Quick and Painless
(2014)
Infiltrating the ranks of the Lazarai’s rebellious militia is an impossible task. Paige Holuce knows. She’s tried more than once.
Joining the parasitic religious order in league with the Lazarai, however, requires only two things. A convincing reason for her falsified desertion is easy to acquire - she’s shed her own identity thousands of times in service to her government. The drug addled devotee required to ease her entry into the sect is a little harder, but she's met the perfect candidate before.
Sophia Refuti is still hooked to the highly-addictive street-grade madmilk her brother force fed her seven years earlier. Getting her to cooperate is as easy as kidnapping her and handing her a new dose. Together, with her unknowing accomplice, they'll travel to the center of the Sisterhood's power – their grand temple on the Lazarai planet Ludo. Whether either will make it out alive is a risk Paige is willing to take to get the information she needs.
