Golden-scaled serpent Lyra is murdered by her foster sister Vera and Logan in her past life. Reborn at her adulthood ritual, she discovers Logan also carries memories of the previous life. Lyra heads to the Poison Abyss for aid from serpent ancestor Kaelen and conceives. She lays nine eggs of primordial bloodline at the birthing ceremony, exposing Vera’s plot. Vera summons demon Neroth to steal her offspring’s power. They slay the demon. Kaelen is gravely wounded and sleeps for three years. After waking, Lyra conceives again. The serpent clan breaks the bloodline curse and gains peace.
