In a world of science, magic is an abomination.
Magic is an abomination. It spread from the Rift, a great chasm hundreds of miles long that nearly split the southern continent in two. The Rift was a portal, a gateway between their world of science and the mythological world of magic.
On the northern continent of Ocker, King Godwin declared that no magical monstrosity would be allowed … monstrosity would be allowed within their borders. The Royal Inquisitors were formed to investigate reports of mystical occurrences and, should they be found, to destroy them.
Inquisitor Simon Whitlock knows his responsibilities all too well. Along with the apothecary, Luthor Strong, they’ve spent two years inquiring into such reports of magical abominations, though they’ve discovered far more charlatans than true magical creatures. When assigned to investigate Haversham and its reports of werewolves, Simon remains unconvinced that the rumors are true. What he discovers in the frozen little hamlet is that the werewolves are far more real than he believed; yet they’re hardly the most dangerous monster in the city.

Funny but also interest
Didn’t enjoy
Great characters, well developed and interesting. Story was well thought-out and kept you wanting to know what was next.
my goodness what a story
Kept me turning the pages, do wish the characters had shown greater depth. But still a good read.
Very readable and entertaining. Scenes with the men walking in cold and snow were a bit too unbelievable as they were getting cold with special winter coats but had no problems walking 10 miles in snow in dress shoes.
A
Interesting that the cover of the book is very misleading. This is about werewolves, but they are the good guys…. and the bad guy is REALLY bad! It’s central characters are a Sherlock type and his assistant, who is not what he seems at all. I enjoyed it because it was different than the run-of-the-mill monster story.
Not what I normally read, was a little hard 2 get through.
Good science fiction book
It is NOT fair to take my rating to heart. This is not my preferred genre of reading. I thought I would try to expand my “horizons” but really didn’t enjoy the ride. I couldn’t stay connected to the storyline and skimmed through a great deal of the book. It had a summary that I thought would be interesting, but I just couldn’t get attached. I should stick to what I know I like!
Great reading with high e certain ment value. One of the more e.joyable shifter stories
This was a quick moving story, very interesting and hard to put down.
This was a great steampunk story.
This book kept you on your toes you didnt know the next move. You wanted more. The interaction between charactors was exciting.
This was interesting and different. Good twists.
Didn’t like it all that much; seemed a little disjointed. Characters were well drawn, but predictable
Loved the characters. Great period book
Was a very dry, plodding book. Reminded me of Sherlock Holmes but in a very boring way. The author tried to cram the whole story in the last few pages.
i think this book is a world changer
