Monarchs of Malice

Having survived a literal trash heap and a brutal gladiator arena, Del and his noble rat companion, Sterling, ascend to the third floor: the Victorian metropolis of Ratopolis. Sponsored as a guest of Sterling's family, House Pepper, Del is thrust into high society—navigating elite tailors, multi-hour supper clubs, and high-stakes balls. But beneath the top hats and champagne lies a deadly web of political intrigue, kidnapping, and rebellion. To survive high society, a creepy museum of living horrors, and an ancient eleven-bodied tyrant known as the Rat King, Del must unleash his most absurd secret weapon yet: an army of living oatmeal cookies. Will Del escape the city of rodents and convince the tower's eccentric wizard to send him back to Earth? Continue your descent into this weird and wonderful world of oddball characters and surprising laughs, straight from the mind of powerhouse LitRPG author Eric Ugland.
