She is the Empire's last defense. And its most dangerous weapon.
At seventeen, Viviann Marie Evans called a council of generals fools to their faces - and saved thousands with nothing but her wits.
By twenty, she was the youngest spymaster in history. Feared. Brilliant. Utterly irreplaceable.
But when the King she serves falls dangerously in love with her, and a young man with grey eyes and a hidden past steps out of the shadows, Viviann faces the one enemy she cannot outwit: her own heart.
Dark SpecFi. Slow-burn romance. Absolutely morally grey heroine.
