About this listen

Pulse-pounding action, shocking twists, and a world built on propaganda and betrayal, The Serpent Shield is a high-stakes dystopian thriller filled with genetically engineered threats and dark secrets.

"One more kill, and Xander McBride will reign at the top of the leaderboard."

The rules are simple:
DESTROY the threat
PROTECT
the nation
CLIMB
the leaderboard
WIN IT ALL

In his world, heroism isn’t just earned—it’s broadcast to millions as entertainment. Xander, a Peacekeeper in the Serpent Defense Unit, and his genetically engineered serpent, Jax, hunt enemies in missions televised as relentless reality shows. Every victory inches him closer to his life’s dream of commanding the nation’s most elite force, cementing his place as a national icon.

But beneath the applause and polished media feed lies a monstrous secret, one that threatens to unravel everything Xander has fought for.

Now, he must decide:

Stay the nation’s hero…

Or face a truth that could destroy his world—and everyone he holds dear.
