Console Cowboys: SFF with Organized Crime

Vesper is the child of failed revolutionaries. She’s already lost her mother, who was captured by the queen’s soldiers and chose to avoid death at the hands of the hangman instead by accepting the death of being flung into the endless, cursed storm that surrounds the city. Twelve years later, her father is caught and will soon face that same choice — if Vesper doesn’t save him by arming herself with dangerous magic and infiltrating the cold-hearted prince’s soldiers.

A retired soldier named Alex rushes to the ancestral home of the Ushers when they receive word that their childhood friend, Madeline Usher, is dying. What they find on arrival is terrifying wildlife possessed by fungus, and Madeline sleepwalking and streaking in voices that aren’t hers. It’s up to Alex to unravel this horrifying mystery before the fungus consumes them and everyone nearby.
