Summary
Cicero has been alone in the dark for far too long, whispering to a mother who never speaks back. Then comes the Listener—Astrid’s little "prodigy" with the pale, predatory eyes and the ears that hear the whispers Cicero has spent a lifetime begging for.
He hated her. He wanted to scoop those godforsaken eyes out of her skull and wear them as trophies. He wanted to snap her neck for daring to soil the Night Mother’s coffin with her living, breathing filth.
But when the "dirty little sneak" turns her gaze on him, the hatred curdles into something much more dangerous. In the cold, sacrosanct shadow of the Mother’s tomb, the Keeper finds a new way to worship. No more prayers. No more bells. Just the raw, frantic heat of a heretic pinned to the stone and the screaming silence of a man finally getting exactly what he deserves.
