The House of Midnight

The House of Midnight, Book 1

By: Ben Hale, Kel Kade

Narrated by: Kevin Kemp

Magic. Artisan. Combat. Crafter. Epic.

These are the Fates that define us.

And the Fates we sell to survive.

Atlas: a sprawling city governed by four Great Houses more powerful than kings, where Fates are bought and sold, and Fateweavers trade in futures. In the fog-drenched streets of the Narrows, three friends are bound by a terrible truth and the loss of one of their own.

Zuri, a fateless girl with a talent for cons and nothing to lose.

Tryder, a charismatic thief willing to die for his sister.

Jarek, a gifted fighter hunting a mysterious killer.

Their search for answers uncovers a secret war that has been brewing for centuries, where kidnappings and murder point to a group of fanatics desperate for the return of a long-dead king. But when their game of intrigue draws the attention of the rumored House of Midnight, the trio from the slums must learn a single truth to survive.

There is no House of Midnight.
