About Unquiet Dead:
In Chiaroscuro it’s important to keep the faith.
When the Temples north of Chiaroscuro are burned and followers of the Sun Goddess are murdered, Catherine, a bard of the Ealdoth Temple, sets out to find those responsible and to bring them to justice. With only the help of a traveling group of minstrels and a retired fae investigator, Catherine must solve the mystery before more people are killed.
So saddle up your clockwork mount, buckle on your electro-dagger, and join Catherine as she finds herself pitted against members of her own Temple, rogues members of the Seelie Court, and a seemingly unstoppable army of undead.

Read an Excerpt:
“I’m glad
to see you’re talking again.” Benedict glanced at her, his eyes kind. “Did you
work out whatever was bothering you?”
Catherine
gave him a wry smile. “No.”
“Want to
talk about it? I can be a good listener.”
“No.” She
stared down at her shoe as she tapped it against the smooth wooden footrest of
the wagon. “Not now,” she added, to take some of the sting out of her reply. “I
need to get my thoughts clear before I discuss them with another person. But I
appreciate the offer.”
“Suit
yourself.” He sighed and dragged a hand through his hair.
“We do
not have to stop talking. Just…on a different subject.”
He
smiled. “Lady’s choice.”
“Why did
you undertake this job?”
“That’s
direct. You don’t think it was for the money, then?”
“No, I
don’t.”
“It’s an
awful lot of money.”
“I don’t
know you very well, but I have a feeling that you don’t do much only for the
money.” She glanced at the horses, the reality in front of her. “Those animals
are proof of that. Clean, well-fed, and happy. With little red ribbons in their
hair. Most people would not be so kind.”
Benedict
smiled at her comments and then his face grew sober. “A lot of the people who
lived in those communities—they were friends. They were murdered, plain and
simple, and no one seems to know who it was, who benefits from their deaths.
It’s rare someone in my position would be able to do something about it.”
“You want
to find the murderer or murderers and bring them to justice?”
His grip
tightened inadvertently on the reins. “I want to find out who killed them and
bring a reckoning.”
