Description
When seer Chavali first joined the agents of the Fallen, she gained a life she never expected. But managing this much idiocy? Not in her original agreement. On top of trying to hide her fledgling relationship with Colby from every gossip in the Tower, Chavali clashes with the Administrator’s infuriating replacement at every turn. A mission should come as a relief. But when the new idiot-in-charge sends an ill-advised team on a vague mission with laughable guidance, Chavali’s usual bitter predictions find unexpectedly fertile ground. The oppressive heat and damp clinging to the lush flora of Palmia Basin prove only the first of many unforeseen problems. For underneath the flower-bedecked shops and colorful tiled streets of the river town, crime and corruption fester like a creeping mold, waiting to burst into violence. And to drag Chavali and Colby into a sucking morass that just might rip them apart forever.
