Beschreibung
In Auremark, the murdered do not lie. A body dead by another's hand can be compelled to answer, truthfully, and only a consecrated sister of the House of Last Light can wake it. Upon that single certainty the whole realm has built its justice. Deep in a frozen winter, Confessor Minoe Caul sits the last nights of a condemned clerk who swears he is innocent, and she believes him, because she has spent thirty years knowing the true note of a voice. But the man was named from the grave by his own murdered master, in the House's own lawful rite, and the dead do not lie. To save him, Minoe must prove the impossible, that a grave has lied, and the proving would shatter the one certainty the realm rests upon and turn every eye toward the House of Last Light and the silent child she hides inside it. So she goes down to the one soul disbelieved for doubting the dead: Trea, a disgraced crown's Serjeant exiled to count barges on the iced-in wharves. Together they follow a trail of forged testimony and bought silence toward a clean, patient man who plants lies in the dead for coin, while the thaw comes on to hang an innocent, and the hunter of the first book draws nearer to the thing he most wants. Trust No Grave is the second novel of Three Confessions, a dark, literary fantasy mystery about the price of truth and the people who refuse to pay it. Cover art: The Convalescent (A Portrait of the Artist's Wife) (1872) by Ford Madox Brown (British, born France, 1821-1893). Public domain
