“Temper brings a thrilling blend of science fiction, horror, magic, and dark humor from the award-winning author of The Prey of Gods. Auben’s six vices are branded on his arm for all the world to see – marking him as the lesser twin. But he won’t let his vices define him, even as he’s envious of his twin, whose single vice brand is a ticket to a better life, one that likely won’t involve Auben. The twins’ strained relationship threatens to snap when Auben starts hearing voices that speak to his dangerous vices.”
