Shekhar Kapur's Snake Woman Volume 2: The Faithful

Jessica Peterson has grown accustomed to her "snakish" ways-that is accepting the Snake Woman within. In this riveting sequel to the first trade paperback, Jess is pulled deeper into the karmic cycle of vengeance she is impelled to wreak on the 68-those who had ruthlessly desecrated the sacred temple of the Snake god in the 18th Century. Harker, head of the 68, is determined to end the cycle of reincarnation he faces by helping Jess kill those he is meant to lead. But he's becoming a bit too demanding. As the blood count gets thicker, Jess finds herself amidst a labyrinth of duplicity. Who can she trust and who will pay the price of the Snake woman's blood bath?
