POV: Cormac Brennan
Location: The Inferno (Underground Casino), Shoreditch
Time: Four Weeks After Father's Death
The Inferno is three levels below a Shoreditch nightclub. Humans dance upstairs, oblivious to what's beneath their feet. The Veil keeps them ignorant. Keeps them safe from knowing what shares their city.
I descend through a service entrance, past security that recognizes supernatural when they see it. Down concrete stairs that smell like old blood and older money.
The casino opens up on the third sublevel. Massive space, magically expanded beyond physical dimensions. Roulette tables, card games, dice. Everything glittering with dragon gold and vampire glamour.
Dragons run The Inferno. They run most supernatural casinos. Patient, calculating, rigging every game just enough
