The Vessel: A Labno & Carter Novella

The Vessel

A Labno and Carter Novella

DI Kate Labno has learned to trust three things: her instincts, her partner, and coffee strong enough to qualify as a controlled substance.

So when Kate and Dan Carter are called to Mandini Campus after reports of magical interference, she knows the situation is going to be messy. A student is trapped in her dorm room. The walls are covered in blood-painted sigils. And the thing speaking through Lena Morris is lying about more than just its name.

What begins as a suspected possession quickly becomes something far more dangerous.

The magic is ancient. The victim is weakening. And every answer Kate uncovers points to a threat older than the war itself.

With the RDU scrambling for answers, supernatural allies circling, and time running out, Kate is forced to consider a deal with a creature who should never be trusted.

Because something buried is beginning to wake.

And if Kate and Dan can’t save Lena, the first casualty will only be the beginning.
