To celebrate the IndieBound link for pre-ordering the book, here’s another quote: “As she reached the edge of the Carnival of Souls, she saw the black-masked assassins and red-masked pleasure vendors negotiating with daimons who were seeking the services of one of the trades. Many of the patrons hid their faces behind masks as well, but some, bolder daimons carried on their negotiations without disguise” (Carnival of Souls).
