About the Book
Night is falling, and shadows are gathering in crowds across the city, bronze and sable, flickering, or still as stone.
There is always an audience here, for anything – human, beast or object –
that comes close to tell its story, or betray its deadly secret...
What now? Heartless unkindness – lust for riches – suppressed hatred and
rage honed to a razor–? Or some epic sorrow passed into a silver scream.
Above everything, the drifting and unavoidable webs of the spinning City gods.
So, will you listen in the shadows, or become yourself a story-teller in the bronze half-light?
Or do you have another mission here, in Marcheval?
A new triumphant trio of dark fantasy stories, in the same vein as Tanith Lee’s previous imaginary city novels of Paradys and Venus.
