Mortedant's Peril

di RJ Barker (Autore)

Tor, 2026

Mortedant's Peril is an epic historical fantasy of murder, mystery and unlikely alliances from RJ Barker, award-winning author of The Bone Ships. Perfect for fans of Six of Crows and City of Last Chances. Irody can speak to the dead. But the living want him silenced. Mortedants can speak to the dead, and Irody Hasp is the greatest of them. Not that they’ll admit it. Or that anyone actually likes the Mortedants, in particular Irody. Nonetheless, Elbay is a city of tradition and it calls for Mortedants to attend a death. But when Irody reads a clerk’s corpse, he uncovers a vast conspiracy which sees him framed for the murder of those closest to him. Soon, his execution is only days away. With the eyes of Elbay’s nobles, guilds, and villains all turned his way, Irody must work with unwanted allies: a street urchin and a hulking, inhuman mercenary. With danger lurking and trust a luxury, Irody must save himself, his friends and Elbay – the terrifying, complicated city he loves. Or the darkness that has fallen on him will come for them all. Praise for RJ Barker 'Mortedant’s Peril is a fabulous fantasy mystery filled set in a fresh, imaginative world' – Sebastien De Castell ‘Brilliant’ – **Robin Hobb, author of Assassin's Apprentice ‘A gifted storyteller’** – **Nicholas Eames, author of King's of the Wild ‘A splendid fantasy work . . . Highly recommended’** – Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of Children of Time
