Tom Lloyd kicks off a spectacular new fantasy series, perfect for
fans of George R. R. Martin, Joe Abercrombie and, of course, Tom
Lloyd! In a quiet corner of the Imperial City, Investigator Narin
discovers the result of his first potentially lethal mistake.
Minutes later he makes a second. After an unremarkable career Narin
finally has the chance of promotion to the hallowed ranks of the
Lawbringers - guardians of the Emperor's laws and bastions for
justice in a world of brutal expediency. Joining that honoured body
would be the culmination of a lifelong dream, but it couldn't
possibly have come at a worse time. A chance encounter drags Narin
into a plot of gods and monsters, spies and assassins, accompanied
by a grief-stricken young woman, an old man haunted by the ghosts
of his past and an assassin with no past. On the cusp of an
industrial age that threatens the warrior caste's rule, the Empire
of a Hundred Houses awaits civil war between noble factions.
Centuries of conquest has made the empire a brittle and bloated
monster; constrained by tradition and crying out for change. To
save his own life and those of untold thousands Narin must
understand the key to it all - Moon's Artifice, the poison that
could destroy an empire.
