Gilded Iron: Book 2: The Woman in Red

By Christopher Neal

In a city where silence kills louder than bullets, survival has a price - and Victoria Sinclair just learned what hers costs.

Rhỳdin is burning from the inside. Aether is running dry. And whispers of the Eidolon - a myth wrapped in static and blood - are starting to echo through the streets. Victoria thought she had escaped the Shaperate's gaze. She was wrong.

When an old ally goes dark and a ghost from the past staggers in from the smoke, Victoria is pulled into a web of dying empires, corrupt faiths, and forbidden power that threatens to unmake what's left of her. And to save the few that still believe in her, she'll have to become something her ancestors feared.

The Woman in Red is the second book in the Gilded Iron series - a slow-burn speculative noir set in a fractured world where power bleeds from both ends of the gun.

There's no light left. Just smoke, teeth, and the fire you bring with you.
