Empress Editions Acquires World Rights to The Department of Dark Errands: Shadowmarked, the First Book in a Paranormal Spy Romance Trilogy by Imogen Vane
Set in an alternate near-future London where MI6 runs on blood sigils, truth potions, and memory extractions, Shadowmarked invites readers into a lush and lethal world of magical espionage, secret pacts, and forbidden love.
Welcome to the Department of Dark Errands—London’s most elite (and most dangerous) magical intelligence agency. Author Imogen Vane brings a whip-smart, wildly seductive narrative perfect for fans of Rebecca Yarros—but with a twist of Nora Ephron wit and a heroine who can kill a god, break a curse, and still make a mean cup of tea.
