Now imagine a novel written in black-and-white. The Rat and the Serpent is a gothic tale that follows the extraordinary fate of Ugli the cripple. Raised as a beggar in the soot-shrouded Mavrosopolis, Ugli has to scramble for scraps of food in the gutter if he is to survive. But one day his desperation and humiliation is noticed by the mysterious Zveratu, and soon he is taking his first faltering steps into the world of the citidenizens. He meets the seductive Raknia and the arrogant Atavalens; one destined to be his lover, the other his mortal enemy. But as Ugli ascends he becomes aware of a strange darkness at the heart of the city in which he lives. Slowly, he realises that the Mavrosopolis exists gloomy and forbidding around a terrible secret . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bryn Llewellyn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1930997833\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781930997837\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Prime Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/03\/2005 pg. 41","brand":"Bryn Llewellyn","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44125577445631,"sku":"9781930997837","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_01e487d0-097c-4d1a-8b50-9d5a79a30772.jpg?v=1687443403","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-rat-and-the-serpent-bryn-llewellyn-9781930997837","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
