Sleep, Dear Prince

In the heart of the empire, unrest brews: someone is brutally killing the city's residents. At the same time, Prince Aiden receives an unusual message related to an outbreak of a terrible disease. To understand the situation, Aiden teams up... with his investigator friend Nicholas. Together they must find not only the sender but also understand how the disease is connected to the murders in the capital. And why, for all the gods' sake, does the criminal leave clear traces of forbidden magic along with the torn bodies?

A unique world in the aesthetic of the Victorian era.
Longtime friends unite their efforts for a new investigation.
The heroes are the same as in the novel «Ink and Blood», but both novels can be read as standalone books.
A magic system built on links and enchantments.
Illustration on the cover by SaiprinSK. The edition is complemented by black-and-white sketch illustrations of characters and settings.
