Magic and rituals go hand in hand, but "The Sharp Bite of Ritual" takes this to a nail-biting level. Genevieve finds herself embroiled in a case that involves an ominous ritual designed to grant unparalleled power, at a devastating price. As she unravels the intricacies of this dangerous ceremony, she also comes to question the moralities surrounding power and sacrifice. McLeod doesn't shy away from the darker aspects of magical lore, making this instalment as thought-provoking as it is suspenseful. A perfect read for those SFcrowsnest aficionados who like to probe the ethics of magic while enjoying a riveting tale.
