About this audiobook
Elizabethan spy Mal Catlyn has everything he ever wanted—his twin brother Sandy restored to health, his family estate reclaimed and a son to inherit it—and while his work is far from over, Mal still has a slim chance of eliminating his enemies whilst they are at their weakest.
With Sandy’s help, Mal learns to harness his own magic in the fight against the guisers, but it may be too late to save England. Schemes set in motion decades ago are at last coming to fruition, and the barrier between the dreamlands and the waking world is wearing thin.…
“No wilting faerie queens and tortured knights here: this is how historical fantasy gets dirty.” —Douglas Hulick, author of Among Thieves
