Evensong is here!
Agnès buried her head in her hands. “How do you know what to hold on to?” she croaked. Alternis turned to Edea, expecting her to answer – but her blue eyes were glittering dangerously, the line of her shoulders tense and brittle. He swallowed. Hard.
“You hold on to the rope,” he said at last. His voice, already small and flat, threatened to be crushed beneath the heavy darkness. “You hold on to the rope,” he deadpanned, once more, “and you try not to fall.”
Special Agent Alternis Dim thought the stakes had been high before: when a man’s life had hung in the balance, and when a Crystalist cult had wrested control of the oil industry. But at least he hadn’t been alone, then. Now Edea’s missing, and the only clues to her location are threads in a spiderweb of international intrigue and blood-soaked history. One wrong move and he’ll unravel it all – but unforeseen dangers are everywhere . . . and everyone’s secrets are coming to light.
