 ight="125" alt="" /></p>\n<p>In Daretana&rsquo\;s most opulent mansion\, a
  high Imperial officer lies dead&mdash\;killed\, to all appearances\, when
  a tree spontaneously erupted from his body. Even in this canton at the bo
 rders of the Empire\, where contagions abound and the blood of the Leviath
 ans works strange magical changes\, it&rsquo\;s a death at once terrifying
  and impossible.</p>\n<p>Called in to investigate this mystery is Ana Dola
 bra\, an investigator whose reputation for brilliance is matched only by h
 er eccentricities.</p>\n<p>At her side is her new assistant\, Dinios Kol. 
 Din is an engraver\, magically altered to possess a perfect memory. His jo
 b is to observe and report\, and act as his superior&rsquo\;s eyes and ear
 s--quite literally\, in this case\, as among Ana&rsquo\;s quirks are her i
 nsistence on wearing a blindfold at all times\, and her refusal to step ou
 tside the walls of her home.</p>\n<p>Din is most perplexed by Ana&rsquo\;s
  ravenous appetite for information and her mind&rsquo\;s frenzied leaps&md
 ash\;not to mention her cheerful disregard for propriety and the apparent 
 joy she takes in scandalizing her young counterpart. Yet as the case unfol
 ds and Ana makes one startling deduction after the next\, he finds it hard
  to deny that she is\, indeed\, the Empire&rsquo\;s greatest detective.</p
 >\n<p>As the two close in on a mastermind and uncover a scheme that threat
 ens the safety of the Empire itself\, Din realizes he&rsquo\;s barely begu
 n to assemble the puzzle that is Ana Dolabra&mdash\;and wonders how long h
 e&rsquo\;ll be able to keep his own secrets safe from her piercing intelle
 ct.</p>\n<p>Featuring an unforgettable Holmes-and-Watson style pairing\, a
  gloriously labyrinthine plot\, and a haunting and wholly original fantasy
  world\,&nbsp\;The Tainted Cup&nbsp\;brilliantly reinvents the classic mys
 tery tale.</p>\nhttps://sclsnj.libnet.info/event/9978208
