All is not well in the city of Theyne. The summer is at its warmest, the rivers run dry and the humid air is filled with blood sucking parasites, most of them human.
On a dark night, an assassin shows up for an assignation and is surprised to find her quarry and the woman's husband already murdered. A prince wandering the library discovers a forgotten bloodline and a hidden document that reeks of secrets and magic. And a spy ends up with altogether too many questions for a spy to have. If she keeps searching for answers she might quickly turn into one of the bodies she keeps finding lying around the city.
Meanwhile, one head of an esteemed house is being blackmailed into marriage while another is trying to figure out the best way to court the woman's sister. From what he gathers, new clothes and, goddess help him, flirting might be involved.
Blood and Mud is the first book in a new fantasy saga set in the fictional world of Reversia where magic seems to be dying and mechanics is on the rise. Where propriety and manners are key and where religion and power are different sides of the same tarnished silver coin.
