Synopsis

There is a killer hiding in the sorcerous steam-hells of Londinium, murdering poor women of a certain reputation. A handful of frails dead on cold autumn nights would ordinarily make no difference — but these killings echo in the highest circles, and threaten to bring the Empire down in smoking ruins.

Emma Bannon, sorceress Prime, is pressed into service once more. Archibald Clare, mentath, is determined to aid her, whatever it costs him. And the secrets that lie between these two old friends may give an ambitious sorcerer exactly the leverage he needs to bring down the Crown.

Lilith Saintcrow closes her Bannon and Clare trilogy with a Ripper story rebuilt for a steampunk Britannia: sorcery, treason, madness, and murder most foul.
