Cursed treasure turns the captain into a crocodile. One heist to save him.
Captain Barnaby Blackwater stole the wrong treasure.
The Maw of Maatkara promised dominion over the Crocodile Cult—a criminal empire that spans star systems. What it didn't mention: it slowly transforms whoever wields it into the very monsters they command. Scales. Claws. An appetite for gold that devours everything human inside.
Now Millicent Gearwright must pull off the impossible: steal back a reality-warping relic, save her corrupted friend, and survive an immortal queen whose lover's face is bound to the back of her skull—all while the Brotherhood of Mindshredders declares war with weapons that can shatter minds with a thought.
To infiltrate the floating spires of Gablehaven, she'll need Gideon Highwire, a death-defying steeplejack who climbs where physics fears to tread. To stand against telepathic warriors, she'll train with the very Mindshredders hunting them. And to board the Revenant Tempest—a ghost ship crewed by the furious dead—she'll have to become something she never wanted to be.
Dangerous. Powerful. Ruthless.
Because the deeper Millicent dives into this war between mind-bending tyrants and an ancient crocodile cult, the more she realizes: the greatest threat isn't Barnaby's transformation.
It's her own.
From vertigo-inducing heists atop mile-high towers to psychic battles that bend reality itself, Crocodile Cult explodes with swashbuckling adventure, impossible magic, and stakes that will leave you breathless. The Clockwork Constellation has never been this dangerous—or this much fun.
