About this listen

 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • ONE OF BOOKPAGE’S TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR • The eccentric detective Ana Dolabra matches wits with a seemingly omniscient adversary in this brilliant fantasy-mystery from the author of The Tainted Cup.

“Wonderfully clever and compulsively readable . . . another winning blend of fantasy and classic detection.”—Publishers Weekly

In the canton of Yarrowdale, at the very edge of the Empire’s reach, a Treasury officer has disappeared into thin air—vanishing from a room within a heavily guarded tower, its door and windows locked from the inside.

To solve the case, the Empire calls on its most brilliant and mercurial detective, the great Ana Dolabra. At her side, as always, is her bemused assistant Dinios Kol.

Ana soon discovers that they are investigating not a disappearance but a murder—and one of surpassing cunning, carried out by an opponent who can pass through warded doors like a ghost.

Worse still, the killer may be targeting the high-security compound known as the Shroud, where the Empire harvests fallen titans for the volatile magic found in their blood. Should it fall, the Empire itself will grind to a halt, robbed of the magic that allows its wheels of power to turn.

Din has seen his superior solve impossible cases before. But as the death toll grows and their quarry predicts each of Ana’s moves with uncanny foresight, he fears that she has at last met an enemy she can’t defeat.

good sequel but missing/changing characteristics of the main "hero" are startling. story is captivating, narrator is pleasant and the ending is satisfying but leaves you wanting more and more

So enjoyed this listen. Second story in this series is better developed and devious. I so appreciated the mystery and the development of the main characters. Well articulated side characters as well. Kudos to all involved.

Fantastic story, brilliantly read

What really pushed this one over the top for me was the narration. Andrew Fallaize is phenomenal — expressive, perfectly timed, and able to bring every character to life in a way that made the whole experience even better.

Ana is an absolute delight, as is Din. I hope to hear more about Ana's previous life in future books.

If you enjoy immersive fantasy with strong characters and top-tier narration, this audiobook is an easy recommendation. I loved every minute of it.

Fantastic! Amazing Narrator.

Wonderful narration, complex mystery, laugh out loud dialog. Further character development. This should win an Audie. Strongly recommended.

As good as if not better than "The Tainted Cup".
