  "The two of us against all of them? How unfair for them." 
  In Velles, a cosmopolitan city of fading magic, the prince’s daughter, and heir to the throne, has gone missing. That she appears to have done so voluntarily is of little consolation to the prince. 
  He hires Hokuren, a newly independent private investigator who demands perfection of herself and works tirelessly until she’s solved the case. And she always solves the case–even if most of them so far have been finding lost pet cats (don’t tell anyone that part). 
  Her assistant is Cinna, an elf hired fresh off the streets–literally. She’s everything Hokuren is not: sloppy, uneducated, and lacking in restraint or filter. But Cinna’s impulsiveness and willingness to get her hands dirty makes her the perfect foil for Hokuren’s reserved, thoughtful nature. 
  As the two chase down the princess, their case develops into a much bigger conspiracy. Hokuren doggedly pursues secret after secret, unraveling a scheme to find a long-lost goddess that’s been running in the background of Velles’s seedy underbelly for over two decades. And she might find out that her unassuming assistant hides the biggest secret of them all... 
  A lighthearted and fast-paced fantasy adventure full of action, mystery and sly humor, Cinnamon Soul is also the heart-warming exploration of an unbreakable bond of friendship forged between two women as they struggle against the forces of the elite and powerful.

Amidst rising unrest over religious reform and feudal oppression, Peter discovers a mysterious document hinting at his royal ancestry and a destiny tied to overthrowing the king. Buchan masterfully blends action, suspense, and rich period detail, exploring themes of loyalty, identity, and the clash between tradition and change. As Peter navigates danger and deception, the "blanket of the dark" symbolizes both the chaos threatening England and the shadowy forces shaping history. A tale of adventure and moral complexity, the novel captures the tension of an era on the brink of transformation, reflecting Buchan’s trademark blend of intellect and excitement.
