishes endure successive losses, the prince wrestles with the burden of responsibility, stemming from his own perceived cowardice. Upon completing his earthly mission and returning to the Eastern Heaven, he confronts a new conflict within the divine realms. Caught between asserting his own will and adhering to family expectations, the prince must navigate treacherous celestial politics. In a desperate bid to rescue a cherished friend from the escalating conflict, the Western prince makes a harrowing decision: to trade his very soul to the demon.

With his Southwestern series, bestselling author James D. Doss and his dryly humorous, no-nonsense Native American sleuth, Charlie Moon, have brought law and what's going to have to pass for order to Charlie's Columbine Ranch and the nearby Ute reservation. Now the seven-foot rancher and part-time tribal investigator wants to carve out a little more space for himself alongside FBI Special Agent Lila Mae McTeague. That's right: Charlie has it in his head that he's going to get hitched. That is, unless Charlie's irascible aunt, her sixteen-year-old niece, and their visions of a dead woman—her throat slit from ear to ear—have anything to say about it. With a bit of romance and full measure of murder, Snake Dreams, the thirteenth in James D. Doss's widely loved Charlie Moon series, is a haunting tale best told under a full moon and beside a crackling fire.
