Ars Memoriae

(PS Publishing | Amazon US | Amazon UK)

In this richly woven, highly dramatic, and in the end warmly romantic novella, Beth Bernobich paints an alternate Earth of Ruritanian atmosphere and suspenseful high danger. Here, Ireland, called Éireann, is the seat of a powerful empire, having resisted English rule and its infinite tragedies; here, Europe is split into many contending states, always intriguing, always fencing; here, savants are investigating methods of altering the current of Time, threatening the fabric of history itself. As reality quivers at its roots, as a deadly conspiracy seeks to plunge the continent into war, Éireann's best agent is dispatched to the Balkans, to probe a network of treachery and murder that could evolve into something far worse…   —Publisher's Description

A fascinating combination of alternate history and gritty spy tale, Ars Memoriae will compel you to follow its hero through the twists and turns of its complex plot and leave you hoping to see more of its world.  —Kage Baker, Introduction

Ars Memoriae delivers a satisfying mystery in a complex and well-thought out world. Bernobich provides enough hints about this culture to leave the reader wanting to learn more about it while neatly tying up the mystery at the story's core. Relationships, and characters, change, providing fodder for further exploration of both the world and the characters Bernobich has introduced."  —Steven H. Silver, SF Site
