The booksellers who police the Old World keep a careful watch there, particularly on the entity who inhabits the ancient hot spring. Yet this time it is not from Sulis Minerva that trouble starts.

But this is only the beginning, as the booksellers investigate centuries of disappearances and deaths and try to unravel the secrets of the murderous Lady of Stone, a serial killer of awesome powers.<br><br>If they do not stop her, she will soon kill again. And this time, her target is not an ordinary mortal.<br><br><b>A wintry return to the world of <i>The Left-Handed Booksellers of London</i>, as a magical map leads to a dangerous adventure.</b></p><p>Praise for Garth Nix</p><p>Garth Nix is one of the best world-builders in fantasy.
