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.
