There's a monster in the city, and this job might just eat them alive.

Atlantis is getting more dangerous by the day, and former Red Kin member Emery Morgan is right in the middle of it. When even the Atlantis Hunters refuse to tackle a case, that's when Emery and her ex-god partner Loki get the call. Their latest assignment: track down the so-called monster of Clymene Avenue — a reclusive figure whose power scares everyone who knows what it is.

But they're not the only ones after it.

A sharp-tongued fae con artist from Loki's past and her half-elf apprentice, Corey, have their own scheme running — one that collides head-on with Emery's mission. Suddenly she's caught between overlapping lies, shifting alliances, and the uncomfortable realization that some of her allies might be harder to survive than the target itself.

When the monster finally shows its true face, Emery is pulled into a brutal curse and a fight that tears through the city streets. To save the people she cares about, she'll have to decide what justice actually looks like in a city that's always preferred a monster it can blame.

Cons and Hexes continues the Atlantis Outcasts series with grifters, curses, and a collision of agendas where the real danger isn't always the one with claws.
