In a world of potent magic, they will do everything possible to fulfill their goals.
Warlock Viveca and her demon wife Yves have come to an otherworldly gambling den to retrieve a grimoire that once belonged to Elizaveta Hua. But to win their prize, they'll have to do more than politely negotiate: they must participate in a tournament of mortal combat—in which losing would mean true death even for Yves.
The Serpent of the House of Hua is an F/F urban fantasy heist novelette that takes place during The Might of Monsters.
