Rex Mundi, Vol. 1: The Guardian of the Temple by Arvid Nelson

4.0

Clever alternate history cloaked in a murder mystery. In a France still ruled by the Burgundians and where the Catholic Church enjoys absolute authority, Doctor Julien Sauniere stumbles across a mystery of disappearing documents and magical, ritual murder.

A very interesting story weaving the Catholic Religion, Victorian era Paris, magic and murder mystery. A cute little, and much lighter, story at the end of the book rounds this volume out nicely. Good read.
