Rachel Walker and the Mechanism of Truth

After the sudden loss of her best friend, Rachel can't shake the sense of an ominous presence lingering around their school. Shadows fill the hallways, and as a student leader she feels compelled to unmask this threat to her peers. The unravelling mystery and hidden truths she unwittingly discovers devastates any sense of certainty in a world she thought she knew.

Another teaser for the third novella in the Faustian Curiosity Novellas by Aden Burg.

Feast and fuel yourself, the battles and exterminations on the streets never end. Maya and C**t work on a clean-up team, their ceaseless task to keep citizens oblivious to the destruction left in the wake of the immortals. When some of that mess starts to fight back, they are forced to confront their own morality and mortality.
