Whiskeyjack (Paperback or Softback)

Magic is out of fashion. Outlaws make their own. Jemis Greenwing has seen his father’s reputation vindicated, been acknowledged as Viscount St-Noire from his mother’s side, slain a dragon, and not incidentally been given a raise. After a chaotic first month back in Ragnor Bella, he’s finally feeling confident that he can make it to the Winterturn Assizes and the reading of his stepfather’s will without falling headlong into any more disaster. Then he’s arrested on suspicion of murder. By magic. Of one of the greatest folk heroes in history. Trained to be a politically radical gentleman-of-leisure, Jemis thought he was doing fairly well as a bookstore clerk. That, of course, is before he ends up on the run in the Arguty Forest confronting highwaymen, illegal distillers, the odd relation, and the Wild Saint—not to mention all the secrets the supposedly least interesting town in the continent can hold. Book Three of Greenwing & Dart, fantasies of manners—and mischief.
