Publisher Description

Twenty years ago a dragon took their loot - now they’re stealing it back!

When Lord Jesper Winterglass rides into town with a dead dragon in tow, he instantly becomes the hero of the hour. The fact that no dragon has been seen near the city in centuries, or that the gold and jewels in the creature’s hoard must presumably have belonged to someone else once upon a time, doesn’t seem to bother Ravensby’s citizens. Most of them, anyway.

Detective Inspector Freya Gitasdóttir has built her career on finding missing persons and lost valuables, and her investigations into the hoard’s original owners soon lead her to alleged jewel thief Lucian Thorne. But is he really a hardened criminal, or simply another victim of the arrogant, decadent Gentry who rule the kingdom of Alfheim?

Freya’s loyalties—and her magical talents—are stretched to the limit as she tries to find a middle way between the letter of the law and the dictates of her conscience. Because if she fails, the dragon isn’t the only one who’ll end up dead.

"Part police procedural, part heist caper, and a whole lot more besides, in an inventive and intriguing world. Excellent entertainment.”


Juliet McKenna, author of ‘The Green Man’s Heir’

“Lyle's worldbuilding is is simply superb and shows a wonderful eye for detail, crafting a vivid 1920s-esque fantasy world drawing on Norse mythology for the groundwork and mixing in a variety of other influences and cultures.

Populated by interesting, diverse and well developed characters from widely varying backgrounds, the town of Ravensby makes a fascinating backdrop for an engaging tale that is part magical police procedural and part equally magical heist caper, with a dash of romance and a lot of intrigue.”

Goodreads review

“The first in I’m sure in what is going to be an exciting fantasy series; but this book, well worth a read, can also be read as a stand alone book. Can’t wait for the next book to see how the story develops.”
