Listed in top 10 debuts for 2018 by Fantasy Book Critic
Larin's got big problems. His tendency to shout nonsense words at random has made him a pariah in the gang-infested Wormpile district, where he's protected only by his drug-addicted but deadly uncle. Confined to his uncle's 4-block zone, where no gang member dares to tread, his only friends are an outcast thief and an alcoholic priestess. As if that weren't enough, now priests of the Six-Legged gods have begun creeping through the Wormpile's alleyways, masking a terrifying agenda with cries for social justice.
When Larin finds his outbursts mark him as servant to an ancient malevolence, a creature whose name has scared children at bedtime for three thousand years, he knows he's stepped right into the chamberpot. Because that malevolence will force him to confront the Six-Legged Gods head-on, backed only by his uncommonly lethal uncle, a perpetually-drunk priestess, and a noble wizardress with zero patience for commoners. And while he doesn't *have* to follow the dark creature ruling his dreams, refusing will only plunge his empire into a greater darkness--an abyss so deep, it will turn mankind's soul to ash.
"A unique and exciting dark fantasy..." --Readers' Favorite (5 star)
"A dazzling and captivating introduction to a new fantasy adventure series." --Foreword Reviews
"An exhilarating tale for fans of sword and sorcery, fantasy, and rich world-building." --Kirkus Reviews
"A fictional world that shines with a rare degree of immediacy and realism--even with its wizards, monsters and six-legged gods. Readers will savor the journey." -BlueInk Review
