Necropolis - 3

After the events of 'The Great Game', the British Empire is on the brink of a war with France that may, for the first time, see magicians fighting on both sides.

For Lady Gwendolyn, it is time to prepare the Royal Sorcerers Corps for conflict, but just when she needs to be firmly focussed, her adopted daughter Olivia - the only known living necromancer - is kidnapped.

Her abduction could signal a terrible new direction in the impending war.

When Intelligence establishes that it was Russian agents who took Olivia, an incognito Gwen joins a British diplomatic mission to Russia, an uncertain element in the coming conflict.

Once she has arrived in St Petersburg, she discovers that the Tsar is deranged and has a plan that threatens the entire world.
