D. M. Cornish starts his latest novel in the Monster Blood Tattoo series (a planned trilogy), Lamplighter, where his first book, Monster Blood Tattoo, left off. Lamplighter follows a Foundling (orphan) boy, Rossamünd, who has been summoned to train under the military branch of the Lamplighters, soldiers who walk the Empire's monster- plagued streets and light the Great Lamps for the safety of travelers. Rossamünd arrives at the Lamplighters' barracks, Winstermill Manse, and begins his training as a prentice.

Lamplighter by D. M. Cornish is a fantasy-adventure story. Rossamund's world is inhabited by monsters. Monsters are enemies, but Rossamund and a few others happen to be friends with them. After a monster attack, a calendar (a member of a female society of philanthropy and protection) called Threnody demands to be made a lamplighter prentice like Rossamund. When the Lamplighter- Marshal is called away, the Master-of-Clerks becomes Marshal-Subrogat and sends all the prentices to cothouses.
