Divine Right (Merovingen Nights, #5)

0/5 ( ratings)

As the summer heats up and the tangle-lillies clog the canals, boat traffic slows to a crawl, while rumors of sabotage escalate. But the tangle-lillies are more than a mere nuisance for they have the potential to break the hightowners' long-standing fuel monopoly. As the plants proliferate throughout Merovingen, their spread generates anger among the dissatified canalers and fear in hightown circles.

But far more than tangle-lillies threatens the peace of Merovingen. For the Janists have found a long sought means for spreading forbidden technological knowledge to the canalers even as the Nev Hettek agents led by Magruder see their plot to infiltrate and gain control of some of the great Houses place in sudden and unexpected jeopardy. And, with the city's future already in peril, will the discovery of an intelligent, nonhuman native race shift the precarious power balance and spark a long-feared revolt?
