Point of Hopes: A Novel of Astreiant (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The city of Astreiant is full of magic, danger and bureaucracy, and never moreso than when something or someone is making guild apprentices disappear without a trace. Philip Eslingen has just been discharged from his mercenary company and as a Leaguer and a stranger, makes an ideal suspect. Fortunately for him, Pointsman Nicolas Rathe from the Point of Hopes station doesn't agree, but he knows the only way to prove that is to find the missing children and the real culprits. Together they must follow a twisted trail of deceit and magic in a city on the brink of exploding into violence. If they can't learn to work together, the results could be catastrophic, even fatal. And if they can't trust each other, the price could be higher than either of them realize. Book 1 of the Astreiant Series
