Peerless

What is the fear of a nation? The sound of war? The death of a king?

The Kingdom of Yellow Mountain is not immune to fears. As news of the monarch's death spreads. The family Peerless knows this is a time to act with boldness. A weak king cannot occupy the throne and a fragile kingdom cannot survive a war. Family Patriarch Peregrine Peerless and chief aide to the kingdom grapples with a cantankerous queen mother and disloyalty in court as a new heir takes the throne.
Meanwhile, the pressure is on for Adolph Peerless, a strict judge, to follow a trail of handbills pointing to anarchy. With them is Duchess Hoopoe, a woman aspiring to become a royal investigator steeped in a tragic case of her own.
Assisted by a network of family and friends, including a daughter trapped in an arranged marriage and a comical preacher, they visit the upper class and the underbelly of society to get to the bottom of a string of crimes threatening to corrupt the stability of the nation.
