Lark Case Files

Two cults have gone to war and unleashed something that doesn't belong here, something old and wicked, something that has found itself an apostle; a girl who spreads black magic across the city with graffiti she barely understands, unwittingly placing a curse on the entire town. Enter Lark. He used to police these kinds of wars for the Library, the biggest coven in town. But, that was long ago, before he fell from favor. Now he works the fringes, selling his services for pocket-change and knowledge. So whe,n the new head of the Library, his ex-girlfriend Scarlet, approaches him to investigate these new conflicts, all he sees is a payday and an opportunity to prove himself to her again.

Lark's back in the City Back working as sheriff for the Library. Back from his time out with the ghosts. Aware now of who's behind the last few years of hell. Bernadette, daughter of the Old Man, the cruelest, strongest sorcerer Lark ever went up against. Back, but not without wounds. His head ain't what is used to be, demon scars riddling his brain and soul. And the Library has enemies where allies were, no-one knows who's who, and friends are thin on the ground. Then the killings start. High profile, ritual magicians are dying. Ancient Egyptian death magic is being toyed with, and sorting that mess out falls squarely on the already struggling Lark. There's a profound crime happening, a plot a century in the making. And Lark is standing dead centre.
