Dayne Heldrin and Jerinne Fendall, elite warriors of the Tarian Order, have no idea how close they truly are to the center of the city\u2019s dark secrets. But when they learn that children are going missing, they know they must investigate further\u2013no matter the cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-system-serif-font-family has-small-font-size\">They are soon joined by others, each with their own reasons for seeking the children. Veranix Calbert, the vigilante known as the Thorn, thinks his enemies are responsible for the missing children. Inspectors Minox Welling and Satrine Rainey fear the disappearing children are tied to corruption in the city Constabulary. Asti and Verci Rynax hope to protect the kids from their streets, one of whom barely escaped the kidnappers. And a mysterious young cloistress seeks to lead each of them deeper down into the depths of enigmas beneath the city, to the dark, unholy cult known as the Brotherhood, and the horrors that are growing within it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-system-serif-font-family has-small-font-size\">The only hope Maradaine might have against the impending darkness is if these champions can work together to protect all the people of the city\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-system-serif-font-family has-small-font-size\"><strong><strong>\u201cMaresca has achieved something truly magnificent here.\u201d<\/strong>&nbsp; \u2013&nbsp;<\/strong><em>Cass Morris, Author of&nbsp;<\/em><strong><em>From Unseen Fire<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-accent-background-color has-background has-medium-font-size is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-6c531013 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<html>\n<div style=\"border: 1px solid #DCDCDC; border-radius: 12px; padding: 15px; display: flex; width:300px;\">\n    <div style=\"display: flex; flex: 45%; padding-right: 15px;\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/image-hub-cloud.lightningsource.com\/2011-04-01\/Images\/front_cover\/x200\/sku\/1958743666.jpg?viewkey=a1a20db835aa59db9373b47af667e21fa4fbc2298dc4ca70711d908a7d169e18\" style=\"width: 96px; height: auto; align-self: flex-start;\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div style=\"flex: 55%;\">\n        <div style=\"text-align: left; font: normal normal bold 16px\/22px Open Sans; padding: 5px;\">\n            People of the City\n        <\/div>\n        <div style=\"text-align: left; font: italic normal normal 13px\/18px Open Sans; padding: 5px;\">\n             Maresca, Marshall Ryan\n         <\/div>\n         <div>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.ingramspark.com\/b\/084?params=lK8qpP21vTNuohITu3Mb9gm6i8Vz5iFLPS6upB4T4rS\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"background: #FEBE10 0% 0% no-repeat padding-box; border-radius:8px; color:black; text-decoration:none; width: 163px; height: 34px; display: table-cell; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle; font: normal normal bold 16px\/22px Open Sans;\">Buy Now<\/a>\n         <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><\/html>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/245067564-people-of-the-city\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/artemisiapub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/goodreads-logo.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-138\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/a\/16841\/9781958743669\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/maradaine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bookshop-logo.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-244\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4b2r6BA\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/artemisiapub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Amazon-Logo.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artemisiapub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Amazon-Logo.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/artemisiapub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Amazon-Logo-100x100.jpeg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/people-of-the-city-marshall-ryan-maresca\/1136524877?ean=9781958743669\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/artemisiapub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/BN-Logo.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-141\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artemisiapub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/BN-Logo.png 150w, https:\/\/artemisiapub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/BN-Logo-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PEOPLE OF THE CITY The Maradaine EliteBook Three Dayne and Jerinne of the Tarian Order.
