Cursebird On A Wire
Об электронной книге
The ale's musty
The cheese turned green on the spoon
How do you solve a curse when it's no more than they deserve?
Ibram Ucalegon is an arm-for-hire with a slight problem. He's committed the mortal sin of working for one noble while poking through the house of another. Worst of all, he was caught! In return for his freedom, Ibram swears to supply Lord Halfrey with an introduction to his employer, Lady Azadiya Hobon, alchemist extraordinaire. All Lord Halfrey has to do is let Ibram out of his cage.
But on the day of Halfrey's introductory gala, a cursebird flies in the face of everybody's plans. Can Lady Azadiya discover the culprit and save the party before Ibram trades in his smooth sailing for another hard landing?
Cursebird On A Wire is a novella in The Alchemist's Agent series, a fantastical mystery set in the Golden Age of the Empire of Vissilia. Each novel is a standalone story, but fans of alternate worlds, audacious detective stories, and intrepid alchemists will want to read the entire series!
Об авторе
E.M. Burnham grew up in Oregon, USA, a long, long time ago, and spent a great deal of time in school daydreaming about worlds just on the other side of the windowpane. She graduated high school, regardless, and went to college in order to pursue her passion for writing and communication. She has a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Creative Writing, and another Masters in Library Science.
A steady childhood diet of Doctor Who, Mr. Rogers, Masterpiece Theatre, and Vincent Price hosting Mystery on PBS created her love of all things clever, eclectic, and kind. She loves adventures (high and low fantasy) and cheerfully supports whatever soccer team her brother watches on TV.
