FELLOWS OF THE SNAKE (preview)

Len is determined to say no. His team has already been eliminated from the world's most prestigious tech competition and nearly expelled for breaking into a century-old magi carrier beached on the shore, a relic from the day humanity lost control of the world. Then Barbara, a junior with knowledge she has no business possessing, proposes an illegal way back into the competition. She refuses to explain why. Len says yes. He always says yes to Barbara. A century after the Takeover, daily life looks almost unchanged. There are schools, friendships, first crushes. But all real knowledge belongs to wizards, carefully dispensed through magi and watched over by observers. Len, Barbara, and Lina — a senior from a region where such knowledge is nearly forbidden — formed their tech club team as outsiders. What they and their friends are about to uncover was never meant for humans at all. And once they start pulling at it, there's no going back. A young adult science fiction/fantasy adventure with crossover appeal for readers who enjoy mystery, coming-of-age stories, and slow-burn romance.This submission contains the opening chapters of the novel.
