Welcome to Court of Snakes - super duper omnibus edition!

Thank you SO much for being super fans and wanting to get involved with this project before launch. You guys get special access to the campaign before everyone else, so if you'd like to back early, go for it! This helps me reach my goal more quickly and show Backerkit that my project is worth boosting to others!

Without further ado, let's get into the book...


Court of Snakes: The Omnibus

What is Court of Snakes: The Series?

Do you love politically charged fantasy?
Young rulers forced to inherit broken systems?
Morally messy characters trying their best in a world stacked against them?
Found family, rebellion, and survival under oppressive power?

"If you're looking for a YA dystopian fantasy with a unique magic system and a fast pace story, highly recommend this. It's action packed, has a cast of diverse, fully realized characters, and boasts a magic system based on tarot cards."
— YW Lumaris, Author of Law of the Dragons | Court of Snakes: This Desert Cage, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"The magic system in this book is very fun and based on Tarot. I also enjoyed the anti capitalist commentary of the book and the unique world building. It is dystopian sci fi but it also felt deeply grounded in fantasy rather than being a high tech future which was a fun and unique take. Come for the political intrigue, stay for the banger magic system. Overall enjoyed the ride!"
— Lukas W. | Court of Snakes: This Desert Cage, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Truly an exciting ride filled with trials and tribulations. Characters are so lovable that you are rooting for justice until the very end, including the unexpected.”
— Cindy D. | Court of Snakes: Bitter Truth, Honeyed Justice, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Court of Snakes is a YA Political Dystopian fantasy series about youth inheriting a world shaped by cruelty and daring to change it anyway.

Set in a city on the brink of collapse, the series follows Terran and Parisa as they navigate leadership, unrest, and the quiet violence of systems designed to fail the most vulnerable. Resources are dwindling. The people are restless. Power is dangerous in the wrong hands and irresistible in the right ones.

This campaign is about bringing Court of Snakes into a single, killer omnibus. Reading digitally is great, but holding the story in your hands matters. Court of Snakes: This Desert Cage was 120% funded on Kickstarter, and readers loved it! Now it's time to finish the story.

Court of Snakes is very much inspired by what's happening to marginalized people around me all the time now and how I myself have been impacted by broken systems. It’s fast-paced, character-driven, and deeply personal. It's built around themes of systemic oppression, legacy, survival, and hope. It’s about what happens when young people are handed power they never asked for and decide whether to repeat the past or burn it down and build something better.

If you love fantasy that interrogates power (readers of The Hunger Games and Fullmetal Alchemist, I'm looking at you!), centers marginalized voices, and believes that survival itself is an act of rebellion...


About the Project

Court of Snakes is set in a fractured desert city where power is hoarded, truth is dangerous, and survival often comes at a moral cost.

A complete duology, Court of Snakes blends court intrigue with rebellion, found family, and sharp-edged humor. At its heart, it explores systemic oppression, inherited power, empathy as resistance, and what it means to build something better from a broken world.
