Publisher Description

When superstition runs rampant, can one pest controller save a village from itself?

Kyra Greene is a pest controller, not an exterminator—and she's determined to keep it that way. In a world where pests can range from mischievous pixies to formidable dragons, clarity is key. But when her struggling business teeters on the brink of bankruptcy, Kyra is forced to take on a job that blurs the lines between her principles and survival.

Now, deep in the lawless Inbetween, she must uncover the source of a mysterious infestation plaguing a fishing village. The locals are quick to blame the banshee haunting the hills above, but Kyra knows there's more at play. As tensions rise, the homesteaders become increasingly hostile, and Kyra must navigate their fears and superstitions to find the truth.

Can she unveil the real threat before the villagers force her to choose between her principles and her survival?

The Girl Who Cried Banshee is a captivating prequel novella in the Valkyrie Bestiary series, set 10 years before the events of Dragons Don't Eat Meat. Dive into this thrilling tale of magic, mystery, and the struggles of a pest controller determined to protect both her livelihood and the creatures she loves.
