The Absinthe Chalice

About this book

In an alternate 1937 Europe where the Holy Alliance rules through compulsory psychological interrogations and experimental serums, forensic confessor Renata Voss lives in the shadow of a corrupt Vatican. When an autopsy on a high-ranking cardinal reveals he was murdered to cover up a sprawling conspiracy, Renata finds herself holding the key to the Church's darkest secrets. Hunted by elite enforcers and aided by a defrocked hacker priest and a smuggler queen, she must navigate a deadly labyrinth of lies, blackmail, and forbidden alliances. As the stakes rise from personal survival to preventing a genocidal holy war, Renata is forced to confront her own past complicity and make a choice that could tear down the very foundations of the empire.
