About the book: 2018 / There are secrets that are better not revealed. But history professor Patricia Duncan doesn't think so. To unravel the mystery of a goblin sanctuary discovered in the mountains, she returns to her hometown, where she fled twenty years ago in search of a better life. Tate Tyroll, an alchemist-demolitionist who has his own selfish interest in this matter, is recruited as her assistant. But when something that has been hidden in the mountains for centuries breaks free, Patricia and Tate have to forget about their original plans for the sake of a common goal, because the stake is much greater than the quiet life of a provincial town, and where magic and revolvers are powerless, love and crazy case.
