Scary Intel

The black ops agent codenamed Athena had the target in her sights. When Vulcan's Forge wanted a man dead, they sent their best and Athena tops that list. The end of the target's story should have been one trigger squeeze away. Unfortunately, the bullet did not accomplish the job. Instead, it revealed mysteries Athena had never encountered before.

Newly promoted field operative Parnik "Venkat" Venkateswaran thinks she knows how the missions for the secretive Malleus Librum Society are supposed to go: Recover books of ancient, blasphemous lore and bring them to the Society's vault. However, when the book in question serves as the basis for one diabolic man's supernatural defenses, a simple acquisition mission takes on dangerous permutations.

Initially working at cross purposes, Athena and Venkat must learn to trust one another and pool their resources if they ever hope to triumph over a impossibly powerful mastermind, his cult of zealous maniacs, and his seemingly otherworldly guardians . . .

Scary Intel is the first adventure in Kaysee Renee Robichaud's Bookworm Brigade series of dark fantasy novels, which follows the supernatural sleuthing and book-obsessed Malleus Librum Society's efforts to remove forbidden lore from the public sphere.
