Queer Fantasy Mystery

The Cost of Vices

“This world was one of vigilantes and unseen justice, after all.”

New Harbor is a city that praises itself on being the world’s first “utopia,” and Matt Ellis wants nothing to do with it. When his sister gets a promotion at Streak Corporation, the world’s best defense contractor, Matt follows her to the bayside city to reluctantly start a new life. But in cities like New Harbor, reality is often too good to be true.

After a sniper attacks the affiliates of Streak Corporation in the dead of night, Matt suits up as a masked vigilante to confront this city’s worst secrets, and to put an end to “New Harbor’s Reaper.”
