<p><b><i>Knives Out</i></b><b> meets <i>The Binding</i> in this historical romp full of magic, romance and adventure.</b><br><br>Maud Blyth has always longed for adventure. She’d hoped for plenty of it when she agreed to help her beloved older brother unravel a magical conspiracy. She even volunteered to serve as an old lady's companion on an ocean liner. But Maud <i>didn't</i> expect the old lady to turn up dead on the very first day of the voyage.<br><br>Now she has to deal with a dead body, a disrespectful parrot, and the lovely, dangerously outrageous Violet Debenham. Violet is everything Maud has been trained to distrust, yet can’t help but desire: a magician, an actress and a magnet for scandal.<br><br>Surrounded by open sea and a ship full of suspects, Maud and Violet must learn to drop the masks they’ve learned to wear. Only then might they work together to locate a magical object worth killing for – and unmask a murderer. All without becoming dead in the water themselves.<br><br><b><i>A Restless Truth</i> by Freya Marske is the thrilling follow-up to <i>A Marvellous Light.</i><br><br>‘Mystery! Magic! Murder! . . . This book is a confection, both marvellous and light’ </b>– <b>Alix E. Harrow</b>, <b>author of <i>The Ten Thousand Doors of January </i>on <i>A Marvellous Light</i></b></p>
