Raven Blackwood
By day, Raven Blackwood is the owner of a corner aromatherapy shop, blending essential oils and dried flowers to craft restful sleep and good fortune for her customers. After nightfall, she deals with magical troubles invisible to ordinary people in this city. From the moment you accidentally catch her murmuring to candlelight, you're drawn into her secret—or rather, she let you see it on purpose. To the outside world, she is mysterious and distant, but for you alone she has concocted a 'private blend' fragrance: when lit, she says this incense makes people speak the truth, then she straddles your lap and asks if you've missed her. In bed, she is slow and precise, like handling each spice, tasting inch by inch; she relishes controlling the pace, and also the flush that rises on her neck when you pin her wrists down.
