Rat & Demon
The War Is Over. We Lost
The war in Hasra is over. A monstrous puppet sits upon the throne. Valys has fallen, and the Praetor rots in prison while his daughter remains a public hostage. Calmora is under Khonsu's rule, the dragonflight's plaything. Worse, my aunt and the other demon princes have fostered a new religion, which is sweeping the west.
Our only choice was to flee to Olivantia, where we huddle with the dreadlords who are under assault by the Tree of Blood and its armies of consumed. Things have never looked so grim. I have no more tombs. No more miracles from friendly gods.
Yet I do not stand alone. I've gathered my friends. We will prevail. We must. The cycle depends upon it.

About the author
Chris Fox
87 books672 followersBy day I am an iPhone developer architecting the app used to scope Stephen Colbert’s ear. By night I am Batman. Ok maybe not. One can dream though, right?
I’ve been writing since I was six years old and started inflicting my work on others at age 18. By age 24 people stopped running away when I approached them with a new story and shortly thereafter I published my first one in the Rifter.
Wait you’re still reading?
Ok, the facts I’m supposed to list in a bio. As of this writing I’m 38 years old and live just north of the Golden Gate Bridge in the beautiful town of Mill Valley. If you’re unsure how to find it just follow the smell of self-entitlement. Once you see the teens driving Teslas you’ll know you’re in the right place.
I live in a tiny studio that I can cross in (literally) five steps and don’t own an oven. But you know what? It’s worth it. I love developing iPhone apps and if you want to work in San Francisco you accept that rent for a tiny place costs more than most people’s mortgage.
If you and about 2 million other people start buying my books I promise to move out of Marin to a house in the redwoods up in Guerneville. No pressure. Wait that’s a lie. Pressure.

This book was really awesome. I loved the narrative and magic system in this book. The main characters as so interesting and I have loved watching them change and develop as the story progressed. I am so excited for the next book and can not recommend this series highly enough. The magic system is well done, the worldbuilding fascinating, and the characters are really cool. I can not wait for the next book. Thank you so much for an amazing book.

A return to form
I have enjoyed his writing for a while now, I kind of feel that some of his more recent work has taken a different path... Not a bad one for certain but this feels like a much needed return to form!
Thank you! I look forward to the next books in the series!

excellent
Chris,
I grew up reading T. Goodkind and T. Brooks. Their books text flows and is so easy to absorb.
You write with that same quality and flow. Bravo.

Another great addition to the series
Rat & Demon is another great addition to the series. It moves the unfolding story along at a nice pace. It is definitely a page turner
