If blood is spilt, the whole of the empire may be plunged into starvation and chaos.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo de-escalate matters, someone must do the impossible: prove that one family’s eldest son is innocent of a gruesome and unforgivable murder, despite the incontrovertible evidence against him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is with this undertaking that the great detective Ana Dolabra is tasked, her assistant Din at her side—and the two find themselves racing with great speed and little dignity to the scene.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs ever, the impossible proves little obstacle for the deadly combination of Ana’s intellect and Din’s keen eye, and mere hours after riding into the dusty town, Ana glimpses the greater pattern behind the crime. A deeper, subtler web of death is being woven in plain sight, by a mastermind with an ancient magical technology at his disposal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut even Ana's uncanny insight is of little use when each new suspect she uncovers ends up dead--with each new killing calculated to bring tensions between the two rival clans past the boiling point. And as Din pursues their adversary through the canton's wild ranges, sprawling ranches, and reeking slaughterhouses, he finds his loyalties divided in unexpected ways.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaperback, 480 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FRIDA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57162159096134,"sku":null,"price":24.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0815\/1603\/6422\/files\/9781399725514_3d2906e3-7fed-444a-8ba4-19bba3b12b18.jpg?v=1787151256","url":"https:\/\/thefrida.nl\/products\/a-trade-of-blood-r-j-bennett","provider":"FRIDA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
