He thought he had seen everything, then the people of the Cities called him a hero. Velananc has vanished, a new Fate roams the streets, and Japhet has other problems: the local cabal has admitted they know he's present. It ought to be enough for anyone to juggle, but he can't turn around without walking into a monster on the once-tame streets of Liath-Tamren. Worse, the Fah Disan has come to him with a terrible suspicion: this is the doing of his brethren. Both assassinated kings, even the demon. Meant to destabilize the north for the empire's retaking. Meanwhile, Ephrem's investigation progresses. He left Liath-Tamren to remove himself from Japhet's affairs before his meddling got him killed, but he finds himself more invested than ever. The secrets he uncovers will have far-reaching implications.
Born to a couple of bon vivants with a Renaissance approach to intellectual curiosity, M.C. learned to taste wine, build a campfire, and think in terms of geologic time before quitting the nest. Early fascinations with anthropology and fantasy translated into a degree in English lit, but that's the last rational decision the author made aside getting married. In pursuit of a J.D., M.C. moved to the city of Chicago from (no joke) every other region in the country. Returned triumphant from the bar exam, the obvious next step was to put these tools to use writing adventures in imagined worlds. Biggest childhood influences, Pratchett and Pern, which come through in humor, vibes of science fantasy, and an unapologetic love for cities. There will be slang, cursing, magic, moments of great warmth. And cities. If that wasn't coming through: lots of cities.
