On the surface, Topensi is a bustling hub of interworld trade, but a cesspool of crime and desperation boils underneath. Trapped by an indenture to the brutal Ripper Gang, Lux does whatever he must to claw his way free. When he discovers a monster controlled by the city guard, he plans to capture the creature and exchange it for his freedom.
Lux assembles a volatile team: a naïve Earthborn mage whose violent magic festers under his skin, a fugitive with a score to settle, a revolutionary who has lost his way, a criminal princess who leaves a trail of ruin in her wake, and a troublemaking tabby cat.
Lux and his crew may be the only ones who can defeat the terrifying power that threatens to devour their world, if they don’t betray each other first.
Jenn lives in the Pacific Northwest and is a Certified Veterinary Technician at a surgical center. When she isn't caring for animals, she is jumping in puddles, reading copious amounts of books, and hiking with her partner and their dog. She loves finding magic in the uninhabited corners of the existing world and creating it in the worlds she writes. Vicious Miscreations is her first novel.
Vicious Miscreations is your next queer fantasy obsession. Pulling together a band of misfit characters—all harboring their own secrets—Neal weaves an intricate story that delves into trauma, healing, and what it means to be a monster. From tangled queer love to ruthless villains to sizzling banter, this book is perfect for fans of Six of Crows and Arcane. Neal has created a dynamite first installment of The Fractured Worlds series and I can't wait to keep reading.
