Heads up to start, this one has some death and gets a little gory. But it’s a dry sense of humour that really powers the story. It’s also fun for those with a love for book and manuscript history!

The MC is an expert bookbinder and forger but this latest gig is a lot more trouble than they’re used to, especially after running away from their history to set up this new life. A fun and intense bite-sized story with a medieval setting.
