 Apologies for being utterly crap with blogs and updates. I tend to go into full-blown hermit mode in the last stages of getting a book ready for publishing. It's a process not unlike banging your head with a shovel. Repeatedly. And to keep the pressure on, the third book in the series is due out in October (yay! More head banging!).
A quick note: this story (and the next) takes place at the same time as A God Among Thieves and focusses on events happening in and around Moqara. It's all part of a larger world that is about to collide as the empire extends its reach a little too far ... So, what's this book about? The land is in crisis. A diplomat from Tryste arrives in Moqara with the offer of an alliance, only to be arrested for treason before the day is done. As he stands trial, the only man who can speak in his defense is murdered. But did the killer strike to protect a secret or to gain leverage over one of Moqara’s most powerful families? Reina Dadario, Captain of the Prince’s Guard, hunts for an assassin who was thought to have been executed by the Guard years before. A killer she had arrested herself. Beyond the border, the neighboring city of Eresdel falls to civil war. As a fanatical new ruler throws the region into unending chaos, Prince Andraz sends a spy to form a resistance, one which needs to act swiftly if it is to challenge the Empire when it arrives. But of all those sworn to obey his every command, what would the Prince have to gain from sending in Reina Dadario’s only son? Shadows' Reach. Grab it now from your favourite retailer.
