![]() Naomi Lucas has a series entitled Naga Brides, which currently stands at three books (the fourth entry will be released in six weeks or so) and her nagas are definitely aliens. As always, a reader should check the trigger warnings for each book prior to reading. ![]() I can see how authors would find characters with these attributes perfect for romance novels, which already employ a variety of beings in all kinds of forms from human to not. They can be benevolent or harmful spirits and may appear in the half human form, as fully human or as completely serpentine. The basic concept is found in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism and views nagas as half human, half cobra, strong and handsome. Doing my research (which is thing authors love to do and which can distract us for hours at a time if we’re not careful) the word ‘naga’ is Sanskrit for serpent. I’d never heard of this concept before I began seeing them appear on SFR covers and in the plots. ![]() Note: This post first appeared in the Roswell Daily Record.Īn interesting trend in scifi romance is the rise of the Naga. ![]()
