Of Knives and Night-blooms

By Tansy Rayner Roberts

"Never speak the name of the Black Raven aloud. Never fail your sacred duty. Never trust magic. And never travel on the River Divine..."

CALYX: Didn't mean to bind 3 assassins to her eternal magical servitude, but leaning into it. Has places to be, and a daughter to protect.

IKAROS: Priest of death. Hates this river. Hates boats. Hates that Calyx's magic means he can't kill her. Abandoned by his god. Having a bad week.

DIO: Not even supposed to be here, but kind of into it. Surrounded by hot assassins. Having a great week.

VALERIA: Priest of death. Ageless, deadly, better than all of you. Can kill with a shoe but it probably won't come to that because she is carrying all the knives.

MARDI: Priest of death. Pregnant. Dangerous. Too good for this. One day away from retirement.

REYNARD KALDORAN: Going to kill every last one of you.

THE RIVER DIVINE: Hold my beer.

An action-packed adventure tale of unreliable gods and burnt-out assassins, from the award-winning author of The Creature Court.
