About this ebook
An old friend drained of his blood.
A shortage of black silk.
Rory and Longinus face their greatest crisis yet.
Longinus is besides himself. Someone has bought all the black silk in Damsport, so he has to make do with grey. Unacceptable, given that an assassin in grey is as ridiculous as a bulldog in culottes.
Conspiracies don’t get more dire than this.
Of course, there’s also the fact that Rory’s oldest friend has been found drained of his blood. And that clues seem to indicate that Myran has returned just as an important diplomat visits Damsport.
Those clues take Rory and Longinus to a new brothel in town called the Black Orchid. That it’s decked in black silk proves that something nefarious is going on.
That its clientele tends to disappear is mere confirmation of that fact.
What is going on behind the brothel’s gilded doors? And more importantly, can Longinus get to their supply of silk?
Dive into a captivating and fun adventure packed with quirky characters and snappy banter. Scroll back up and buy The Black Orchid now!

About the author
Celine is a nomadic writer who roams the world laptop in hand, having adventures and then telling stories inspired by those adventures. Kind of like a digital storytelling wanderer.
Her stories feature complex but flawed characters, lots of quirkiness, snappy banter, and richly imagined worlds.
