Motif · Book 5, The Butcher's Masquerade

The Plenty

Three small black goats demanding judgment at the quickdraw, and an eight-foot one with red eyes and floor-length hair who blinks in, bleats and blinks out: the new sponsor of Carl, Miriam Dom and Prepotente only, working with the Apothecary. A recipe as a leash — a shortcut to make sure Carl and Donut would be there protecting their goat.
