The Fast and the Furies: A tale of Chariot Races, Politics, and Mysteries - both Womanly and Occult!
What starts as a curse on the people's sacred institution of chariot races, soon spirals out of control. From women's mysteries and place in public affairs, to the whole fabric of politics and society itself.
Felix, dressed in a toga and armed with a dagger, is neither a traditional detective nor a traditional magician - but something in between. Whenever there is a foul business of bad magic, Felix is hired to sniff out the truth. What starts as curses by rabid fans soon involves everyone from politicians to organized crime, and Felix must explore the mysteries of secret cults and of the place of women in society. Now he must separate fact from superstition - a hard task in a world where the old gods still roam the earth.
In Victrix is set in a fantasy world. The city of Egretia borrows elements from a thousand years of ancient Roman culture, from the founding of Rome to the late empire, mixed with a judicious amount of magic. This is a story of a cynical, hardboiled detective dealing with anything from daily life to the old forces roaming the world.
This is the third Story of Togas, daggers, and Magic - for lovers of Ancient Rome, Hardboiled detectives, and Urban Fantasy.
Praise for the Stories of Togas, Daggers, and Magic series:
"Assaph Mehr's Egretia is Rome as the Romans themselves imagined it to be. Magic really works. Curses curse, love philtres create love, oracles do predict the future."-- Harry Turtledove, SF&F's Grandmaster of Alternate History
"Mehr creates a vivid cast and an equally vivid setting in which magic just seems to fit in perfectly."
-- Richard Knaak, NYT best-selling fantasy author of Legends of Huma
"Mehr's imagined world based on ancient Rome feels at once familiar and dreamlike."
-- Ruth Downie, NYT best-selling author of the acclaimed Medicus series of Roman mysteries
