surprising but compelling murder mystery, which plays out according
to the supernatural terms de Bodard has laid out so
evocatively.”—The Chicago Tribune

that is thick with magical history. Pathos and beauty intertwine in
a novel filled with longing.”—Mary Robinette Kowal, Multiple-Hugo
award winning author of The Glamourist Histories

betrayals in a ruined and decadent future Paris—wildly imaginative

exciting world of deep magic and complex, layered characters.”—Ken

toward an uncertain future beneath the burden of its imperial sins,
burns with vengeful magic and subtle, shining prose.”—Max
Gladstone, author of the Craft Sequence
“De Bodard aptly mixes moral conflicts and the desperate need to
survive in a fantastical spy thriller that reads like a hybrid of
le Carré and Milton, all tinged with the melancholy of golden ages
lost.”—Publishers Weekly
