About this ebook

A magical murder mystery, complete with medieval mayhem!

Poison in the prince’s pork tenderloin claims the life of his hapless taster. A dagger to the heart slays the sleeping court sorcerer, tasked to investigate. With courtiers seemingly falling like ninepins, the prince’s chancellor turns to Mistress Sinta, a gifted freelance sorceress, to assume the role of detective.

With the aid of Sir Othir, her dashing man-at-arms, Sinta plunges into the murk of the princely court, where—while enjoying some tasty meals—she soon finds that spells alone will not uncover the answers she seeks.

Can our inquisitive young heroine crack the case before herself falling victim to the killer?

Ratings and reviews

I was absolutely thrilled to receive a free copy of the third book in the Tales of Ondiran series and made time today to set myself aside with a nice cup of tea and a biscuit. Now, I will admit to always wanting more when it comes to novella's of such comedic excellence, but in this case, it was just a smidgy smidge less then I was accustomed to, but still a satisfying read Sinta is a gem, a firecracker, a sassy little sausage and no mistake. Talking of all things porcine, I will admit to a few snorting chuckles at the primary murder weapon levied against the prince which i proceeded to try and say out loud without erupting into giggles. Once I had composed myself, I continued into another adventure with Sinta, but this time, more of a cozy murder mystery vibe, and of course I am absolutely riveted Swift has a wondrous grasp of vernacular and timing and the dialogue contains some absolute screamers of wry humour and dry wit. I received a free copy and my review is voluntary

I so enjoyed reading this paranormal historical mystery even though I found it to be quite the tung twister more times than I can count.The array of characters are colorful and quirky some vibrant others not so much but you will find yourself enticed and emerged into this cozey murder mystery through its unexpected account of a magical historical world of knights, ladies in waiting, Barrons jesters and sorcerers and more weaving a tale of wonder. Acquire " Sinta, Sorceress-Detective " for hours of intriguing and enjoyable entertainment. Kat

About the author

Sedigitus Swift is a historian by day and a pseudonymous fantasy author by night (as well as during eclipses or otherwise under cover of darkness). After toiling for twelve years at the U.S. Department of Justice, he became one of two in-house historians at Archelaus (because what upstart publishing house doesn’t need at least two?). When not diverting himself by writing Tales from Ondiran, an offbeat series of medieval fantasy novellas, he specializes in the perplexities of modern Central and Eastern Europe. No doubt he has other equally perverse interests, but we are not currently certain exactly what those might be.
