Plot Summary
At a Perth fundraising gala, a demon targets an alpha werewolf until a succubus invokes Clause Nine and tithes him instead. This is an occult-noir of mirrors, salt, and the Black Thread’s ruthless ledger.
Damien is a Collector, a demon who takes what the Ledger is owed. Today’s mark is Theo Anathos, an alpha werewolf holding court at a glittering Perth fundraiser where the air smells of money and chilled intent.
The rules should be simple: enter, poison, depart. But the Pact of Thresholds is watching, and so is an Auditor. When a woman in a black dress arrives with the scent of iron-lily on her skin, and her reflection arrives without delay, the hunt changes shape. Clause Nine is invoked. Consent, marks, and boundaries become law, and the predator finds himself outsmarted by the very system he serves.
Mirror-lag, salt itch, the moonstone ring that swallows light, and jacaranda petals falling onto still water that knows when to bow: each detail is evidence as the Black Thread routes orders and tallies costs, and the Auditor tightens the grammar of the place until it admits only what is true.
