The Serpent (Atlan, #1) by Jane Gaskell PDF Free

In the lost world of prehistory, a girl is born. Is she a Goddess? Cija herself believes that she is. For 17 years her mother, the Dictatress, has kept her imprisoned in a tower. She releases her, with one object in view: to seduce Zerd, the snake-scaled “Dragon-General” of an occupying army, then stab him to death. Thru the forests of the sling-using Fouls, among the reptile birds, in lands where half-human hybrids are kept as pets, Cija travels with the Northern Army. In the great vicious City of the South, Zerd makes plans with the Southerners to attack the fabulous Continent of Atlan, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Cija escapes and is pursued. She finds a lover; there is fighting between the Northern and Southern armies; she suffers rape at the hands of two very different men… This fantastic story of love, jealousy and sudden death is unlike anything you have ever read. It grips the imagination from start to finish.
