Collects The Buried Life, Cities and Thrones, and The Song of the Dead in a single volume.
The gaslight and shadows of the underground city of
Recoletta hide secrets and lies. When Inspector Liesl Malone investigates the
murder of a renowned historian, she finds herself stonewalled by Recoletta’s
top-secret historical research facility. When a second high-profile murder
threatens the very fabric of city society, Malone and her rookie partner must
tread carefully, lest they fall victim to not only the criminals they seek, but
the government which purports to protect them. Knowledge is power, and power
must be preserved at all costs…The dark, forbidden knowledge of how the city came to be
founded has been released into the world for all to read, and now someone must
pay. Inspector Liesl Malone is on her toes, trying to keep the peace, and
Arnault’s spy ring is more active than ever. Has the city’s increased access to
knowledge put the citizens in even more danger? Allegiances change, long-held
beliefs are adjusted, and things are about to get messy.
The Library Accord has finally been signed by Recoletta and
its neighbours, but the fight for power continues. A desperate attempt to save the
spymaster Arnault from execution leads to Malone’s arrest and Jane’s escape.
They must pursue each other across the sea to discover a culture that has held
together over the centuries. There they will finally learn the truths about the
Catastrophe that drove their civilization underground.
