# A Trade of Blood

Two of the Empire's great families stand on the brink of war in the canton of Sapirdad, their retainers armed and waiting. One spilt drop of blood could bring famine across the Empire, so someone must prove that one family's eldest son did not commit a gruesome murder, though the evidence points at him. Ana Dolabra, a brilliant, eccentric detective, arrives in the dusty town with her assistant Din.

Each suspect Ana finds turns up dead, and the killings are arranged to push the rival clans towards war. A mastermind wielding ancient magical technology stands behind them. The hunt crosses wild ranges, ranches and reeking slaughterhouses, and Din finds his loyalties divided. It suits readers who want a classic detective story at its core, with a dark fantasy edge.
