Librarian's Note: an alternate cover for this ISBN can be found here. Cerise is dead. So she explains to in a message to an old lover. She tells of a chance encounter with a strange chef and the world’s most inappropriate proposal, of an ancient arcane blade and a secret underground of night markets and ritual sex, and of her final orgiastic demise. But even in death, her story isn't over, and Cerise makes a final plea for love. "The Red Dagger" is a short occult mystery about the rapture of lust and is the second course of Feast of Shadows
