Factotum: Monster-Blood Tattoo, Book Three

Rossamünd has exchanged Winstermill and the dangerous life of a lamplighter for Brandenbrass and an even more dangerous life as factotum to the aristocratic monster-slayer, Europe.

Fear and self-doubt must wait, however, as he plunges headlong into the fulgar's day-to-day life of political manoeuvring, high-society parties and well-paid monster-hunting.

But whispers and rumours about her new factotum place Europe herself in danger, and now Rossamünd and the Branden Rose will face the ultimate battle against their enemies, the black-hearted schemers who would destroy them both.

This edition includes the EXPLICARIUM, a complex illustrated guide to the Half-Continent, including over one hundred pages of classified data, appendices and maps revealing the peculiarities of the realm of MONSTERS, the true methodology of monster-hunters, and the many tricks of the DARK TRADES.
