A tangled, noxious web.... Alastair Stone has just had a bombshell dropped on him about Aldwyn’s latest plans—but that particular problem will have to take a back seat to a more pressing one. Verity has disappeared. She never returned home following a weekend visit with her half-siblings in central California, and no one has any idea where she is. Fearing an accident or other mundane mishap, Stone and Jason soon discover to their horror that something far worse is going on. Verity is out there somewhere, and she’s deliberately hiding herself from everyone she cares about. When they return to her half-siblings’ home town to investigate what might have led her to flee, they slowly begin to uncover a treacherous web of deceit, cursed magic, and old grudges that go back to before she was born. A web with a vengeful, hate-filled spider pulling its strings from the most unexpected possible place. To return Verity safely home and end the curse, Stone must seek help from the last person he would ever want to ask, and put his very sanity at risk to vanquish the spider. And even all that might not be enough. Prepare to lose yourself in this number one Amazon best-selling urban fantasy series listeners are calling “unstoppable” and “a major winner”. Once you enter the world of Alastair Stone, you won’t want to leave. Note to While Poisoned Vines is a complete story, your listening experience will be significantly enhanced if you first listen to the novella An Unexpected Truth.
