A Fall of Water: Elemental Mysteries Book Four

Giovanni Vecchio and Beatrice De Novo are still grieving a loss suffered in the far East when their path leads them to Rome. Carwyn and Tenzin travel with them. The city's old court looks glittering on the surface, but rivalries run beneath it.

Clashes break out almost as soon as the group arrives. Giovanni and Beatrice soon see that people they take for allies may be enemies, and that long-standing rivals may know a deadly secret.

To survive, the pair must call on old alliances, ancient powers and sharp cunning. What they want is an eternity together, and the book suggests that reaching the end of their trouble means returning to where it began.

This is the fourth Elemental Mysteries book and the conclusion of the series. It reads as a mystery wrapped in court intrigue, with the four elements of Fire, Earth, Wind and Water finally meeting, and the consequences are severe.
