At first, the search for the daughter of one of the great houses seems straightforward, but when the girl is found murdered – her body charred to cinders by an intricate and deadly device – Mikani and Ritsuko will be challenged as never before. Then they’re assigned a potentially volatile case where one misstep could end their careers. Between his instincts and her brains, they collar more criminals than any other partnership in the CID. He’s a charming rogue with an uncanny sixth sense she’s all logic – and the first female inspector. Janus Mikani and Celeste Ritsuko work all hours in the Criminal Investigation Division, keeping the citizens of Dorstaad safe. But there were some who still wielded the ancient magic… And thus the ten great houses grew, and the city of Dorstaad rose, and the Ferisher bloodlines grew thin. They had magic but the invaders were many, and after a bitter war, peace was only made through marriage. Though they were few, they were divided, and when the mortal conquerors came they did not stand together. Because I rather like them.Īcross the water lay the land of Hy Breasil, inhabited by the immortal Ferishers. With the second novel’s publication fast approaching (May 23rd, 2014), I thought it would be nice to showcase the covers in a quick post. I somehow managed to miss these novels entirely – at least, the first in Aguirre’s Apparatus Infernum steampunk series, Bronze Gods (which was published in the UK in October 2013).
