关于此电子书

Third in the series that’s “an intriguing mix of modern world, Victorian/Regency England, and faery” from the Hugo Award-winning author of Any Other Name (Locus).

Caught in the insidious designs of powerful puppet-masters and playing a life-or-death game for control, Cathy and her comrades face their greatest challenge yet: changing the balance of power in the Split Worlds.

Now at the heart of the Londinium Court, deceit and murder track Will’s steps as he assumes his new role as Duke. Faced with threats to his throne and his life, the consequences of his bloody actions are already coming back to haunt him . . .

Meanwhile, Cathy, wrestling with the constraints of the Agency and Dame Iris, comes to terms with her new status in Fae-touched society and seeks others who feel just as restricted by its outdated social rules. As Max works with Cathy to uncover the horrors that underpin the culture, he bears witness as the final blow is struck against the last Sorcerers in Albion . . .

“Put as simply as I can manage, this book is wonderful . . . Everything is bigger, better, more spectacular . . . but at the same time the character development that I’d hoped for is given, and it’s given incredibly well.”—Over the Effing Rainbow

“There’s lots of action in this one, but there’s still all of the court intrigue and wonderful characterization that I’ve come to expect from the series, and a few very important threads are wrapped up. Don’t worry, though, the ending leaves plenty of hints of things to come, and I can’t wait.”—My Bookish Ways

作者简介

Emma Newman was born in a tiny coastal village in Cornwall during one of the hottest summers on record. Four years later she started to write stories and never stopped until she penned a short story that secured her a place at Oxford University to read Experimental Psychology. In 2011 Emma embarked on an ambitious project to write and distribute one short story per week – all of them set in her Split Worlds milieu – completely free to her mailing list subscribers. A debut short-story collection, From Dark Places, was published in 2011 and her debut post-apocalyptic novel for young adults, 20 Years Later, was published just one year later – presumably Emma didn’t want to wait another nineteen... Emma is also a professional audiobook narrator. She now lives in Somerset with her husband, son and far too many books.
