Journey to the country of Jaiya, in a world not quite like ours. Here, humans ride trains, drive cars, and use cell phones, but they share their world with insect people and trollfolk, and stranger things lurk in the shadows…
In a place like Jaiya, a servant has to obey his employers' every whim, even if the whim isn't in the job description. Erno spends his days rushing around while his wealthy employers bark orders at him. By night, he cases out his employers' homes and sells the information to his burglar friends. He has only three rules: don't get close to anyone, don't let anyone get hurt, and don't let anyone get framed for the crime. But his latest job will plunge him into a world of political intrigue,and test his rules to the breaking point. His only chance at redemption lies in the love of a persecuted young woman named Zeni, with the power to foresee his death….
Note: Zeni is related to a couple of characters from Monster and Dreamlost, and the heroines of those two books show up in this one. However, Deathseer is meant as a standalone with a "happily ever after" ending. The romance is on the sweet side, but there is some violence due to the main characters' encounters with the villains.
