Description: [edit] [history]

[I have more chapters ready to post, but I need to polish my first chapters for a publisher who showed interest. So I'm on hiatus, but I'll keep everyone updated. More is coming…]The dark, damp, rat-infested underworld is no place for a human slave. Fortunately, Cricket is not human. He's a five-foot-tall insect—six if you count his antennae, and he insists that you do. He has a shiny black shell, ADHD, and a winning smile.

After all, nothing improves forced servitude like a positive attitude!

With his fellow slaves—an amiable dryad from the surface, a sour necromancer cephalopod, and a host of ratlings and lizardmen—Cricket develops a knack for combat as he assassinates rivals and hunts down deserters.

Despite his love for a good fight, however, Cricket resents furthering the agenda of a corrupt and waning empire.

When he uncovers a plot to overthrow that empire, he must decide whether his home is worth defending!

What to Expect:

-High Progression Fantasy with a Dungeons and Dragons feel

-Fun banter with clean fight scenes

-A neuro-divergent, non-human protagonist

-Depictions of slavery, violence, and racism toward non-humans
