Beware forswear,

You gotta take care,

No one questions it 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 so 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!
