"It has been nearly two years since Vanja brought down the cult she started, and she's still paying the price. As the Pfennigeist, she helps the desperate and haunts the corrupt all across the empire--and no matter what, she works alone. But an impossible killer is tearing through royalty and leaving Vanja's signature red penny on every victim, including the Blessed Empress. The Imperial Conclave must elect her successor within a matter of weeks, or risk the collapse of reality itself . . . even though it puts every royal house within the killer's reach. Vanja tells herself she's wading into vicious royal games only to save the name she made. But the Order of Prefects has also put their sharpest official on the case: Journeyman Prefect Emeric Conrad, whose heart Vanja broke two years ago. And their only hope of surviving bloody conspiracy, sinister magic, and old adversaries is to work together one last time to save not just their loved ones, but their very future"--Provided by publisher.
