Bacco Valley is a seaside town built on poison. Its hidden rulers farm and distribute Third Legacy, volatile plants with dark, ancient origins. The town is populated mostly by the four-armed tol race.
Beanie is one of three Suopex - underbosses in a criminal organisation. He dreams of Bacco Valley becoming the start of a great tol empire. This ambition is contested among his peers, however, and has created tension between them.
Cariella, the teen-aged daughter of another Suopex, wants nothing more than to distance herself from the isolated town's horrible truth. She hopes to escape her family and live among good people.
When a distant threat one day puts Bacco Valley in danger, events are set in motion that could make Beanie and Cariella reluctant allies. The two tol are starkly different: One is experienced, aggressive, violent and ambitious. The other is young, sensitive, unorganised and compassionate. Yet both have an iron will, refusing to let go of what they want.
The Poison Pearl is a high-fantasy mob drama which follows two non-human points of view. It's a character-driven story about power, leadership, family and pride.

EMPIRE OF SECRETS: LOVING GOTTI
Velour tracksuits, gold chains, and the low rumble of idling engines outside family-owned pizzerias. Early 2000s New York-where loyalty is currency, power is inherited, and the American Dream still comes with an Italian price: respect, revenge, and blood. The Gotti name isn't just known-it's legendary. A dynasty built on loyalty and fear, draped in designer suits and the weight of an empire that never truly let go of its past. Their world is gold-plated, laced with luxury, but beneath the surface? Secrets fester, alliances shift, and enemies watch-waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Mina never meant to get tangled up in their empire, but the Gottis don't just let people walk away. Between lavish parties and whispered threats, loyalty is a game played in blood, love is a dangerous gamble, and betrayal is always closer than it seems. With rival families circling and the past refusing to stay buried, one truth remains: in a world built on power and revenge, survival comes at a cost- and not everyone can afford to make it out alive.
