Description
In a city built on myth and soaked in rain, truth is the most dangerous thing you can find.
Mara Raven doesn’t believe in gods, monsters, or totems. She believes in the dream-sea, an eerie, otherworldly current only she can dive into, dragging up secrets some would prefer to stay buried. Her husband is missing, and the dream-sea is the only way she knows to find him. For her, sinking into its water is not faith. It’s survival.
As the city drowns in its myths and murder, Mara follows a trail of blood, lies, and twisted devotion as nightmares from the dream-sea begin to bleed into reality. A seal has been broken. Something is coming through that Gate, and it’s not forgiveness for the city’s sins.
Dark, hallucinatory, and sharp as broken glass, A Tale of Three Cities is a speculative noir mystery for readers who like their heroines mad, bad, and haunted.
