Nightfall. Umbral Coil Chronicles, #2

Left to the shifting sands for dead, fate has chosen a different course for the men exiled to the remorseless desert's nightfall. Retracing the steps of events among the living, a new perspective is given to the moment of wakening for one of the two men rescued and brought to the thriving, cavern village of Shejnal. There, in the safe of the deep dark, the monstrous divine being bearing rich, purple skin and a seemingly endless half-snake body - Najae Noc'teria, surrounded by other lamia sharing in her image - will rekindle the flame of life and lust within the waking man, binding him in her endless coil for the long night to come.
