Plaguebond

By Erik Joshua Burns

Book One of the House Singse Trilogy
In the depths of the Underdark, where shadows whisper and gods play games with mortal lives, a child is born to exile and disease.

Raised on a leper's island and hidden behind a plague doctor's mask, Chrella Singse returns to the Drow world not as a noble but as a healer. She brings no sword, no magic meant for war, only medicine, defiance, and the cold precision of surgical truth.

But the Underdark does not welcome healers.

Bound by a soul-pact with Lolth, the Spider Queen, Chrella becomes both her chosen warlock and her reluctant obsession. As plague spreads and undead rise, Chrella must battle not only disease and politics, but the divine manipulations of a goddess who loves control more than life itself.

Haunted by her family's disgrace, hunted by necromancers, and worshipped by those desperate enough to pray to a child in a beaked mask, Chrella builds something unthinkable: a House of her own, founded not on cruelty, but on care, science, and wrath.

But Lolth's games are never without consequence.

PLAGUEBOND is a gothic fantasy of divine trauma, surgical horror, and rebellion dressed in black leather and iodine. Perfect for fans of R.A. Salvatore, Gideon the Ninth, and readers who want their gods wounded and their heroes dangerous.
