“A zany urban fantasy series that blends the bureaucracy of The House in the Cerulean Sea with the action-adventure sequences of Dungeon Crawler Carl.” —BookPage

Return to magical Singapore for a new adventure in the DEUS Files, an urban fantasy series where otherworldly chaos and bureaucratic mishaps are all in a day’s work.

As a middle manager in the Division for Engagement of Unusual Stakeholders (DEUS), the only thing Benjamin Toh hates more than a supernatural disaster is the paperwork that has to be filed afterwards. When a cargo ship crash exposes a smuggling pipeline of magical artifacts, he wants to close the case as quickly as possible.

But the details don’t add up, and a paper trail of investigations points to signs that the city’s supernatural criminal underclass—the wulin—may be involved.

As rumors stir and old rivalries fester, tensions between wulin sects threaten to spill into open conflict. To uncover the truth and stop the bloodshed, Ben and his coworkers must use all their wits to navigate underworld politics and survive esoteric martial arts duels, all while trying to keep senior management happy.

Piece of cake.

★ “Full of wonder, tenderness, and breathtaking adventure.” —Kylie Lee Baker, author of Japanese Gothic
