About this book
In an empire threatened by colossal leviathans, a brilliant but eccentric investigator and her magically altered assistant are sent to solve an impossible murder. A high-ranking official has been found with a tree erupting from inside his body, and the clues point toward political sabotage as well as a looming ecological catastrophe. The Tainted Cup combines a satisfying Holmes-and-Watson-style investigation with inventive fantasy biology, courtly conspiracies, and mounting danger. Its brisk chapters, sharply drawn partnership, and elaborate world make it an especially compulsive modern fantasy mystery.
