Biographisches: " Erin Beaty is the author of the Traitor's Kiss trilogy. She was born and raised in Indianapolis and studied aerospace engineering at the U.S. Naval Academy. After tours as a weapons officer on a destroyer and a leadership instructor, she quit the navy to raise five kids, and once they were all in school, her brain didn't know what to do with that much free time, so she started writing books. She also teaches fiction classes with the Armed Services Arts Partnership as well as the Muse Writers Center in Norfolk, Virginia. She and her husband make a home wherever the navy sends them, which has ranged from Kansas to Korea." Rezension(2): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: June 27, 2022 Beaty conjures a complex and socially conscious murder mystery set in a Western European–inspired medieval fantasy city that’s hiding cataclysmic secrets. As master architect Magister Thomas’s assistant, Catrin, 17, is privy to the ins and outs of Collis’s streets, including Thomas’s current project, a church dubbed the Holy Sanctum. Cat’s magical foresight—kept secret to avoid societal rejection—also grants her premonitions that help evade potential construction calamity. After finding the body of a violently murdered sex worker in the Holy Sanctum, Cat becomes entangled in the investigation. Considered the crime’s only witness, she is expected to cooperate with Simon, 19, the handsome, enigmatic man conducting the inquiry. Though she must keep her magic hidden from Simon or face potentially deadly consequences, she uses it to lead the pair to more bodies and clues. But the longer the serial killer terrorizes Collis and the more secrets the duo uncover, the more danger Cat finds herself in. Beaty thoroughly and deftly examines prejudice against sex workers and people with mental illnesses, combining introspective dialogue, subtle magic, and hair-raising thrills for a riveting, thoughtful read. A contextualizing author’s note concludes. Ages 14–up. Agent: Valerie Noble, Donaghy Literary. "
