Everyone thinks she's dead. So why are they still coming after her?
Tillie's world was shattered when a dangerous secret society of mages targeted her last month. She thought she'd tricked them into believing they'd succeeded, but when one of their agents starts stalking her, she and her twin sister, Mattie are shocked and terrified -- again.
It looks like taking herself out of the picture won't work. They're going to have to take down the entire organization. But how can a handful of novice mages destroy an international cabal of cunning magic-users that's been around for centuries?
The Viper's Head is the second book in the fast-paced Mathilda Holiday series. Great for readers who love books with diverse casts – including lgbt+, disabled, neurodivergent, and older characters – plus plenty of intrigue and humor. If you enjoy books by Nicholas Woode-Smith, Emma Shelford, Kim Richardson, and Lisa Edmonds, you’ll love this suspenseful, supernatural series.
Anna McCluskey is an Oregon-based, semi-nomadic, almost-entirely-feral fantasy author. When she isn't writing (and sometimes even when she is) you can find her traveling around the country on the train, having the weirdest adventures ever. You can read about these adventures on her Substack, The Neurodivergent Nomad.
She is the author of the Mathilda Holiday series, the Rhymes With Witch series, and the upcoming Warrior Mage Librarians series. She has had several poems published in journals and anthologies, and her short fiction has been read by at least a dozen people, many of whom murmured appreciatively about it.
Her dog's name is Chalupa.
