Summary

'A riveting tragedy of blood and desire. A masterwork of urban fantasy - and the coolest thing you'll read this year' -SAMANTHA SHANNON on Blackheart Knights

'A brilliant, bloody wild ride' - JAY KRISTOFF on Blackheart Knights

A half-drowned stranger turns up at the door of Garad Gaheris, retired King's Champion, with a hell of a story to tell. The ex-knight may have uncovered a conspiracy involving the very highest echelons of London's elite.

Current King's Champion Si Wyll, a master illusionist, still reeling from the betrayal of his lover and the death of his mentor, is poised to become the most dangerous man in London. Then a figure from his past surfaces, determined to blackmail him into a plot to change the balance of power for good.

And the city's godchildren, those born with illegal magical abilities, have had enough of being put down - but who must die to ensure their ascension?

Author Biography

Laure Eve is the author of critically acclaimed fantasy duologies The Graces and The Curses, and Fearsome Dreamer and The Illusionists. A British-French hybrid, she was born in Paris and grew up in Cornwall, a land suffused with myth and legend. She speaks English and French, and can hold a vague conversation, usually about food, in Greek. She is very English about comedy and very French about cheese. Selling comic books in foreign languages, loosing a variety of blood-curdling screams into a recording booth and striking odd poses as an artist's model are just some of the things she has done for a living.
