Conspiracy. Murder. A lethal secret weapon born of magic and science. A brilliant police officer with a mythical power seeks the truth - at any cost.
An action-packed mix of fantasy and hard-boiled detective fiction.
When a foreign diplomat is found murdered outside a brothel on the streets of New Capital City, two local sex workers are blamed. Only the investigating officer, Inspector Ani Sulaqua, believes in their innocence.
Hindered by her superiors, stonewalled by the victim's colleagues, and lied to by his closest friends, the case becomes an obsessive crusade against the rich and powerful that will lead Ani from the poorest of crime-ridden slums to the highest political office.
What is this elite cabal plotting? Why murder a pious man to hide it? And why does Ani find herself drawn, time and again, to the mysterious and sacred lifeblood stones that legend tells once burned to death an entire army, engulfing them in flames, sparked by a bloodstained light?
