Publisher's Summary
An undying king. A relic of rune-carved bronze and ivory flames. A war for powers only a god could fathom.
In the centuries since rising up against a cruel, twisted dynasty, the Seven Cities have done much to move past their horrid histories, the memories of ancient monarchs who once fed on the life and blood of their own people. Those with a talent for magic are no longer hounded and slain. The lands beyond the Cities are safe, spared the atrocities the Alescuans once wrought upon them. For 300 years, there has been peace.
Then Eska de Caraval, head of the prestigious Firenzia Company, finds herself framed for murder.
Soon hunted for the strange bronze disc she most certainly did not steal, Eska is forced to pit both wit and blade against all manner of adversaries who would eagerly see her dead. An assassin in the shadows. A monster in the deep. A rival looking to burn her alive. From sword and fang and flame Eska must defend herself, struggling all the while to prove her innocence and unravel the mysteries of a dangerous artifact.
But unbeknownst to Eska and her enemies, the cruelest of those tyrants of old is stirring in his grave.

preachy MC is somewhat annoying.
while the writing and the style are quite decent. unfortunately the story is quite annoying. The main character Eska's attitude is not believable at all. She is at odds with the reality of her upbringing and station in life, and there is no reason for it other than to serve the agenda being pushed by the authors. The insertion of specific modern day attitudes to a fantasy setting comes across as smug and lazy. people read fantasy for escapism, not to be preached to.

Sophisticated and intriguing
An intricate story which is combined masterfully with strong character development. Sometimes the detail slows the pace of the plot, but the details are always poignant and relevant.
Excellent narration.
