Lark Case Files
by Christian Read
The City is rife with cults, covens and cabals. Broken-glass curses and occult rites in the back of bars. Magical symbols written in whisky and cigarette smoke. Ritual muggings and street-rat divination.
Lark works the edges. Once he used to be a player but now he’s rogue, alone but for a few friends and allies and the type who owe favours. Addicted to information, he can’t help but take the cases the damned and the lost and the dangerous hand him.

The City is rife with cults, covens and cabals.
Broken-glass curses and occult rites in the back of bars. Magical symbols written in whisky and cigarette smoke.
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.
