Fire in the Flint

She thought surviving Norwich's walls was hard. Now the real danger lies within.

When Detective Eliza 'Bish' Barnaby returns to Norwich, she expects the usual-scheming merchants, whispers of smuggling, and her partner Willoughby's dry wit. But when a powerful trading patriarch is found murdered, Bish is pulled into a dangerous plot where every clue points to forbidden magic.

The deeper she digs, the clearer the truth becomes: someone is manipulating Norwich's wild magic-and covering their crimes with blood. With rogue practitioner Cade working in the shadows and the city sheriff losing patience, Bish must untangle the conspiracy before the entire city falls to ruin.

Caught between murder, magic, and political intrigue, Bish is running out of time. Norwich is a city built on secrets-and some will kill to keep them buried.

Perfect for fans of Ben Aaronovitch, V.E. Schwab and Jasper Fforde, Fire in the Flint is a supernatural crime thriller that blends murder mystery and magic into a gripping fantasy adventure.
