About this ebook
It's been years since Rax Darkthorn escaped the hold of the thief-city, Nexi. The death of a friend, and his own addiction to the secrets that permeate the city, draw him back.
In a city of secrets, dying gods, and doors to everywhere, Rax hunts the shadowy figure manipulating events. A trail that'll lead him to Nexi's secret.
Collecting the 12 part series.

‘The premise of a sentient city pinching parts of other dimensions to glue into itself had me feeling fantasy with a splash of Doctor Who and a sprinkle of Carnival Row... The dialogue is snappy and entertaining too, flowing with a natural rhythm that was a joy to read.’ - Alicia Wanstall-Burke, author of The Coraidic Saga
‘This is one of most imaginative books I have read in a long time... The characters are as colorful as the concepts themselves and each one remains in the reader’s memories even after putting down the book. I never felt bored during the book—I was invested throughout.’ - Kartik Narayanan, SPFBO judge
‘I loved how the author set it up like a detective show, wherein each chapter is a self-contained mystery but which contributes to the overarching plot, complete with guest stars and returning characters and little bits of knowledge that are each a piece of the larger puzzle. Yet beneath the Sam Spade-style patter (“Not so fast, sister”) and the individual mysteries is a meditation on the nature of knowledge, believe, and memory, both real and artificial, and how all these things together make us—as individuals and as society—who we are.’ - A.M. Justice, author of The Woern Saga
‘After 40 years reading fantasy, it’s exciting to find something different.’ - Kerry Smith, SPFBO judge
‘A highly imagined story, this is a well done portal fantasy. I felt the characters were well rounded and each developed in a gradual way, as is the world in which they live.’ - Lynn Kempner, Grimmedian
