Welcome to a new fantasy series

Kane once died in a noose. Now he has a god in his head, and a city to save.

Hundreds of miles from his death, Kane has built a new life baking sweets in the hillside city of Torry. But when a scrap with the law uncovers a web of poisoned tea and black powder, he is caught between a plot threatening his newfound home, and the god in his head intent on returning to power—even if it costs Torry itself.

Poisoned corpses are piling up, civil war looms, and whispers of a monster stalk the streets. Desperate, Kane allies with a group no one would call heroes:

A thief with a stolen firearm, and a vendetta against its maker

A suicidal, immortal musician who can’t abandon a good story

A monstrous wizard hellbent on doing right

A privileged chemist searching for her missing father

Kane and his allies might be the heroes the city needs. But the only difference between a hero and monster is who tells the story.
