Marcus Cole has a city's worth of refugees, no infrastructure, and not nearly enough time before an army comes to finish what it started. The ruins are defensible. Strategically perfect. And completely uninhabitable. No walls. No roofs. No food. Just rubble, rain, and something humming deep in the stone that won't shut up. Time to build a city from nothing.

Read the full description

New allies complicate things. A mage who argues about magical theory the way other people argue about sports. A mountain nymph who treats "restraint" as a foreign concept. A politician who wants to help, for a price Marcus can't afford to pay. And beneath everything, behind a sealed door, something a god left behind that nobody else can open.

The army is coming back. Whatever is under the ruins is waking up. And Marcus is starting to suspect the war everyone's fighting isn't the one that matters.

Adult fantasy (18+). Contains explicit sexual content and mature themes.
