Synopsis

Liquid Gold - the most seductively dangerous substance in the history of the cosmos - has just been discovered in the Mocklore Empire. But no sooner does its creator, Mistress Opia, realise its breathtaking capacity to manipulate time than Sparrow, the troll-raised mercenary, steals it away. With the Liquid Gold unleashed, nothing will ever be the same again, certainly not for Kassa Daggersharp, who is unexpectedly killed by a rampaging trinket. As the Underworld's latest client, Kassa is in a position to notice that something is terribly wrong with the afterlife - and everywhere else. Meanwhile, an escaping Sparrow teams up with Daggar, a profit-scoundrel doing his best to be unscrupulous. But neither are prepared for the repercussions of tampering with the Liquid Gold. Tansy Rayner Roberts' hilarious sequel to 'Splashdance Silver' has a full complement of dysfunctional gods, dastardly villains and butt-kicking heroines.
