In a world of magical artifacts and fantastical beings, a woman with a deadly secret needs the help of the minotaur shes trying to forgetin the sizzling sequel to Ruby DixonsNew York Timesbestseller,Bull Moon Rising.

Gwenna has always considered herself a normal person. A former servant, she wants nothing more than to land a job with the Royal Artifactual Guild so she can make some steady coin to send home to her mother. Shes not special. Shes certainly not a necromancer. That would be impossible, given how necromancing (or any mancing) is forbidden upon penalty of death. So if the dead keep talking to her...well, shes going to keep ignoring them. Theyre not going to stand in the way of her dreams.

Also not standing in her way? One big, arrogant, far-too-flirty Taurian named Raptor. They slept together once, and now he wants more . . . but she doesnt have time for that. Her focus is on being a fledgling, a trainee for the Royal Artifactual Guild. But Raptor wont go away. Hes on a secret mission for the guild to find an artifact thief.

Problem is, he thinks the thief is Gwenna.

How can she convince Raptor that hes got the wrong girl when all the signs point to her? And how do you tell a Taurian you cant date him because you hear dead people and that ability might cost you your life?
