Synopsis

A legendary serial killer stalks the streets of a fantastical city in The Helm of Midnight, the stunning first novel in a new trilogy from acclaimed author Marina Lostetter.

In a daring and deadly heist, thieves have made away with an artifact of terrible power—the death mask of Louis Charbon. Made by a master craftsman, it is imbued with the spirit of a monster from history, a serial murderer who terrorized the city.

Now Charbon is loose once more, killing from beyond the grave. But these murders are different from before, not simply random but the work of a deliberate mind probing for answers to a sinister question.

It is up to Krona Hirvath and her fellow Regulators to enter the mind of madness to stop this insatiable killer while facing the terrible truths left in his wake.

My thanks to Marina Lostetter, Tor/Forge and Netgalley. I'm no good at reviewing Fantasy books, so I'm not even going to try. I didn't think I'd even like this book when I first began.

Goodreads review by Chelsea on March 31, 2021

"The Rules of the Valley are as harsh as they are pure. The gods sacrificed much for humanity, and require us to sacrifice for each other in return. Beware the Five Penalties." Wow, this was a pretty incredible start to what I assume will be an epic trilogy. A little bit serial killer murder mystery......more

Goodreads review by Bradley on December 19, 2020

This was something of a surprise to me because I'm kind of a connoisseur of covers and with a title like that, I HAD to assume the novel was an epic fantasy with standard worldbuilding for such. What it IS, however, is something more like a hybrid Jack-the-Ripper London in a unique fantasy with a Buj......more

4.0 Stars This was such a unique fantasy with compelling characters and an interesting magic system. I particularly appreciated the city setting, rather than the usual sprawling worldbuilding of traditional epic fantasy. Even though the story was told over three perspectives and timelines, the novel......more
