Synopsis

Survive the City of Cries
Bhaajan grew up in the Undercity, a community hidden in the ruins buried beneath the glittering City of Cries.
Caught between the astonishing beauty and crushing poverty of that life, and caught by wanderlust, she enlisted in
the military. Now retired, Major Bhaajan is a private investigator who solves cases for the House of Majda, a powerful
royal family centered in Cries. The powerful elite of the City of Cries are disappearing, and only Bhaajan, who grew
up in the Undercity, can find them—if she isn’t murdered first.

Goodreads review by Beth

This was just what I expected in tone. I like hanging out in the Skolian Empire, and it's even more fun with Bhaaj who works for the super elites than it was hanging with the royal family. I enjoy the background gender reversals and how minor prejudice against men is officially frowned upon but wide......more
