In the far reaches of the Sovereignty's northernmost territories, the law has finally caught up with one of Zaedath's most notorious spies.
Accused traitor, rogue magus and former spy Katrina Ralyntine had always been known for her honeyed words and silver tongue. For years, she had prospered from a life of espionage among the ranks of the Shadlyr spy rings spread throughout the continent, bringing down some of the most influential nobles, scientists and political figures. She's framed priests for murder and brought industries to their knees and at the height of her career, her world came crumbled in the wake of deception and betrayal.
After three years spent in hiding high in the mountains of the Rumundanas, her luck has reached its end. She's captured, beaten and thrust at the feet of a northman savage turned Sovereignty tracker who offers her a choice on behalf of the Sovereignty itself: five years of servitude spent as Sovereign mole in a rival nation or her life.

Secrets of the Swords, Book 1
Acting normal is not the same as being normal. No one knows that truth better than Suthe Montikwe. Born with the unlucky genes of a distant druith ancestor, she's had to hide her talents in order not to be outcast by society. Her strategy is to smile, keep quiet, and work hard. While that method may keep her safe, it's also alienated her from her neighbors and friends, and the worry that she may be discovered is never far from her thoughts. When her country sends out a warrant to capture anyone who practices magic, Suthe is forced to seek refuge elsewhere, all the while wondering at the sudden proclamation. Why has the government taken an interest in her, and when will she be able to return home? Unsatisfied with her lack of answers, Suthe decides to investigate. But the more she looks, the deeper she gets herself into trouble, and she comes to realize that this mystery does not involve her country alone. The threat of war looms on the horizon, and Suthe will need to put her trust in the strangers she meets, including a dangerous spy wanted for the betrayal of his own country. But most importantly, Suthe will need to trust herself, and her abilities, if she ever wants to see home again. ~*~Current cover by Amanda-Mae ~*~ ~*~Previous cover by italychick~*~Complete
