Snowblooded - Paperback

Rival assassins stalk the streets of Sweden, hunting down a smuggler of magic in this romantic historical fantasy adventure.

As two of the highest-ranking assassins in the eighteenth-century city of Vinterstock, Valour and Petrichor are given the task of hunting down Brandquist, the shadowy leader of the city's illegal magic trade. Finding the mysterious Brandquist will be a challenge, though: no one knows who, where, or even what he is. However, for Valour and Petrichor, working together will be the real trial. Although both had been plucked from the streets as orphans by the Order of Axsten and trained side by side, the action-driven Valour and intellectual Petrichor hate one another.

To make matters worse, Valour is preoccupied by being asked to keep an eye on the clever and sexy heiress Ingrid Rytterdahl. She needs to keep Ingrid close, and not just because she's long been carrying a torch for her. Petrichor grudgingly agrees to let Ingrid in on the job when he realizes that Ingrid's knowledge and connections could be useful in their quest. Now all Valour and Petrichor have to do is make sense of Vinterstock's criminal underground before the crime lord turns the tables and puts a mark on them.
