The only thing harder than the journey to Muscovy is their arrival in Muscovy. An audience with the duke seems impossible to obtain, and Darger and Surplus quickly become entangled in a morass of deceit and revolution.\n\nThe only thing more dangerous than the convoluted political web surrounding Darger and Surplus is the gift itself, the Pearls of Byzantium, and Zoësophia, the governess sworn to protect their virtue.\n\nThis steampunk-esque adventure explores the great game of espionage and empire building, from the point of view of the world’s most accomplished con men, Darger and Surplus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Night Shade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67916336234549,"sku":"ByrdShop_1597802352","price":28.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781597802352.jpg?v=1794030231","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/dancing-with-bears-a-darger-surplus-novel-9781597802352","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
