A snake spirit who transforms into a boy must hide his true identity from a headstrong prince in this retelling of the traditional Chinese folktale
When Prince Xian was a boy, a white snake bit his mother and condemned her to a slow, painful death. The only known cure is an elusive spirit pearl—or an antidote created from the rare white snake itself. Desperate and determined, Xian travels to the city of Changle, where an oracle predicted he would find and capture a white snake.
In Changle, Xian encounters the enigmatic stable boy Zhen – a white snake who acquired a human form after consuming a spirit pearl. Will the truth about Zhen’s identity force the prince to make a drastic decision?
