Mortedant's Peril


Mortedant's Peril is an epic historical fantasy of murder, mystery and unlikely alliances from RJ Barker, award-winning author of The Bone Ships. Perfect for fans of Six of Crows and City of Last Chances. ‘An engrossing, ingenious story in a beautifully crafted world’ – Adrian TchaikovskyIrody can speak to the dead. But the living want him silenced. Mortedants can speak to the dead – and Irody Hasp is the greatest of them. Not that they’ll admit it. And not that anyone actually likes the Mortedants, or Irody in particular. Nonetheless, Elbay is a city of tradition, and tradition calls for Mortedants to attend a death. But when Irody reads the corpse of a low-level record-keeper, he’s dragged into a conspiracy that will see someone close to him murdered and Irody framed for the crime, the eyes of the city’s guilds, nobles and villains all fixed on him. With only days to prove his innocence before he is executed, Irody is forced to work with unlikely and unwanted allies: a street urchin and a hulking, inhuman mercenary from the sea people’s city of Oknusoka. With danger and death lurking around every corner, and trust a luxury, Irody is running out of time. He must save himself and his friends, as well as Elbay – the magnificent, terrifying, complicated city that he loves. Or darkness will fall on them all. PRAISE FOR RJ BARKER'Mortedant’s Peril is a fabulous fantasy mystery set in a fresh, imaginative world'- Sebastien de Castell, author of Traitor's Blade‘Brilliant’– Robin Hobb, author of Assassin's Apprentice‘A gifted storyteller’– Nicholas Eames, author of King's of the Wild‘A splendid fantasy work . . .

Ray Khan


Ray Khan was the most unlikely confidential informant in law enforcement history, yet he found himself a fugitive, running from the same government he had helped. Ray Khan was born and raised in Gujarat, India, where his father was an officer with the Indian National Police. Wanting to follow in his footsteps, Ray took the entrance exam for the IPS three times but failed each time, so he followed his wife to the US to chase the American dream. However, things did not work out, and Ray ended up losing his wife and his legal immigration status. After moving to Georgia and buying his first convenience store, Ray unknowingly walked into an undercover ATF operation and purchased untaxed cigarettes. Shortly after, he was arrested and scheduled for deportation. However, by becoming a confidential informant for ATF Special Agent Lou Valoze, Ray was able to avoid deportation and quickly worked off his charges. Over the next six years, he would prove himself to be one of the most successful informants in ATF history. Valoze, recognizing Ray’s unique skills, used him in several undercover operations, and Ray proved his worth by bringing hundreds of violent criminals who sold thousands of crime guns and hundreds of kilograms of narcotics to Valoze and his undercover team. Valoze and Ray would eventually develop a relationship that went beyond the usual agent and informant relationship. But, during the entire time he was working as an informant, he was being targeted by a corrupt, high-level officer with the Georgia Department of Revenue. After Ray and Valoze concluded one of the most successful undercover operations in history, Valoze’s career imploded, and Ray found himself in the crosshairs of numerous corrupt Georgia officials. After being indicted on state RICO charges, Ray evaded the law and became a fugitive in New York City. Having learned many things while working with Valoze, Ray would eventually turn the tables on his corrupt pursuers.
