The spoil heap
To escape a monster, you have to find yourself a cage
Tazia Savoy is done running. The mouthy half-vampire assassin triggers her own Black Warrant to vanish inside Her Majesty’s most secure demon prison.
But HMP Hastings is no sanctuary. It holds the survivors of Project Edenlock—the program that stole five years of her life and left her with memories that don’t belong to her.
And the monster she’s hiding from? He’s already there.
When her father’s power bleeds through the prison walls—possessing guards and setting the soul-binding tattoos on her spine alight—Tazia realizes she’s trapped in another of his cages.
With the dangerous inmate Deakin as her only ally, she must fight her way through prison bloodshed and the lies inside her own head. Because escaping HMP Hastings is only the beginning. To claim any kind of freedom, she’ll have to force a bargain with the father who refuses to let her go.
Set in England in 1995, Bleeding Ebony is a brutal dark urban fantasy prequel to the Dark Urban Rising trilogy, packed with British grit, supernatural violence, and a heroine who refuses to stay broken

The Spoil Heap
The Midden is public. The Spoil Heap is not.
I keep the best of it for those with the sense to ask.
Sign up for the monthly round-up of what I’ve already dragged to the surface, along with a look at what’s still buried.
Warning: new subscribers receive Bleeding Ebony by return. Consider it a first round, on me. In it you’ll find Anastasia Savoy, a key witness with great boots, and the story of her time in HMP Hastings, Demon Division.
