One treacherous conspiracy.
Five reckless outcasts.
Survival will make monsters of them all.
On the surface, Topensi is a bustling hub of interworld trade, but a cesspool of crime and desperation boils underneath. Trapped by an indenture to the brutal Ripper Gang, Lux does whatever he must to claw his way free. When he discovers a mutated monster controlled by the city guard, he plans to capture the creature and exchange it for his freedom.
Lux assembles a volatile team: a naïve Earthborn mage whose violent magic festers under his skin, a fugitive with a score to settle, a revolutionary who has lost his way, a criminal princess who leaves a trail of ruin in her wake, and a troublemaking tabby cat.
Lux's crew may be the only ones who can defeat the terrifying power that threatens to devour their world, if they don't betray each other first.
In a world overtaken by sentient carnivorous plants and ruled by the worst of humankind, Lux and his crew of rival anti-heroes will drag you into their monster hunt and burrow into your bones. This character driven New Adult Fantasy has a messy found family that will weave themselves into your heartstrings, whisper their secrets in the dark, and make you question what makes a monster. With its glowing plants, volatile characters, and even more dangerous world, this high stakes, action packed fantasy has teeth.
