Paladin's Hope

From two-time Hugo Award-winning author T. Kingfisher comes a darkly cosy queer fantasy romance with a thrilling murder mystery, set in the same world as Paladin`s Grace and Swordheart. Piper is a lich-doctor, a physician who works among the dead, determining causes of death for the city guard`s investigations. It`s a peaceful, if solitary profession…until the day when he`s called to the river to examine the latest in a series of mysterious bodies, mangled by some unknown force. Galen is a paladin of a dead god, lost to holiness and no longer entirely sane. He has long since given up on any hope of love. But when the two men and a brave gnole constable are drawn into the web of the mysterious killer, it`s Galen`s job to protect Piper from the traps that await them. He`s just not sure if he can protect Piper from the most dangerous threat of all…
