He's always found his apprenticeship to a lawman to be dull work. But these aren't just any artifacts -- these are the instruments of revolution, the banners under which the Duke lead his coup. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Just as the artifacts are unearthed, the city is shaken by a brutal murder that seems to have been caused by a weapon not seen since the days of rebellion. With Quill being the main witness to the murder, and no one in power believing his story, he must join the Archivists -- a young mage, a seasoned archivist, and a disillusioned detective -- to solve the truth of the attack. And what they uncover will be the key to saving the empire - or destroying it again. \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51374258159839,"sku":"9780316440875","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/b2gAw_YotQ9780316440875.webp?v=1789175664"},{"product_id":"relics-of-ruin-paperback","title":"Relics of Ruin - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom a rising star in epic fantasy comes the captivating second novel in a trilogy featuring an unlikely team who must find a way to work together and solve an empire-spanning mystery to defend the last place they call home. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e WINNER OF THE 2024 ENDEAVOUR AWARD \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Amadea Gintanas and her archivists solved a brutal murder, dispelling a grave conspiracy against the empire in the process.
