The 13th and 14th novels of the series about the adventures of Garrett. A lot of mysterious crimes were unraveled by the private detective Garrett in the city of Tanfer, the capital of the kingdom of Karenta, where, in addition to people, live elves, gnomes, goblins, vampires, sorcerers, and so on and so forth. And he wants to settle down, live a serene life, but it doesn’t seem like fate wants this. In the novel “Gilded Brass Bones,” a former paranormal criminal threat is faced with a choice: to find the villains who tried to kidnap his beloved woman and attack his best friend, or leave it to the police. Maybe he would prefer the second option, but the case does not look easy to solve. And what about the fact that the head of the Tanfer mafia, Belinda Contague, has already launched a parallel investigation? In the novel The Insidious Bronze Vanity, Garrett is preparing to marry a rich beauty endowed with magical powers. But as a dowry to his beloved, he will receive her family: a sarcastic minor daughter, a strange father and a monstrous grandmother, known throughout Tanfer as the Shadow Thrower. And this means that, against his wishes, Garrett must take part in the Tournament of Swords, in which magicians fight - until only one remains alive.
