Twelve-year-old Seh is a snake-style master and a keeper of secrets. Close-lipped and ever-watchful, he has used his highly attuned senses to collect information about his brothers, his temple, and even Grandmaster. Now, with the temple and Grandmaster gone, Seh sheds his orange robe like an old skin, joins a bandit gang, and meets a mysterious woman whose name means Cobra—all the while trying to stay one step ahead of vengeful Ying!

"I like that this book had very little repetition of events from the first two books. I am still intrigued to find out how everyone fits together. The part with the dumpling shop was DISGUSTING. I really liked the story, though. Hopefully the next books (I have the next 3 on hold) come soon! "
