About this ebook

USA TODAY BESTSELLER

When an apprentice from the Mapmakers' Guild goes missing, Matt and India are employed to find him. Going undercover as a married couple, they discover that not everyone at the guild is what they seem, and the lad's unearthly maps caused jealousy, suspicion and fear.

With one of the apprentice's magic maps in their possession, India and Matt must use their wits and India's fledgling, untried magic to find him. But the more they investigate, the more sinister plots they uncover, including a link between the Mapmakers' and Watchmakers' Guilds, and an ancient magical treasure buried beneath the streets of London.

As the net of suspicion widens and enemies draw closer, it's not just the apprentice's life that's in danger, but Matt's too. Someone will go to great lengths to prevent him discovering the name of the man who can fix the watch keeping him alive. Great lengths indeed.

Ratings and reviews

These novels are a fun and fast read. I have enjoyed them so far and look forward to the next in the series. However, I felt that India's character seemed a bit less quick witted compared to the first book. It was off putting at times to have her miss such obvious deductions in reasoning. One of the things that hooked me was the strong intelligent heroine. While she still is a strong heroine, there were just a few scenes that felt off in her character.

I love this series!!!! It's so hard to put it down sometimes. I love the relationship between Matt and India. They're slowly but surely falling in love and they don't even know it.

Suspenseful, deep characters a flair that mildly resembles pratchett... I am hooked got the free one first then got sucked in to buy the series!
