About Marie Brennan
Marie Brennan is a former anthropologist and folklorist who shamelessly pillages her academic fields for inspiration. She has recently misapplied her professors' hard work to the short novel DRIFTWOOD and TURNING DARKNESS INTO LIGHT, a sequel to the Hugo Award-nominated Victorian adventure series The Memoirs of Lady Trent. The first book of that series, A NATURAL HISTORY OF DRAGONS, was a finalist for the World Fantasy Award. Her other works include the Doppelganger duology, the urban fantasy Wilders series, the Onyx Court historical fantasies, the Varekai novellas, and nearly sixty short stories, as well as the New Worlds series of worldbuilding guides. Together with Alyc Helms as M.A. Carrick, she is the author of the upcoming Rook and Rose epic fantasy trilogy, beginning with THE MASK OF MIRRORS in January 2021.

The demon-vanquishing samurai, Asako Sekken and Agasha no Isao Ryotora are summoned to Winter Court. Their exploits with the Spirit Realms have taken a toll on the pair and the cut and thrust of Rokugani politics proves challenging. After being urged to share their tales of adventure, the Winter Court guests begin to fall into a deep sleep from which they cannot wake. Fearing foul play, the Phoenix demand retribution, but Sekken and Ryotora uncover the hand of a supernatural trickster seeking entry to the mortal realm. The path to victory will risk their lives and the strange bond between them. But they must succeed, lest something awful escape into Rokugan.

Chaos has broken out in the isolated Dragon Clan settlement of Seibo Mura. During the full moon, horrifying creatures rampage through the village, unleashing havoc and death. When the Dragon samurai Agasha no Isao Ryotora is sent to investigate, he faces even greater danger than expected. To save the village, he must confront his buried past – not to mention an unexpected Phoenix Clan visitor, Asako Sekken, who has his own secrets to hide. The quest to save Sebo Mura will take the two samurai into the depths of forgotten history and the shifting terrain of the Spirit Realms… and bring them face to face with an ancient, terrifying evil.
Als Lord Gleinleigh Audrey rekrutiert, um eine Reihe uralter Täfelchen zu entziffern, die die Geheimnisse der antiken drakoneischen Zivilisation enthalten, hat sie keine Ahnung, dass ihre Forschung sie in eine komplizierte Verschwörung stürzen wird, die eine Rebellion anzetteln und einen Krieg auslösen soll. Zusammen mit ihrem besten Freund aus Kindertagen, Kudshayn, der ebenfalls Archäologe ist, muss sie einen Beweis für die Verschwörung finden, ehe es zu spät ist.
Aber sie hat die Suche nicht aufgegeben. Diese wird sie durch ganz London und in den verborgenen Palast führen, der Feen in der sterblichen Welt Zuflucht bietet. Doch diese Zuflucht bröckelt nun, vom Metall der unterirdischen Eisenbahn durchbrochen.
Drei Jahrhunderte, die der Onyxhof überdauert hat, kommen nun an ein Ende. Ohne den Schutz des Palasts haben die Fae keine andere Wahl, als zu fliehen. Jene, die bleiben, haben nur ein Ziel: Sicherheit in einer Stadt zu finden, die sie nicht willkommen heißt. Doch welchen Preis werden die Sterblichen von London für jene Sicherheit zahlen?
