A Noble Murder
The Fragmented, #1
Reeks: The Fragmented
Paul E Smith
- Finding
- a
- dead
- body
- is
- never
- good.
- When
- it's
- the
- son
- of
- a
- deranged,
- skin-stripping
- baron,
- who
- you've
- been
- hired
- to
- find
- alive
- and
- well,
- it's
- even
- worse!
- Drevin
- knows
- that
- to
- keep
- his
- flesh
- attached
- to
- his
- body,
- he
- needs
- to
- find
- out
- who
- killed
- him
- and
- why.
- And
- for
- that,
- he
- needs
- help!Teelan
- is
- a
- young
- coroner
- with
- unique
- forensic
- skills
- and
- a
- fascination
- with
- death.
- It
- is
- said
- that
- he
- can
- speak
- with
- the
- dead
- and
- can
- uncover
- the
- nature
- of
- their
- demise.
- But
- he
- is
- precocious
- and
- anti-social,
- preferring
- his
- own
- company
- to
- others.Meanwhile,
- across
- the
- world
- the
- rulers
- of
- each
- land
- are
- actively
- seeking
- those
- rare
- individuals
- with
- Fragments
- of
- magic
- to
- serve
- them.
- When
- Drevin
- and
- Teelan
- run
- into
- Cali,
- an
- unruly
- dockside
- girl
- with
- extraordinary
- powers,
- they
- become
- embroiled
- with
- the
- baron's
- Gatherers,
- who
- are
- hunting
- people
- like
- her.Can
- they
- put
- their
- differences
- aside
- and
- work
- together
- long
- enough
- to
- solve
- the
- murder,
- placate
- the
- baron
- and
- escape
- the
- Gatherers,
- in
- a
- world
- where
- people
- with
- special
- Traits
- are
- hunted
- and persecuted?
