“The Serpent’s Tale” is a Fangborn story set in 13th-century England from the award-winning author of Seven Types of Hell. When the villagers of Godestone record a series of bizarre and troubling occasions, Sir Hugo, his heavily pregnant wife, Lady Alice, and her distant kinsman Father Gilbert are honor bound to research, for they are “created towards the Fang,” shape-shifters dedicated to fighting bad in secret. As well as the events are worrying certainly – stolen plantation implements, a mutilated goat, and now a missing kid. Their investigation is normally further complicated by the arrival of Robert Fynch, who was simply drawn to the scene by the stories of strange happenings in the town. A member of the fanatical Order of Nicomedia, he is bent on searching for and killing those “given birth to to the Fang,” believing the shape-shifters to be demons, as opposed to the protectors of humanity they truly are. Can Lady Alice, Sir Hugo, and Dad Gilbert stop a murderer within their village without their true nature being discovered?
