The Venom Spreads (Bravelands: Curse of the Sandtongue, Bk. 2)

The young gorilla Bramble managed to escape from his home in the mountains, but Chase the leopard is trapped there--torn between her loyalties to Seek, who she promised to care for, and Shadow, who vowed to protect her. Prance the gazelle remains on the plains, desperate to understand the shadowy menace that seems to plague the animals around her. All the while, the den of snakes grows stronger . . . sinking their fangs into unsuspecting animals and spreading venom until every animal is powerless against their will.
