OUT NOW: "Where the God-Knives Tread" Part 2 (finale)
Ghost planets. Lost shipwrecks. Bloody secrets.
Thousand Dancing Beetles beckoned. The dazzling mosaic stretched the full width of the ballroom floor, rendering the image of the ship’s namesake in millions of colored tiles the size of Sien’s thumb. The ballroom floor was cream but the god-guardian’s visage was a thick blue-black, peering up through the shadows. It was a beast of many legs, disjointed angles, far-reaching grasp, and an odd, segmented quality in its form, as though pixelated or abstract.
And it didn’t resemble any beetle Sien knew. But that didn’t matter. What mattered lay in the center of the mosaic, the belly of the beast, and it glinted in the dim light with an unnatural shine.
