In the light-drenched world of Luminocity, there are two types of power granted by the gods: the power to find and the power to lose.Laxerion is adept at finding lies, a skill that grants him a unique advantage as he blends into high society, leading heists to steal from the rich. Although Lax is used to being a target, he doesn't anticipate reconnecting with his estranged father and inheriting a failing family business drowning in debt. If he doesn't find a way to pay back the crime lord they owe a fortune to, he may be the next to lose his life.Meanwhile, war is brewing on the horizon, a war that even a city blessed by the gods may be unable to avoid. As five fates intertwine, the currents of destiny inundate the city, leviathans stir amid the roots of a primordial ocean, and monstrosities inhabit human skins.Desperate, Lax conspires to lead the greatest heist of all-journeying underground to find a forbidden treasure. But eldritch beasts buried in the darkness are awakening once again, and long-lost secrets emerge from the depths of a subterranean abyss. Will they survive? This brand-new epic fantasy, full of strange worlds, dark twists, and ancient Aztec inspiration, is perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson, Fonda Lee, Patrick Rothfuss, and George R. R. Martin.
