Synopsis

The enthralling conclusion to the Bannon and Clare trilogy from New York Times bestselling author, Lilith Saintcrow.

Sorcery. Treason. Madness. And, of course, murder most foul. . .

A shattering accident places Archibald Clare, mentath in the service of Britannia, in the care of Emma Bannon, sorceress Prime. Clare needs a measure of calm to repair his faculties of Logic and Reason. Without them, he is not his best. At all.

Unfortunately, calm and rest will not be found. There is a killer hiding in the sorcerous steam-hells of Londinium, murdering poor women of a certain reputation. A handful of frails murdered on cold autumn nights would make no difference. . .but the killings echo in the highest circles, and threaten to bring the Empire down in smoking ruins.

Once more Emma Bannon is pressed into service; once more Archibald Clare is determined to aid her. The secrets between these two old friends may give an ambitious sorcerer the means to bring down the Crown. And there is still no way to reliably find a hansom when one needs it most.

The game is afoot. . .

A steampunk take on Jack the Ripper. I wasn't sure what to expect but this was my favorite of the series. After the events of the Red Plague Affair, Emma Bannon has kept to her house and not ventured out. She is ignoring requests from the queen and still needs to have a serious conversation with Mik......more

Goodreads review by David on February 13, 2015

I've had a mixed relationship with the Bannon & Clare novels. I've always been intrigued by the main characters, and the mysteries of their past, but I've sometimes struggled with the narrative they've been placed in. Whilst I was not overly enamoured with the first in the series, The Iron Wyrm Affai......more
