Widowed, divorced, excommunicated, and banished, Achenar Redcliffe is looking for a new start far from the grief and shame of his homeland. Now a functionary at an embassy under a false name, his past begins to catch up to him: before he was a priest or husband, he was a thief. A good one. In a city full of treason, caught between four rival powers, his old skills are needed again. If he's lucky he'll escape the coming civil war alive.All Rights Reserved
