Overview

On coronation day, Yeega holds the crown while priests argue over a sealed jar in the Death House: Kooga's body sits quiet, forty days old, and refuses rot. If Yeega lets the priests own the jar, they own his crown. If he keeps the jar, he has to manufacture a miracle without magic-and the Death House will collect its fee in flesh. By nightfall, the river docks go silent. Grain tallies vanish from the tax hall. A boy heir coughs until his ribs show. A master embalmer starts sleeping on the Death House floor, ear to the cool stone, counting footfalls instead of hours. And a High Salt-Priest drafts an embargo notice with a fresh reed pen, ready to turn ""impure"" into hunger. Yeega can set the jar on a priest's altar and live by their blessing. Or he can keep it under lock and pay what the Death House asks-one breath at a time.

Author Information

Jobic Chakalisa is the bestselling author of The Diamond Curse, Target: Tehran, and North Korea's Secret Weapon. He currently lives in Chicago. He has always been a movie lover, and this certainly shines through in the way he writes his novels. You won't get lost in over-description, time will never be wasted on characters that have nothing to do with the story, and every single chapter has meaning. Jobic has only ever had one goal with his work, and that is to entertain. And he hopes your escape into his pages have at the very least done that.
