The Works of Vermin

A dark and gritty tale of class struggle in the strangest of places-a gigantic stump teeming with both human and insectoid vermin.

A reckoning is coming to the city of Tiliard.

Unrest spreads like rot through the jungle of streets, from its highest towers to its deepest burrows. Upstarts scheme, laborers struggle, and artists dream of change. None is prepared for what comes next.

A pest moves through the roots of Tiliard, a hulking creature whose toxic venom threatens to transform the city and its inhabitants alike. A small group of exterminators track it through the rancid depths, armed with fumigants and sharpened blades. Bound by their contracts and their debts, they will not escape this hunt.

A man moves through the canopy of Tiliard, a beautiful stranger with a shrouded past. He slips into opera boxes and the company of socialites, armed with a winning smile and merciless resolve. Bent on retribution, he draws ever closer to the city's beating heart. Whether he strikes it or steals it, Tiliard will not escape his debts.
