Beyond delightful!' - Alix E. Harrow, author of <i>The Ten Thousand Doors of January</i></b><br><br>Maud Blyth has always longed for adventure. She’d hoped for plenty of it when she agreed to help her beloved older brother unravel a magical conspiracy. She even volunteered to serve as an old lady's companion on an ocean liner. But Maud <i>didn't</i> expect the old lady to turn up dead on the very first day of the voyage.<br><br>Now she has to deal with a dead body, a disrespectful parrot, and the lovely, dangerously outrageous Violet Debenham.

Only then might they work together to locate a magical object worth killing for – and unmask a murderer. All without becoming dead in the water themselves.<br><br><b>Set in an alternative Edwardian England filled with magic, murder and romance, <i>A Restless Truth</i> is the spellbinding second book in The Last Binding trilogy by Freya Marske.
