Dice, Death & Dessert, (Paperback)

<p><b>In Sugarglade, magic is measured in sugar, probability, and souls.</b></p><p>When master confectioner Maribel Truffet is dragged into her own thirty-foot chocolate fountain and drowned before ten thousand witnesses, the city's flawless ledger records an impossible signature: Reaper Shadow Grim authorized the kill.</p><p>Framed for a murder that fuses three forbidden disciplines of confectionery architecture, probability hexes, and infernal soul-harvesting, Shadow is given a choice by the ruthless Magister: solve the case in four days or join the dead. His only allies are the city's most dangerous outcasts: a guilt-ridden dice cheat who once drowned his own brother in bad luck, a disgraced tiefling alchemist whose doctoral thesis became the murder weapon, an unlicensed baker whose illegal dough-golem nearly unspooled when it touched the killer's trap, and a blind oracle who sees every future except the one that saves them.</p><p>As more Founders die and the carnival's sugar-stone infrastructure begins to fracture, this volatile crew must learn to trust one another or watch Sugarglade devour itself. Their only hope lies in forging an impossible consent cake: a paradox ritual that demands they hold six contradictory truths at once while the sky tears open and an infernal contract comes to collect.</p><p>Some recipes require patience.<br>Some require blood.<br>This one requires everything.</p>
