Description
A gripping urban fantasy mystery - perfect for fans of Rivers of London and Shades of Magic.
A sleepy seaside town on the west coast of England. Two stabbings. The victims: a man called Arthur and a mysterious knight. Drawn into a mythical world of magic and betrayal, can Detective Inspector Niamh Khalid solve an impossible case and save her brother's life?
Things aren't going well for Detective Inspector Niamh Khalid. Her brother Lance has been arrested, her superior officer is breathing down her neck, and she is investigating an attempted murder, with no suspects or clues to the identity of the victim.
Then, another gruesome find rocks her quiet hometown: Lance and his friends discover a dead body - a young man, dressed as a knight.
Soon, a series of terrifying incidents threaten to derail Niamh's investigation. Lance is clearly hiding something, and Niamh's journalist ex-fiancé is back in her life, asking awkward questions.
When criminal barrister Merlin Rhys seeks her out with a stunning revelation, Niamh begins to appreciate just how strange and frightening a mystery she and Lance have become involved in.
With time running out fast, Niamh may have to accept that magic is real. But can it help her solve her case, protect her brother, and save her world?
Fans of Ben Aaronovich, V.E. Schwab, and strong female protagonists will love Kingsrise, an urban fantasy detective novel by British first-time author Anne Mattias.
