True Friends Commit Deicide Together

A dark fantasy-comedy adventure in a tropical island city, where a tavern brawl can matter and a fake religion can become a real problem.

Seven misfits: a discarded noblewoman, an awkward dwarf, a paladin running from his family, a teenage battle mage, a wounded young man, a former assassin, and a monk who can't remember who he is accidentally become each other's family.

The trilogy is a comedy that takes its tragedies seriously. Under the jokes is real grief about ordinary people failing each other through willful ignorance, megalomania, injustice, and the comforting lies people tell themselves and the wounded who fall through the cracks. Themes include trauma, abuse, the failure of institutions, and what it costs a society when people stop caring.

I am wildly unqualified for the weight this trilogy is trying to carry. I am writing it anyway.  Still a work in progress.
