Dead bodies aren't unusual in the alleyways of Fenest. Muggings, brawls
gone bad, debts collected--Detective Cora Gorderheim has seen it all.
Until she finds a Wayward man with his mouth sewn shut. As Detective
Gorderheim pieces together the dead man's story, she's drawn into the
most dangerous story in the Union of Realms: the election. Gorderheim
just wants to find a killer but nothing's that simple in an election
year. Dark forces conspire against the Union and Gorderheim finds
herself at the rotten core of it all. She'll find the killer, but at
what cost?
