NAGA SATRIA – THE SERPENT’S HEIR

 

NAGA SATRIA – THE SERPENT’S HEIR

by KAL KAMEL

Imagine a world of volcanic islands, dense jungles, and shimmering turquoise seas. This is Nusantara, the 13th-century Southeast Asian archipelago, a vibrant maritime crossroads teeming with a thousand cultures. It was a world of immense wealth, where sprawling port cities were home to Javanese kings, Malay sultans, Bugis sailors, and merchants from Arabia and China. Here, empires were built on the spice trade, fleets of massive wooden ships ruled the waves, and the fate of kingdoms was decided by the monsoon winds.

Into this world steps Arya Suryanata, the grieving son of a legendary general from the Singhasari kingdom. He inherits not only his father’s command but also Naga Satria, a sentient, soul-bound keris (a distinctive dagger from Southeast Asia known for its asymmetrical and often wavy blade), a magic blade humming with the ancient power. His first command from the ruthless king of Singhasari is absolute: lead a fleet, find the defiant trading kingdom of Selat Kenchana, and break them.

But the King’s orders betray every principle of honor Arya was raised to uphold. He is torn between his duty as a soldier and the legacy of his father, a man who wielded power with wisdom, not just brutality.

As Arya's fleet navigates treacherous mangrove swamps, he finds himself in a shadow war against an unseen enemy. He is confronted not only Selat Kenchana's prideful war chief, but also by Melati, a beautiful, intelligent and enigmatic envoy who speaks of peace, forcing Arya to question if his king’s path is the only one.

Haunted by visions from the blade and tested by a power he can barely control, Arya must make a choice. The path of duty leads to destruction and a loss of his soul. The path of honor could be seen as treason. With the fate of kingdoms hanging on his command, Arya discovers that the most dangerous serpent he must master is not the one in his sword, but the one coiled around his own heart.

Background

The book was meticulously researched to bring the incredible world of 13th-century Nusantara to life. The politics, the real historical figures, the design of the ships, and the spiritual beliefs around the keris and the Nāga are all rooted in actual history and mythology. Being from Southeast Asia and from Malaysia in particular, my aim was to create a story that isn't a generic fantasy setting, but rather, a real piece of world history, a "hidden history" brought to life.

THE VALLEY OF THE HIDDEN: A WILD, SUSPENSEFUL JOURNEY INTO A LOST WORLD OF ANCIENT HISTORY

 

THE VALLEY OF THE HIDDEN:

A WILD, SUSPENSEFUL JOURNEY INTO A LOST WORLD OF ANCIENT HISTORY

October 2022: Svante Pääbo wins the Nobel Prize. The Neanderthal genome is sequenced, and we begin to understand: Our human cousins weren't grunting brutes, but rather skilful, resourceful, and empathetic. What if they didn't go extinct? Could they have survived to this day?

Hidden in the forgotten corners of the world, our human relatives—the Neanderthals—lie silent. Clever beings, gifted hunters, lost to history’s pages . . . until now.

Lilly Feron never expected her quiet life running a wolf park in Utah to be upended by a single, dead animal. But when a wolf believed to be extinct with a spear tip lodged in its neck turns up on a highway, everything changes.

The weapon, made from Neanderthal bone only a few decades old, should be impossible. After all, Neanderthals vanished thirty-five thousand years ago. She learns of a trapper who claims to have seen such a strange wolf, hidden deep in the Bitterroot Mountains. Was it the same animal?

Lilly and paleoanthropologist Austin Walker dig deeper, and uncover amazing truths about the existence of Neanderthals. Could they still be out there living in isolation?

As the mystery unfolds, they must wrestle with a gripping secret—one that forces them to question everything they thought they knew about history, humanity, and what lives in the wild. All before the authorities put an end to it.

The past isn’t gone. It’s waiting. And it’s about to make its presence known.

“The Valley of the Hidden masterfully blends anthropological science with vivid storytelling, offering a gripping exploration of human resilience, culture, and belief in a forgotten world. With an archaeologist’s precision and a novelist’s imagination, J.M.G. Schmidt reconstructs an ancient way of life that feels startlingly real. Think Neanderthals were just grunting brutes? Think again. This fascinating journey into our deep past will challenge everything you thought you knew about our long-lost cousins.”—Patrick Keeney, Canadian author and journalist

The 7-Week Blueprint to Accelerate Your Income, Opportunity & Outcomes

STOP GRINDING. START WINNING.

You’re busting your knuckles in the cold, the chaos, the mud—believing it’ll pay off. A company truck. A competitive salary. A seat at the table. A life on your terms.

Wake up.

You know how to build a map—but no one taught you how to read it. Countless tradesmen and contractors are left stuck without a clear path to elevate their position, their company, or their life. Feeling stuck isn’t unique. What you do about it is.

If every weekday feels like a rerun, here’s your wake-up call: You haven’t changed—but you’ve expected everything else to. The ones who win? They adapt. They grow. They lead. The real Decision-Makers don’t just swing harder—they master people, profit, perception, and potential—they accelerate.

This is the essential guide for the blue-collar worker who’s done waiting—and the contractor who’s not done building.

Tradesmen will master the social jungle, build allies, stack high-value connections, speak with purpose, influence outcomes, eliminate costly mistakes, and skyrocket their value.

Contractors will build better assets in the field—and stronger balance sheets in the books. A team with the right mindset and skills reduces turnover, increases accountability, boosts safety, sharpens communication, and drives productivity.

This simple, effective roadmap delivers high-income skills, strategic insights, and weekly jobsite challenges to turn you into a decision-maker—the kind contractors fight to keep, promote, and invest in.

Stop waiting for permission.
