Awesome news. RJ's writing is always top notch.
I’m so delighted to have acquired @rjbarker.bsky.social’s amazing MORTEDANT’S PERIL for @torbooksuk.bsky.social! In this fantastical book, Irody can read the thoughts of the dead, and is drawn into a murder-mystery in his magic-infused city. And it could be the death of him. Info: shorturl.at/C2bz2
