The Glass Magistrate

About this book

In the decaying fantasy metropolis of Oakhaven, a city built upon the rotting roots of a colossal dead world-tree, magic is a commodity extracted from the wood's marrow. Garrick Fench, a disgraced investigator missing an eye, wants nothing more than to run his pawn shop in peace. But when a high-ranking official is found murdered—his body grotesquely transmuted into solid crystal—and Garrick's estranged sister is framed for the crime, he is forced back into a world he swore to leave behind. As Garrick delves into the city's underbelly, he uncovers a vast conspiracy orchestrated by the ruling council, who are hoarding pure magic while letting the lower districts succumb to blight. Aided and opposed by a marrow-addicted informant, a guilt-ridden politician, and an idealistic city guard driven to the brink, Garrick must navigate a labyrinth of corruption where the truth is as dangerous as the magic that sustains their dying world.
