Snake Night (A Graphic Novel)

Hidden passages, mythical snakes, and cryptic conspiracies … at this secret night school, a failing grade is the least of Rose’s worries.

Rose was just trying to get into her school science club—on her own terms, without the help of her famous scientist of a father. All she has to do is convince the club leaders that alchemy is a serious science. But when her attempts to capture video evidence lead her and her best friend Elijah to a mysterious night school rumored to dabble in alchemy, they stumble into an ancient conspiracy involving a phantom snake, hidden codes, and the fabled guardian of the Golden Fleece.

As Rose digs deeper, the line between myth and reality begins to blur. With new friends at her side, she must navigate secret passages, alchemical puzzles, and dangerous truths before the night swallows her whole.
