Five years ago, one reckless decision cost Linny Mae her freedom.
Since then, she has survived the desert city of Sarab as property of a secretive brotherhood, trained in combat, deception, and obedience until the debt of her childhood mistake is finally repaid.
When a routine intelligence mission ends in the accidental death of a foreign nobleman, Linny is presented with what she has fought for all these years: one final assignment, and her contract will be fulfilled.
Her task is simple-enter the socialite world of nobles and merchants, win the trust of the dead man's son, and secure an invitation to the Vernal Ball, where nobles and priests hold the key to secrets they intend to keep hidden.
But beneath the masks and posturing lies a darker mystery: a strange illness spreading from the north, and a wealthy benefactor who wants answers-whatever the cost.
With freedom closer than ever, Linny begins to imagine a life of her own.
Instead, she may be walking out of one contract... and straight into another.
And this time, the price could be everything.
Disclaimer
The characters that appear in this book are completely fictional. Any similarities to real people, whether living or dead, are purely coincidental.
If you think you were the inspiration for any of the pathetic excuses for humans that are the antagonists, that is between you and your conscience.
I, meanwhile, regret nothing.
