Fleeing from what should have been a perfect crime, four crooks in a black Mustang race into the Pennsylvania highlands. On the backseat, a briefcase full of cash. On their tail, a tattooed madman who wants them dead. The driver calls himself Axle. A local boy, he knows the landscape, the coal-hauling roads and steep trails that lead to the perfect hideout: the crater of an abandoned mine. But Axle fears the crater. Terrible things happened there. Things that he has spent years trying to forget. Enter Kwetis, the nightflyer, a specter from Axle's ancestral past. Part memory, part nightmare, Kwetis has planned a heist of his own. And soon Axle, his partners in crime, and their pursuer will learn that their arrival at the mine was foretold long ago . . . and that each of them is a piece of a plan devised by the spirits of the Earth.

<p>Axle and Bird are back from the dead. No longer merely human, they must now work to further the oohaate-the spirit path. Whether they will like what they find at the journey's end remains to be seen, but for now, there's no turning back. An explosion at Windslow Mine has set things in motion. The forest is crawling with snakes, driven from their nests by underground fires. And the snakes are not alone. Other forces are emerging, rising from the earth's molten veins, preparing to reclaim a smoldering world. By daybreak, the residents of Windslow, Pennsylvania, will know that the world is burning beneath them. By daybreak, the nightmare begins. VIPERS is the sequel to Lawrence C. Connolly's critically acclaimed debut novel, VEINS.</p>
