Of Spies and Shadows

For months, Tove’s been running. Running for her life, running from home, and running before anyone can get close. Her running took her all the way to a new continent, free from anyone who knows of her or her magic as a shadow-wielder—including those that want her dead. Her only desire is a fresh start, far from the dangers chasing her. 

​

But her chance at a new life is put on hold when she’s captured by the Sultan for a dangerous task: becoming his informant. Her magic and background make her his perfect tool against visitors from her home continent during the creation of a treaty, putting her in close proximity to people who’d gut her if they discovered her magic. 

​

Trapped and posed as a courtesan for the commander of the guard, Tove discovers things in her shining new land are not what they seem: not the Sultan, not the Court, not the motivations for the treaty, and not the loyal commander Kaolum she’s supposed to be spying on. And as dangerous attacks start occurring within the palace, it won’t only be Tove’s fresh start on the line, but her life, too. 

​

To survive the palace and earn her freedom, Tove will have to decide who and what she can trust: her connections within the Court, the powers that put her on the run in the first place, and the passion and desire Kaolum ignites in her. 

​

Or most importantly, whether or not she’s willing to trust anyone ever again.
