In Regency London, a killer haunts the balls and gatherings of the ton. A woman, blending in by day and disappearing into the shadows at night, follows the urgings of her own bloodthirsty nature.
One man knows her secrets. He's her keeper, the one charged with cleaning up her messes. Page 1 excerpt: It was almost too easy. Sable hated it when a killing went too smoothly. It was like thumbing one’s nose at the devil, taunting him to do his worst. She'd experienced the devil's worst and had since made it her goal to never live through that again. Staring down into the now sightless eyes of her latest mark, Sable felt a faint satisfaction that the deed was done. Death seemed a normal part of life these days, for everyone. It made little difference if she helped a few along their way to meet their maker—or to a far more deserving hell. She nudged the body on the floor with her foot. The man, once so handsome and charming, smiled now in eternal sleep. His reign of terror was over; he’d raped his last helpless woman. |
