About this ebook
A vividly imagined fantasy murder mystery from the acclaimed author of The Bone Ships and Age of Assassins: in a city of ancient automata, strange spirits, and sleeping gods, a cleric of death finds his own life on the line.
An International Bestseller
Irody Hasp is a Mortedant, a cleric tasked with reading the last thoughts of the dead―though no one thanks him for it. No Mortedant is popular, but Irody is barely tolerated by the other members of his own guild.
Yet his troubles quickly multiply when all fingers point to Irody as a suspect of a murder—a death that hits too close for comfort. The only way to save his own skin is to find the real culprit himself, an investigation that could threaten the entire corrupt yet wondrous city he calls home, and put the lives of his newfound accomplices (and perhaps even friends) in grave danger.
Perfect for fans of The Lies of Locke Lamora, The Tainted Cup, and Witness for the Dead, this investigative misadventure begins a perilous new series by award-winning author RJ Barker.
At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
