You should probably start with book one of the series.
What are your secrets worth to you?
To Lina Malnar, a member of the secret Cartographer Association tasked with keeping the knowledge about portals to other worlds safe from the unassuming public, the early weeks of 1946 mark the first time she’ll get to spend a few days in peace and quiet with her lover, her partner, her otherworldly copy Karol and her impressive collection of bespoke suits.
Getting invited to stay at the elusive family home of the Prodans—Karol’s adoptive family, the one she won’t say a word about to Lina—is not how the girls planned to spend their first vacation together. Being involved in a fatal accident at the engineering marvel site nearby, the wind control engines atop of the Quarnaro Bay, wasn’t part of the plan, either.
But the cogs of Upper society of the Bay keep turning, and with help from old friends, newly met relatives and a little patience and cunning, Lina and her partner will soon have to find their way out of a very old, very private, very discreet family problem.
In a world where everything is golden nothing truly glitters, and the secrets you don’t know can still cost you your life.
How many worlds does it take to stop a war?
It’s early 1946, the Cartographer chapter of the City of Rijeka is in turmoil, and the worlds of the known paraversum are about to go to war.
As members of the Cartographer Association—literally, the people keeping the access points between the worlds secret—Lina and her otherworldly doppelgänger Karol would be involved with trying to stop the first inter-world war either way. But, with their private arrangement finally out of the basement—and the consequences of breaking the Cartographer rules hanging over the lovers’ heads—it’s almost impossible for them to avoid getting dragged right into the storm.
As their bosses combine their resources to prevent war from breaking out, the girls find themselves at the forefront of a clandestine task force setting out across the worlds in search of the one thing which can nip the invasion in the bud.
The only problem is that they’re supposed to be working with other Cartographers—not solving another mystery with just the two of them, as they’ve grown accustomed to.
And not everybody has the paraversum’s best interests in mind…
