Unteholz is a divided city built on the backs of dying monsters.
When an old foe turns up dead, city executioner, Lena Sturm, reluctantly sets out to solve the murder. An outcast scavenger, a clockwork engineer, and a decadent slave trader all become suspects as she tries to make up for the mistakes of her past. It’s an investigation that no one else wants, a case threatening to stir up ancient prejudices and bankrupt a fragile economy.
But there are bigger dangers than one killer in Unteholz. Armies are marching up the country. People are rioting in the streets. There’s a unicorn hunting for blood in the forest and giant ants swarming in the mines. From the pitch-black tunnels under the mountains to the blazing heat of the city mint, Lena faces her most dangerous adventure yet as she tries to unravel what one man’s life was worth.
