A Crescendo of Black Poppies

Book excerpt: Fiona is a killer, an addict to the thrill it brings. She murders with ritualistic intent, a sacrifice to the archaic Old Gods she still believes in. But when a would-be victim stops her from completing the ritual, the omniscient lurker that thrives off her dedication abandons their post. Despite themselves, they are drawn back to Fiona; to her unmatched expertise. A taboo allure, one that Others do not approve of. Others who believe our lurker has overstepped their mark. That they must return to where they belongs, or face the consequences. Along with their precious Fiona.
