In the quiet town of Redvale, where peach orchards stretch for miles and poppy fields burn crimson under the sun, the annual Peach & Poppy Festival is about to begin. But when orchard owner Samuel Greaves is found dead, his body surrounded by carefully arranged poppies, the town's golden summer turns dark.

Lara Kensington, a true crime podcaster in search of her next big story, teams up with Ivy Thorne, a local florist with ties to the victim. At first, it seems like a simple case of poison-peach pits ground into cyanide-but as they dig deeper, Lara and Ivy uncover whispers of an old disappearance, buried secrets, and a past that refuses to stay hidden.

When another body turns up, the message becomes clear: some secrets should have stayed buried in the poppy fields.

But Lara and Ivy won't stop until they uncover the truth-even if it kills them.

The world had gone to hell long ago, taken over by the vampire race. In order to keep some sort of peace in our land, the Vampire Lords made a consecutive agreement. The rich and powerful humans could survive just as they had been, untouched by the vampires save for the occasional blood collections, or so they thought In reality, we were all under their control. Castles spread out throughout our land, one landing in each city. Each castle varied in the number of vampires residing there, but all of them carried a Lord. The Lords were the ones in charge in every city, whether we liked it or not. The vampires often roam through the city, making sure that everyone was in order and no one stepped out of line. If you stepped out of line, you died, end of story. Even if the rich were still under their control, their lives were still better than the poor. The poorest lives held a much worse fate. The men were to be put to work as slaves, whether that meant serving a specific vampire, or just building their castles, they were slaves. The women were to be pets. Pets were the lowest rank you could have. They were forced into cages that were too small to stand in with collars around their necks. They spent their lives in pet shops, just waiting for the dreadful day that they'll be bought. They were treated like animals, trained into what their master wanted, and punished if they misbehaved. Those who were lucky enough to live through that, we're to be slaughtered for their blood at age twenty-five in an act to make sure that our population would stay steady. I was born into this world. Born into this world full of blood-sucking monsters. Except, I was one of the lucky ones. Was. It all ended for me when I was 12, when I was taken away from the last bit of hope and family that I had left. Ever since then, I've lived in a cage, just rotting away, waiting, dreading for the day that some monster would make me his. This is my life. I am a pet. ~~~ Cover by: @mshacake
