A Drop of Corruption

Więcej o książce

In the gripping sequel to The Tainted Cup, brilliant detective Ana Dolabra faces her most formidable challenge yet. In Yarrowdale, a Treasury officer vanishes from his locked quarters, with all exits under constant guard. The Empire summons Ana, accompanied by her bemused assistant Dinios Kol, to crack the case. However, they soon realize they are not dealing with a mere disappearance but a murder, marking the first move in a deadly game orchestrated by an adversary who can seemingly bypass secured barriers and anticipate Ana's every strategy. As the investigation unfolds, it becomes clear that the killer has set their sights on the Shroud, a high-security facility where the Empire’s top minds study the volatile magic of fallen Titans. The potential fallout from an attack on the Shroud could cripple the Empire, depriving it of the magic essential for its power. Din has witnessed Ana tackle seemingly impossible cases before, but with the stakes escalating and Ana appearing to lag behind their elusive foe, he worries that she may have finally encountered an enemy beyond her capabilities.
