Förlagets information

Irody Hasp is a cleric skilled at 'reading' the last thoughts of the dead. But when his apprentice is murdered, he's drawn into a plot that could destroy his entire entire city - and himself.

*THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER*

'An engrossing, ingenious story in a beautifully crafted world' - Adrian Tchaikovsky

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. And not that anyone actually likes the Mortedants, or Irody in particular. Nonetheless, Elbay is a city of tradition, and tradition calls for a Mortedant to attend a death.

But when Irody reads the corpse of a low-level record-keeper, he's dragged into a conspiracy that will see someone close to him murdered and Irody framed for the crime. With only days to prove his innocence before he is executed, Irody is forced to work with unlikely and unwanted allies: a street urchin and a hulking, inhuman mercenary from the sea people's city of Oknusoka. With danger lurking around every corner, Irody is running out of time. He must save himself and his friends, as well as Elbay - the magnificent, terrifying, complicated city that he loves. Or darkness will fall on them all.

Mortedant's Peril is an epic historical fantasy full 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.
