Winter's Web

An assassin at a renaissance faire. What could possibly go wrong? Everything, if you're the Spider....

I might be Gin Blanco, a.k.a. the assassin the Spider, but even I need a break from the bad guys every now and then. So when Owen Grayson, my significant other, suggests a trip to the Winter's Web Renaissance Faire, it sounds like a perfect distraction from all my problems.

The faire starts off innocently enough, but something seems slightly off about the cheery atmosphere and costumed characters. Maybe I'm being paranoid, but I can't help but feel like I'm trapped in someone else's icy web - and that they don't want me to leave the faire alive....

Note: Winter's Web is a 27,000-word novella that takes place after the events of Venom in the Veins, book 17 in the Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series. Winter's Web first appeared in the Seasons of Sorcery anthology in 2018.
