The Carnivore's Ring

When a mysterious circus arrives on the edge of Havenwood, Detective Izzy Miller discovers a clue that shouldn't exist-a tuft of lion's mane tangled in a fence miles from any zoo or sanctuary. As unsettling disappearances, cryptic messages, and whispers of predators in the dark begin to spread through the town, Izzy finds herself drawn into a deadly game orchestrated by the enigmatic ringmaster Seraphina Volkov and her silent, unnervingly loyal companion. With fear stalking the forests and the line between hunter and prey growing thinner by the hour, Izzy must confront both a cunning enemy and the ghosts of her own past before Havenwood becomes the final act in a performance written in blood. The Carnivore's Ring is a chilling thriller of obsession, deception, and survival where every clue is a trap-and every step forward leads deeper into the darkness.
