When Kellius Droman died, his age-suppression spell on Delilah evaporated. She went from thirteen years old to twenty-two years old almost instantly. While she will inherit her father’s empire, she’s angry and bitter at his manipulation. Only one person in the world understands the pain of being unknowingly magically modified by a person who is supposed to love you and protect you — Billy Middleton, whose powers and true physical were hidden from him by his grandmother. Delilah’s nightmare-generating powers are stronger than anyone could have known. The last person to find that out the hard was Teddy Two-Fingers, who now lies catatonic in a Bastion cell. Meanwhile, Lincoln Franks, the Man in Gray, left Callista’s club in Lumencia, saying that there was something he needed to destroy. What is his target?

Agneetha died, too, at the hands of Lincoln, and Haimana burned alive as a result of Billy’s out-of-control power. It is the first time Billy has taken a life.

Deep underground in Teddy Two-Fingers’s cell block lair, Haimana’s giant scorpion delivered a massive dose of poison to Kellius Droman. Kellius is down for the count — is he dying? Fueled by rage, Billy unleashed his internal power and torched Haimana’s killer beetles. Under the light of ten thousand fireflies, Billy rises up for the final battle with Haimana, but first, he must defeat the same scorpion that down his teacher. With the help of her fellow captives that she may or may not be controlling, Delilah defeated Teddy Two-Fingers. He lies on the floor of his room, bound in guitar strings, bleeding heavily from a tiger swipe to the arm. The dreamgaunts crawled down from the captives heads, and were crawling toward Teddy. Meanwhile, Lincoln searches the cell block complex, hunting for Teddy, who is the only one who can tell Lincoln how to get Lincoln’s son, Samuel, off the purgatory-like hellscape known as The Shelf.

With Magda’s help, Lincoln saved his sister Sophia’s life, using Sophia’s healing mesh to stave off the effects of Agneetha’s centipede poison. After giving Lincoln her rixator cloak, the Man in Gray is going after Delilah… and Teddy Two-Fingers. In another part of the sprawling cell block complex, Morgan Stone engulfed Haimana in a whipping tornado. The mesh-buzz effect short-circuited Droman’s magic — will it do the same to Morgan’s and Billy’s if he tries to use his? Teddy Two-fingers knows he’s lost the battle. He tried to flee through a secret tunnel in his room, only to be dragged out by a young storm-mage, Mata Kasintseva. But was it Mata who pulled Teddy out, or was it Delilah Droman who is using the dreamgaunts wrapped around the captive children’s heads to control their powers?

Lincoln, Billy, Lukas, Sophia, Kellius Droman, and Morgan Stone assaulted the Big Nasty’s burger joint located just outside the main gates of the Bastion’s fortress in Coris. At the restaurant, Lincoln and his comrades found the elevator that leads to Teddy Two-Finger’s lair. In that lair, Teddy is already evacuating his “line workers,” the kidnapped paranormal children whose nightmares he harvests to make the purest filament in existence, filament for which Teddy demands — and receives — astronomical sums from weavers and meshworkers alike. Teddy also let loose his leash on Haimana, his powerful meshworker who pledged to kill Kellius Droman this very day or die trying. Haimana isn’t alone in her bloodlust — Teddy’s centipede-armed, orange-clawed thug Agneetha wants Lincoln's head. Haimana, Agneetha, and many of Teddy’s thuengol mercenaries prepare to fight Lincoln, Droman, and the others. Meanwhile, Teddy’s prized, prodigal “foreman” — Kellius’s daughter Delilah — is done with waiting to be rescued. Her sanity cracking at the edges, Delilah is about to take matters into her own hands and unleash devastating dream-magic upon her captor. You digging SLAY?

Working together, Lincoln, Billy, Magda, and Ariella learned that Teddy’s lair is beneath a Big Nasty’s restaurant in Cordis, close to the supernatural pawnshop known as “the Clearinghaus,” and also close to the Bastion’s fortress headquarters. The Bastion has a magical interference zone around it, a zone that includes the Clearinghaus and Big Nasty’s. This zone, affected by a persistent spell known as “mesh-buzz,” hides the detection of all meshwork within it. It also makes magic unpredictable — sometimes magic works fine, sometimes it produces unexpected results, and sometimes it doesn’t work at all. Lincoln and Billy left for the Clearinghaus, where they planned to meet with rixators Sophia Franks and Lukas Franks, Lincoln’s sister and brother, respectively, and with Kellius Droman and his assistant Morgan Stone.

PREVIOUSLY ON SLAY: Thanks to a clue that Delilah Droman planted in Gabriella Radu’s mind, Lincoln and Billy paid a visit to Finicus Sleidan, the maker of the dreamgaunts Teddy Two-Fingers uses to harvest nightmares from the children he’d kidnapped. Sleidan didn’t know where Teddy was but did reveal the name of the company buying the gaunts – Wholesome Stuff, a firm that supplies restaurants like McDonald’s and Burger King. If Ariella, Lincoln, Billy, and Magda can find where Wholesome Stuff ships to, they have a chance at tracking down Teddy, as it’s known Teddy feeds his forty-plus captives fast-food-style burgers and fries. After following the Wholesome Stuff trail to a dead end, Lincoln and Ariella went to work calling their lawyer contacts, hoping to find someone who could uncover Wholesome Stuff’s business connections via permits, tax returns, and other legal mechanisms.

Lincoln visited Gabriella Radu at her home after Teddy ransomed her to her father. The little girl had been through hell and may never fully recover, but she brought with her a clue to Teddy’s whereabouts — a clue planted in her mind by Delilah Droman. That clue? The name Finicus Sleidan, a darkmesh creator in Trenton, New Jersey, who is possibly the maker of dreamgaunts that Teddy uses on defenseless enlightened children in his hidden nightmare factory. Meanwhile, Delilah is breaking down. To stay alive and strive for a rescue, she’s used her new aptitude for dream manipulation to magnify the nightmares of Teddy’s captives.

Following the brawl at Stoolie’s Bar, and the showdown with rixator Basil Beverly and adjurator Rochelle Dollar, Billy took Lincoln back to the Old Stone Church. Teddy Two-Fingers is reveling in his new foreman’s talents. Delilah Droman has been the find of the century for him and his nightmare-harvesting operation. Delilah, though, isn’t quite as excited. She spends her days amplifying the nightmares of children, forcing them to face their deepest terrors over and over again. If Delilah doesn’t do this, she will be the one experiencing the endless horror, and if she is tossed into that abyss, her plans or escape — for her and for the children — will drift away like that last tatters of a forgotten dream.

Scott and ARealGirl herself dig into the history of many weekends of teenage nerdom. DEEP CUTS are bonus episodes of SCOTT SIGLER SLICES. There is no story content; it’s all a couple of nerds in love talking about topics generated by Scott’s fans (the Junkies) in front of a live chatroom audience. We apologize for the Kobold Cabbage.

The first episode of a podcast that celebrates the Sigler Junkies, recorded live with a chat room of said Junkies. As this is a live recording, you’ll notice it’s a bit less polished than the fiction podcast. But in true Sigler fashion, there’s still some naughty language, lots of laughter, and general tomfoolery. In this episode, we talk about AI in writing and audiobook narration as Scott preps for a panel at StokerCon 2024.
