A Fractured Conclave (Fractured Conclave, #6)

A dangerous fugitive on the loose. Threats against the world's rulers. And a bit of family drama, too.

Hallie Talbot is far from everything that is familiar to her, halfway across the world, traveling through buildings and landscapes she had only read about. If the locations are new, the job is not. She and Girard Abbott are charged with tracking down and bringing into custody a dangerous fugitive.

As if that job wasn't hard enough, they are working against a backdrop of intense scrutiny and pressure on their investigative team, not to mention growing threats against members of the world's ruling council, and whispers about an extensive plot to over-turn the established world order. Whoever wants to reshape the world doesn't care who they have to hurt - or kill - to get their way, and as bodies pile up, Hallie is the focus of a lot of unwanted attention.

Added to which, Hallie's family ties and personal connections - old and new - are trying to shape her life to their wishes.

Can Hallie, once a skip tracer from low city, find a way to navigate the new dangers around her and prevent disaster?

If you like your fantasy mixed with mystery and magic, and a heroine who can hold her own, you will love this latest from Vanessa Nelson.
