About the Author
Serpent's Gate was written in 2016, when Atharva Inamdar was 19 and developing what would become The Vomit Method — marathon writing sessions of 20 hours a day, 15 days straight, to finish a book. The fantasy work from this period reflects a writer pushing hard to find his voice. Fantasy was one of the genres Atharva discovered early, and 26 titles later, the world-building has gone from instinctive to deliberate.
