The Serpent Gene - Book One, Eden Falls Series
by Dorianne AsheSeries: Eden FallsThriller Science FictionBook Overview
Humanity’s ancient inheritance is waking up, and our history has been a total lie!On a cold January night in 2037, a routine blood test changes everything. President Marcus Hale’s DNA lights up with markers older than civilization; engineered, serpentine, and never meant to surface. What begins as one impossible result explodes into a global emergency: a hidden genetic legacy carried by a select few of the world’s most powerful people is activating.
As dormant sequences ignite under stress and adrenaline, pupils slit sideways, senses sharpen to predatory levels, and something ancient stirs beneath human skin. The Firstborn’s forgotten gift, the Serpent Gene, has returned.
While the public is kept in the dark, Hale and his doctor orchestrate the largest covert blood-screening operation in history, disguised as a global health drill. One by one, the Carriers are summoned: tech billionaires, media titans, political strategists, spiritual leaders. Gathered in secret beneath the White House, they witness both miracle and nightmare; bodies rewriting themselves in real time, some surviving the transformation, others torn apart by it.
Loyalty is tested. Dissenters are purged. And a new elite is born.
But the real coup is only beginning. Because the awakened don’t want to save the old world.
They intend to replace it.
A dark, mythic thriller of forbidden genetics, creeping authoritarianism, and primordial power rising from within, The Serpent Gene is the explosive first chapter in the Eden Falls Chronicles—where the line between evolution and domination vanishes, and humanity’s next step may wear scales.
