Undeliverable Burden, Book 2

The trial of the fungal witch is over. But the price of victory proved higher than anyone could have imagined. Lidia Chrysstein stands to inherit a vast fortune, but to claim it, she must enter a dangerous game with the Holy Consistory itself. The Church has no intention of surrendering those lands so easily. And in the meantime, young women have begun to die in the city’s most exclusive brothel. They are murdered with particular brutality, and each time, their dead bodies continue to dance. To unravel the mystery, inquisitor Kysei Tiffano is forced to take a desperate step: under the guise of a client, he must visit madame Rosemarie's brothel. And of course, Lidia is there by his side, for who else would accompany him on such a delicate venture? But the deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: the murders are only the surface. Someone has stolen an ancient manuscript from the Church's vault, a document that could shake the very foundations of the Holy Consistory, and planted it on the inquisitor. Politics enter the fray, and over the city looms the shadow of a long-forgotten legend of golden dragonflies falling from the sky.
