Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis
A brand-new collection of stand-alone stories featuring the return of two fan-favourite characters from the world of the critically acclaimed
Redemption's Blade and
Salvation's Fire novels.
Tales of adventure, fortune, glory, and magical archaeology in a fantasy world like no other
The war is over, but the world and its kingdoms remain broken. And that leaves lots of interesting magical treasures just... lying around.
Treasures that Doctor Catt & Fisher, collectors of magical items, shop-keepers, treasure-buyers and boundless enthusiasts, are eager to get their hands on.
They aren't fussy about who they hire, or how the item is obtained. They just want an interesting story.
Synopsis
Four new tales of Doctors Catt and Fisher... Scholars, shopkeepers, collectors... aficionados. Obtainers of rare antiquities; relic hunters who can't resist a lead, even when it takes them into terrible danger. There's always an opportunity to be found amid the confusion, in the wake of the terrible Kinslayer War. There's always a deal to be done, a tomb to open, a precious thing to... obtain.
From encounters with the monstrous Vathesk to exploring new worlds; from wielding great power to do great good, to unearthing dark things best left lost. If you need the experts, if you can find your way to their Cherivell shop, maybe you can hire Doctors Catt and Fisher.
"Robson writes a tense, fast-paced quest adventure... I hope to see more like it." Liz Bourke
"If you're looking for something that celebrates the genre, while working to interrogate and question how that genre works, look no further than Redemption's Blade." Martin Cahill, Tor.com
