Blue and Gold (2010) and The Devil You Know (2016) follow Saloninus, an alchemist and scholar whose genius is matched only by his willingness to lie, cheat, and betray anyone who gets in his way. Both are novellas written as K.J. Parker.

The stories combine philosophical questions about knowledge and morality with Parker’s trademark dry wit. Saloninus himself is an unreliable narrator, which makes the reading experience both entertaining and tricky.
