The Wake of Saints
The Artem's Ledger Series, Book 1
By A.M. Hamill
The faith of the kingdom is in the hands of a killer...
In Brig Nugh, an extraordinary chain of events is unleashed when sorcerer’s assistant Safia James foils an attempt on the life of her master. Shunned and left with blood on her hands, Safia finds an uneasy ally in Isa Cario: the best friend of the dead assassin who has been ordered to the city to seek both answers and penance for the actions of her deceased friend.
With political tensions in the Gadleen Empire on the brink of all-out disaster, the sorcerer dispatches Safia and Isa to hunt down three missing relics crucial to an enchantment that can restore the balance of power.
As the young strangers embark on their epic adventure, they’ll face iron-fisted mob bosses, disastrous shipwrecks, royal romance, murderous betrayals and – perhaps most dangerously of all – the realisation they have more in common than either could have believed . . .

Trigger/Content Warning:
One of the characters comes from a religious/conservative background and so there are representations of homophobia, transphobia and racism within the book. Of course, these views are challenged, but some may still prefer to avoid. Otheriwse there is violence, death, animal cruelty/death, references to domestic/child abuse and sex work.
