Rossamünd has exchanged Winstermill and the dangerous life of a
lamplighter for Brandenbrass and an even more dangerous life as factotum
to the aristocratic monster-slayer, Europe. Fear and self-doubt must
wait, however, as she plunges headlong into the fulgar’s day-to-day life
of political manoeuvring, high-society parties and well-paid monsterhunting.
But whispers and rumours about her new factotum place Europe
herself in danger, and now Rossamünd and the Branden Rose will face the
ultimate battle against their enemies, the black-hearted schemers who
would destroy them both.
