The Merchant of Dreams by Anne Lyle
Anne Lyle continues her Elizabethan sword-and-cipher fantasy series NIGHT’S MASQUE with Book Two, The Merchant of Dreams. This book picks up almost a year after the end of The Alchemist of Souls, and follows Mal Catlyn and his friends on their adventures, which take place mostly on the ocean or in the city of Venice.
In Lyle’s universe, the New World is populated by skraylings, a non-human race who reincarnate and who use magic.
