    About this ebook

    Vampires are stupid. Goblins are stupid. Being dead is stupid.

    You’d think that saving Triport City from utter destruction by a necromantic magic explosion of epic proportions would set you up for sainthood, or at least a lifetime Gold level insurance policy!

    Instead, Samiel is found slightly more than half dead by a high-level vampire she may have conned in front of all his friends, and so she gets none of that. Instead, she gets tossed in his nearly inescapable dungeon lair, strung up by her feet, and tortured for his pleasure.

    But the dungeon is only nearly inescapable... Death is one form of escape, right?

    Though the hidden danger underneath the city has been defeated, Samiel’s friends aren’t out of the woods... Plague still haunts Triport, the city is swiftly running out of cures, and time is running out for Samiel’s friend Isha, on trial for treason.
    Samiel won’t let even death stop her in her quest save her friends—and her adopted city—once more.

    This is the second book in the Sam’s Song series, set in the world of Cerulea. You can read on its own, but for maximum enjoyment, it’s recommended you start with book one: A Fist Full of Sand. WARNING: This series contains RPG mechanics, constantly hungry goblins, and a fair bit of destruction of irreplaceable magical artifacts. If these things disturb you, this is not the book for you!

      A woman, a bird, a Pterodactyl? The thing came fast from the shadows, wings fluttered under the glow of one solitary lamp above the docks. I should never have had that last drink with Deny. I was drunk—maybe… sure, that was it—hallucinations. Her win
