Mortedant's Enigma

di RJ Barker (Autore)

Tor, 2027

Mortedant's Enigma is set in the same magical city as the Sunday Times bestseller Mortedant's Peril – an epic fantasy of murder, mystery and unlikely alliances. ‘I loved it from the first page and would recommend it highly' – John Gwynne on Mortedant's Peril The dead tell tales. But only Irody Hasp can hear them. As a master Mortedant, Irody reads the final memories of the deceased. But in the corrupt, tiered city of Elbay, reading the dead's last memories often pays in cabbages, not coin. Scraping by, alongside a rebellious apprentice and a brutal warrior, he’s barely surviving the fringes - until a wealthy aristocrat offers a fortune to solve an impossible locked-room murder. Thrust from the city's violent depths into high-society politics, Irody stumbles into a web of industrial espionage, ancient secrets, and looming gang warfare. With faceless killers tracking his every step, he must unravel the conspiracy before Elbay explodes. In a city built on blood, the truth won't set you free. It will get you killed. * * * Praise for Mortedant's Peril ‘An engrossing, ingenious story’ - Adrian Tchaikovsky, bestselling author of the Children of Time series ‘This is the murder mystery conspiracy thriller fantasy epic you've been looking for. Wonderful stuff!’ - M. R. Carey, author of The Girl with all the Gifts ‘A baroque romp of squalor and grandeur, horror and humour. Fabulous, frantic and moving’ - The Daily Mail Mortedant's Peril was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 25/05/2026.
