ARSENIC & ADOBO X KILLER CONTENT

When a stage manager stumbles across the body of the egotistical theater owner, she must cast her community as suspects to solve the case, or the theater may shut down and the curtain may fall on her career before it starts.

When the fates of a genius artificer and a ghostly warrior collide, they must outmaneuver seductive half-truths trying to keep them apart. Otherwise a brewing rebellion, demonic beasts, and betrayal will lead them to destroy the land and the people they’ve both sworn to protect.
