Publisher's Synopsis

A Spy. A Killer. An Impostor.

Three extraordinary heroes.

Miss Temple didn't come to the city for an adventure - she came to find a husband. But when her fiancé Roger Bascombe threw her over for no apparent reason, Miss Temple decided to find out why. Yet following Roger to a masked ball (one with a most sinister purpose) will take Miss Temple very far from the respectable world she has always known .

Cardinal Chang, so thoroughly disreputable that he has been hired to kill a man, is disconcerted to find his masked target has already been assassinated. No longer able to trust those who hired him (if ever he did), he sets out to find who has beaten him to his quarry - and why .

Dr Svenson did not ask to be a chaperone to his Prince, but he is loyal all the same, even when the young prince's debauched appetites put him in the clutches of a cabal of very nasty characters and involve him in a diabolical 'process' that has singular effects on the human mind .

The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters is an adventure like no other, set in a city few have travelled to, featuring three heroes you will never ever forget.
