Serpent In White: A Twisted Tales Novel Kindle Edition
Deep in the Empyrean forest… Nothing stays hidden.
We are The Principality, and our community is special. Some of us joined, some were born into it. But regardless of how we got here, we all serve him.
Our Head Priest is a wise and fearless leader. All-knowing, the secrets of our land are spoken to him through the air. We follow him willingly, worshipping the Earth as intended. While his brother lurks in the shadows...
But who is this King I can’t stop watching, so captivating and beautiful? And who is the man with the snake eyes?
I must know more about them both…
I must peek beneath the cover.
Unearthing the truth brings me between a King and a Serpent, and the lust we share isn’t the only unexpected gift. What is a young servant to do but follow his path?
I will seek answers in the woods of the mountain...
Where existence is not what it seems.

If you're looking for the same old story, you won't get that with Nyla K. But if you want complex characters, and stories that stick in your mind like a bad case of crabs... you've come to the right place ;).

- Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2025I just went to my 1st Book Event (Wild and Windy in Phoenix) and Nyla was on a panel of 5 different authors that write erotica, at that point I had never read her work before. An audience member asked what’s a favorite book you wrote or character you love most, she said Serpent in White and she was flummoxed that it hadn’t done better. After listening to her speak I was intrigued. I started reading the book that day and only put it down to sleep practically- the characters were so solidly built and so very sexy, the setting was perfectly written and it made me want to live there. The Authors Note at the end was excellent. I am a new and very happy fan- Thank you Nyla!

This was very dark and different but it most definitely kept me wanting to know what happens next. This is about two young men who flee from an abusive and troubled past and find love in the least likely place. As Darian and Drake grow into men out in the Wilderness they begin to build a community that lets them and their people live a self sustaining life away from the cruelty of society in the outside world. But even in a close community there are things that are still able to hurt you and you still may face judgment and find that secrets must be kept. Many years later there is the sweet Abdiel who is just beginning to find himself and who he is. Falling in love with his king and his serpent is easy it’s finding fulfilling happiness with them that is the challenge. When he feels he must find answers and enlightenment he hikes into the mountains where he meets a girl named Rhiannon. When Rhiannon enters their lives things begin to get even more intriguing and she helps things to fall in to place for the entire commune. The ending was both heartbreaking and beautiful. There is a lot to this story and it’s definitely a very interesting read there are some aspects that may be triggering to some so do be aware of TW. If you are ok with MMMF and love characters that are incredibly strong willed who love with their entire heart and soul you’ll most definitely enjoy this book!!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2021Every time I read a Nyla K book I find I need time to process everything before I can wrap my head around everything that happened and formulate my thoughts. Nyla's writing is something else. Each book is so unique and has a way of opening my mind up and making me think just a bit deeper. It's such a special talent and quality she possesses as a writer. Serpent in White is Nyla's retelling of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale of The White Snake. The parallels were 💋
Now. To dig into Serpent in White. Where do I even begin? This book hooked me immediately. Nyla starts painting a picture of this new world. We dive into the Empyrean forest headfirst. This book is poetic and deep yet trippy. Fantastical. With a slight touch of paranormal aspect? Maybe? But I can’t even stress enough how DEEP this book is. At 24% in I was already convinced this book is Nyla's best writing to date. I can feel that that this book truly flowed from her soul. Does that sound crazy? Idc because I feel it.
Abdiel, the servant. Darian, the King. Drake, the Serpent. Each man has special qualities that wove their way into my heart. My favorite part of the charcaters in general is they're a study of contradictions. Very similar in that respect to Joyless. I love that Nyla’s characters test the boundaries of expectations. The characters are unique. They're all strong is so many ways, but vulnerable in other ways and facets that are beautiful and surprising.
As Nyla warns, Rhiannon, the Princess, comes into the book much later in the story. She added another layer of depth to an already deep story. Each character was vitally needed for the characters to complete their own journey. Each piece a unique part of an unexpected whole. It’s hard to explain without spoiling anything, but it’s very true.
The cult aspect of the book is very subtle. After reading this book, I was more than convinced the Expanse is THE place to be. Close to people, to god and the earth. It sounds fabulous. Seriously. Each person with a purpose and able to make use of their talents regardless of social standing or education. Sign me up! And, as always, please make sure to be ready for twists! Nyla is the queen of those. Definitely at the top of my favorite books list. I will be adding the paperback and hardcover to my signed book collection.

SPOILERS AHEAD
So I went into this worrying that I wouldn't like it because of the drug use, but I loved the mmm/f. Turns out it went opposite for me. I didn't mind the drug because of the effect it left them with which I loved. I actually enjoyed the cult part. I liked the angst and the relationship between all three guys, though I was ready for that to resolve around 55% in.
Then Rhiannon came in and it just felt a little forced to me, as well as slowing down and dragging out. I could understand Abdiels reaction to her the most tbh, but I pretty much couldn't stand her after the office scene. Cause who the hell would do that... and I just didn't really feel the connection with her and any of them at all. It felt too insta love for no real reason. And her whole "mistake"? Idk. I just really didn't like her by the end, and then the end happened.... and I'm slightly annoyed.
My feelings are complicated about this book, because for the most part, I just thoroughly enjoy Nyla's writing style, the mmm relationship was bomb, and the sex was off the charts per usual! But unfortunately I just felt that Rhiannon wasn't necessary. I do feel like the foreshadowing was done really well as well, though I was left sort of unsurprised by most of it. Not complaining, just not surprised.
As for the END end.... those last few lines kind of annoy me. Cause I feel like they rewrite your perspective on the book and on Darian. I don’t love that we will never really know, so I’m gonna just let that be what it is and move on.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Stars Isn't enough!
What in the hell did I just read?! And why did I wait so long to read it?! And why am I now itching to go back and read it again?!
This is a true masterpiece, it wasn't an easy journey by any means, and I'm sitting here right now just... Kind of lost I guess? I'm not sure what to think, or what to do with myself, I'm all twisted up, and if that isn't the sign of an amazing author I'm not sure what is!
I'm not going to say much because I think this story is best going in blind as I did, but I just want to express how much love I have for these characters! When it comes to multiple partners I usually have a firm favourite. This time? I love them all equally and for different reasons!
The lion, the snake, the mouse, and the kitten.
Four totally different personalities, but also similar in ways!
I just know they will stay with me for a long long time, and this will be a book I'll think about often.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nyla did it again
If a book is written by Nyla I am definitely buying it. I was a bit sceptic at first because of the cult thing. I kept putting it off. But now that I have read it, I don't know why. I loved it sooooo much!
the story is kind of paranormalish, but also not. It is very difficult to explain. You just have to read it for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing get away
Once again Nyla succeeded to guide us through a beautiful out of the box experience. I loved the world of the expanse and though I can't say I truly understood all the hidden meanings this story provided, it still made me feel so many emotions. So thank you Nyla. I love your creative daring mind.
