What’s worse than a death sentence?  Try being condemned to Sisyphus, a world where even the grass is out to get you. And where the locals are sentient tarantulas - nine foot tall sentient tarantulas.

For nine years convicted killer Mahdi Koshtar has weaseled, worried, and lied to earn a spot on the prison’s early release list. Now, her reprieve is at hand.

Maybe.

If she can convince her arachno-loving boss to let her go.

But only one of them can go – and her boss has other ideas.
