Under the Serpent Stars

By Jaycel Ibuan Ibuan LJ and Jaycel Ibuan

Celine grew up believing her stepmother was her real mother, while the woman who gave her life pursued her dream among the stars. Fascinated by constellations from childhood, she found wonder in the cosmos, yet friendship, family, and love proved far more complicated. Childhood friends turned into bullies, jealousy simmered within her family, and romantic feelings were misunderstood-but loyal allies stood by her side.

A single act of bravery-saving an elderly woman from an attack-pulls Celine into an unexpected marriage with Matthew, the woman's grandson. Misunderstanding and mistrust mark the early days of their union, as Celine sacrifices her dreams to support her family. Yet her brilliance cannot be dimmed. She discovers a new constellation, reunites with her real mother, and learns that ambition, love, and forgiveness can guide even the most unexpected journeys.

Under the Serpent Stars is a sweeping tale of ambition, love, betrayal, and destiny, where the heart and the stars illuminate the path to one's true self.
