The Iron Wyrm Affair: Bannon and Clare: Book 1
by Lilith Saintcrow
Sorcery. Seduction.
Deduction.
Archibald
Clare is a detective of truly uncanny abilities—a mentath, capable of feats of
deduction and logic that border on the supernatural. He is also abruptly,
uniquely, the only unregistered mentath left alive in Londoninium. Someone has
murdered the others and, if not for the timely intervention of the Prime
sorceress Emma Bannon, there would have been no one left to stop... whatever is
coming.
Mentaths
and sorcerers are dying—or worse, being seduced into betraying Queen and
Country. Bannon and Clare must uncover treachery, conspiracy, and sorcery of
the blackest hue. And in a Britannia where magic has turned the Industrial
Revolution on its head, time is short.
The game is afoot...
