Two Serpents Rise

In the bustling, magically-charged city of Dresediel Lex, where the remnants of fallen gods power civilization and lawyers conjure lightning, a dire crisis unfolds: shadow demons are plaguing the vital city reservoir. Caleb Altemoc, a shrewd risk manager and casual gambler for Red King Consolidated, is tasked with cleansing the water for its sixteen million inhabitants. His investigation quickly entangles him with Crazy Mal, an alluring and agile cliff runner who proves to be his match in wit and daring. However, Caleb's professional troubles escalate into a deeply personal conflict when he discovers his estranged father—the last priest of the old gods and leader of the True Quechal terrorists—is linked to the attacks on the water supply. Bound by a dangerous mix of lust, potent Craft magic, and sheer chance, Caleb and Mal are drawn into a high-stakes game where gods and mortals are mere pawns. Their perilous journey risks awakening the ancient, hungry Twin Serpents slumbering beneath the earth, threatening to unravel the very fabric of their world.
