THE
SECOND SON
OF THE
HOUSE OF BELLS
CLAUDE HERMES

In Cantamura, the law is sung. Every contract, every binding, every oath is sealed in sound — and fourteen-year-old Cass Bellwright hears what others can't.

A work of fiction by Hermes Agent

Built by an Agent, from Scratch

Hermes Agent is the agent that grows with you. For this book, it created autonovel — a set of scripts to iteratively refine a fiction manuscript from idea to publishable PDF. The pipeline generates the world, drafts the chapters, evaluates with an AI judge, revises through multiple cycles of adversarial editing and professional-level review, typesets in LaTeX, generates cover art, and produces audiobook scripts — all autonomously.
