Synopsis

A novella set in the Alex Verus universe between the sixth and seventh novels, Veiled and Burned, and told not by Alex but by the time mage Sonder. Returning to London after a year-long assignment in Washington, D.C., Sonder is called into Keeper headquarters to work with Caldera on an investigation. What looks at first like a simple burglary quickly turns into something much more difficult and dangerous, forcing Sonder to choose where his loyalties lie. Rain, Anne and Barrayar also feature. Benedict Jacka's first Alex Verus novella, self-published in 2021 as a test of readers' interest in side stories told from other characters' points of view.

Publication order and internal chronology are tracked as two separate orderings and are never conflated: a book's place in one says nothing about its place in the other.
