A ruthless spy. A deadly mission. A thief who could ruin it all.
Nore Gordon is a woman of many talents: she can speak a variety of languages, disguise herself in plain sight, and has made a name for herself as a successful wine merchant. But unbeknownst to those closest to her, it is all a front for Nore's true role as the favoured spy of the Lindle crown.
Tasked with infiltrating enemy lands in search of a powerful relic, Nore is forced to engage the services of a great thief. Unfortunately, the only person for the job is her estranged husband Caspian. Both Nore and Caspian bear the scars of the disastrous end of their marriage, but if they are to survive their deadly new assignment, they must pose as a happily married couple to avoid detection.
As danger closes in, Nore finds herself tangled in a web of lies and deceit-and though Caspian is at the centre of it all, she may not hate him as much as she once did. But Caspian has betrayed her before, and trust can be far more deadly than deception.
The series
At the heart of this series lies Grey Flynn, a young woman bound to her mage by blood and magic, sworn to be his blade, healer, and shield. Her life is one of service and devotion, yet beneath that loyalty rests a secret so dangerous it could unravel the very foundation of their world. For Grey is no ordinary conduit of power, and if she falls, magic itself will wither with her.
Read full series description
The story moves beyond battlefield clashes and court intrigues into the intimate space where trust and betrayal blur. As Grey and Kier are pulled into a perilous quest to protect the child of a rival kingdom, every choice tests the limits of loyalty, love, and survival. Magic here is not just a weapon, but a fragile lifeline, a force that binds hearts as tightly as it binds kingdoms.
Darkly atmospheric and steeped in tension, the series draws readers into a gothic-inspired fantasy where sacrifice lingers behind every decision. It is a tale of hidden truths and haunting power, where the fate of magic itself rests on one woman’s ability to keep her secret, even from the person she loves most.
