Lamplighter: Monster-Blood Tattoo, Book Two

The Half-Continent grows ever more dangerous—monster attacks are rising, and every far-flung village cries out for help. Into this perilous world, lamplighters journey daily, lighting roads to safeguard travelers. It's not a job for the faint-hearted, with new reports of deadly theroscades arriving each week. Rossamünd Bookchild, a foundling sworn into the Emperor's Service as a prentice lamplighter, struggles with the hardships of training at Winstermill Fortress. Lonely and out of place, his challenges multiply when a young wit arrives, determined to defy her renowned mother by joining the lamplighters. As Rossamünd navigates this sinister landscape, he forges new friendships but attracts dangerous enemies, each step drawing him closer to a dark and unimaginable fate. Lamplighter, Book Two of the Monster Blood Tattoo series, delivers twice the action, adventure, and incredible creatures of its predecessor. Enter the richly detailed world of the Half-Continent—a place of organic-engine ships sailing caustic vinegar seas, daring monster-hunters enhancing their abilities through dangerous surgeries, and a society balancing awe-inspiring wonders with perilous dangers. D.M. Cornish's exceptional world-building and vivid storytelling invite readers to explore a realm filled with unforgettable characters and gripping conflicts. An epic continuation of Rossamünd's journey, Lamplighter offers excitement, intrigue, and a deeper glimpse into a world like no other. Adventure awaits—don't forget your hat! Cornish's world-building … the unique and fascinating Half-Continent, where ships with organic engines sail caustic vinegar oceans and monster-hunters gain supernatural powers through dangerous surgeries, is a delightful, refreshing standout in a sea of cookie-cutter fantasy worlds.
