The Fallen Blade
Price: AUD 29.99 Author: Jon Courtenay Grimwood

Fifteenth century Venice; regent Prince Alonzo plots against his sister-in-law, whilst his niece, Giulietta is unhappily being sent into an arranged marriage with the king of Cyprus to strengthen ties against threats from Germany, Byzantium, or possibly the Mamluks of the Sultan. Meanwhile the ordinary citizens lock their doors at night to avoid the danger of werewolves prowling the streets... Grimwood effectively uses the paranormal in this historical fantasy to metaphorically embody the scheming an vicious amorality of the period. The author's minimalist writing style does require close reading so as not to lose track of characters and plot developments, but the result is an intriguing first volume in a series.
