Tendrils of Madness

In a city divided by wealth and despair, the north struggles in the grip of poverty, gang control, and the sinister spread of Wyrmblight-a black magic epidemic that warps the mind, body, and soul. In the south, nobles and the elite live in comfort, their dazzling halls untouched by the chaos creeping closer with each day passed.

Thalassa, known on the streets as Hemlock, a fierce survivor and loyal member of the north's underworld, she fights to protect her gang and navigate the treacherous alliances of a city on the brink of collapse. But when Wyrmblight claims someone close to her, Thalassa uncovers a chilling secret: the plague might not be a curse of chaos, but a weapon of control-and her estranged father, a powerful noble, may have something to do with it.

Caught between her loyalty to the north and the shadowy ties of her bloodline, Thalassa must decide how far she's willing to go to expose the truth. As the madness of Wyrmblight tightens its grip on the city, she'll risk her life, her gang's safety, and her sanity to uncover the conspiracy threatening to consume them all.
