The Collected Adventures of Bannon & Clare

by Lilith Saintcrow

Overview

The Bannon & Clare series by New York Times bestselling author Lilith Saintcrow, featuring a forensic sorceress and a detective in an alternate Victorian London, now collected in a single edition for the first time.

Emma Bannon, forensic sorceress in the service of the Empire, has a mission: to protect Archibald Clare, a failed, unregistered mentath. His skills of deduction are legendary, and her own sorcery is not inconsiderable. But the conspiracy killing registered mentaths and sorcerers alike will just as likely kill them as seduce them into treachery toward their Queen.
