Enter the decadent, deadly city of Tiliard, a metropolis carved into the stump of an ancient tree. In its canopy, the pampered elite warp minds with toxic perfume; in its roots, gangs of exterminators hunt a colossal worm with an appetite for beauty. In this complex, chaotic city, Guy Moulène has a simple goal: keep his sister out of debt. For her sake, he'll take on any job, no matter how vile. As an exterminator, Guy hunts the uncanny creatures that crawl up from the river. These vermin are all strange, and often dangerous. His latest quarry is different: a centipede the size of a dragon with a deadly venom and a ravenous taste for artwork. As it digests Tiliard from the sewers to the opera houses, its toxin reshapes the future of the city. No sane person would hunt it, if they had the choice. Guy doesn't have a choice.

Sometimes, an author (Hiron Ennes) says "okay everyone, here is one of the weirdest, most unique worlds you’ve ever read. You get 400 pages." Cruel. This book is special. It is so unique. Where to begin. The world, the atmosphere, the feeling of this book is just so strange and wonderful and horrible and unique. An ancient city carved into a giant tree stump. The grimy undercity is made up of the literal r…”
“GOSH but I really enjoyed this book! It’s been a while since I read a book with prose like this, and not gonna lie, I thought it was great. It’s very lush and rich, heavy on the descriptions and artistic flourishes, in a way that reminds me of art nouveau, almost. Not everyone’s going to like it, but readers who enjoy that sort of thing will DEFINITELY love the writing style here. I also really enjoyed the way the author twined the two different narratives together, in such a way that the timeline wasn’t entirely clear. In other novels this would be a failing, but in this novel it’s one of th…”
