Description

She ll win back her freedom, even if she has to steal it.
Nimona Weston has a debt to pay. Her father s dealings with the dark society known as the Trust cost Nim her freedom. There s one way out of the contract on her life and that s to bide her time and pay the tithes. But when the Trust assigns Nim to a task in the king s own castle, her freedom is not the only thing she ll risk.
Warrick Spenser has a secret. As king s seneschal, he should be the last soul in Inara to risk association with dark magic, but long-hidden ties to the Trust are harder to shed than simply cutting the threads. When the Trust sends a thief to his rooms, Warrick thinks he s finally found a way to be rid of them for good. But Nimona Weston is hiding secrets of her own.
Magical contracts, blood-debt accountants, and a deadly game. A dark and twisty fantasy that pits magic against kings, perfect for fans of From Blood and Ash and The Shadows Between Us.
