The Whisper-Man

BEWARE FORSWEAR

YOU GOTTA TAKE CARE

No one questions when a street-rat goes missing.

No one listens to their rhymes.

They’re the children no one cares about.

Luca has never cared about being a monster. What does murder matter as long as someone can pay her? But children have always been a step too far, and she has a daughter of her own to worry about. Yet the newest apprentice of an old acquaintance is young, too young, and with magic.

Taken south by the job that might just have saved her life, Silver is struggling to find her feet. But as a newbie, she notices the street-rats – and they’re disappearing. They claim there’s a Shadowman taking them away.

No one listens.

And as winter closes in, Silver is starting to pay attention.

YOU GOTTA BEWARE

OF THE WHISPER-MAN!

Cold-Blooded

Who protects the monsters from the ones hunting them?

Hunter Vandulai Aisorn is investigating a series of violent murders, the victims having had their identities torn from them. With no trails or even a single name, the cases quickly go cold.

Two decades later, the Pirate, a smuggler with few friends, vanishes without a trace, leaving behind her car, thousands in cash, and her beloved parrot.

As assassin Luca and young thief Silver begin to make enquiries, it soon becomes apparent that the Pirate is not the only one to have vanished. There are others, scattered across the lower streets of Crisom. It’s a pattern that promises more to come. With the Hunters unlikely to help, Luca decides to handle matters herself.

What the Storm Brings

According to the children of Crisom, the Night Train takes away the dead.
But during the war, it brought food, supplies, and hope.
Until the day it left for the last time.

The worst storm in decades hits Crisom, leaving floodwaters, downed power lines, and a heap
of rotting wreckage in the lower streets. With little else to do, thief Silver and arsonist Brigid are
pulled into investigating the ruin.

Hunter Nakotan Aelios has so far been uninvolved with the fires and robberies breaking out
across Crisom. But when the latest one strikes somewhere more personal, he finds himself torn
between a pursuit of the perpetrators and a murder investigation.

And then there are those that want nothing more than to hide ancient secrets.
Ones that the rising waters no longer care to keep.

The children say that the dead board the train.
And now there's nothing left but bones.
