Beloved. The Last Harturm of the Beloved

Rizerdain Walton accomplished the impossible: he freed the lutens and tamed the living houses. His beloveds, obedient like trained dogs, brought him fame, respect, and money. From now on, intelligent houses are everywhere in Delmare. The capital lives off their resources, while local rich consider them a luxury and are willing to do anything to possess them. But one wrong decision by Rizerdain puts his entire venture at risk. Now he is an outcast from the beloved and a pariah. He is assisted by allies, but each has their own agenda: a model demographer trying to save their career, a rebellious luten, and one who dreams of freeing him. While some are trying to preserve the familiar world, others wish to turn it into ruins.
